We have just returned from the Rowan Tree Country Hotel just outside Aviemore and wanted to let others know what a lovely place it is. It is a great place for a romantic break, a reunion or a family holiday. We took our six month old and our six year old children with us and were made very welcome. The... more

We booked online on the hotel’s own website to enjoy a weekend skiing at the nearby Cairngorm Mountain Range. Unfortunately upon arrival we were advised that there was a problem and the bedroom selected, with a king-sized bed, was not available. We were offered an alternative room with the option that if this didn’t suit the hotel would try to... more

Stayed at the Rowan in July 2008 for one night as part of a week long tour of Scotland. My girlfriend booked the hotel based on its TA reviews and the fact that they are dog friendly! The hotel is easy to find (sign posted at the main junction at the turn off for Aviemore). The hotel is very nice... more

We stayed at Rowan for one night during a one-week tour in Scotland. Location: 2-3 miles south of Aviemore. Nice location - in the woods - if you are driving. The hotel: nice older house, with "character" as some other reviewers wrote. Plenty of parking space. The room: we stayed in room 8, which was nicely appointed with a very... more

We booked this hotel lastminute on laterooms website for a bank holiday break and have been back twice since! The hotel is small, cosy and very homely feeling. The rooms are individually designed and pretty luxurious considering the price! The food is absolutely fantastic and locally sourced. There are not enough superlatives to describe this place and I would highly... more

We stayed at the Rowan Tree for three nights, using it as a base for birdwatching in the area. It was perfectly sited for all the local birding hot-spots and the reviews on here made it sound great. What I didn't realise was that the birding from the hotel would be so good. From the car-park we saw Buzzard, Woodcock... more

The Rowan Tree Country Hotel is a great place to spend a few days. We stayed twice recently on our way up to / back from the far north of Scotland. The hotel is located close to the main A9 but far enough away not to be affected by road noise. On our first visit we stayed in Room 5... more

I stayed here with five friends in January 2007, for my birthday, it was so enjoyable that two of us returned for a five night New Year's break. The hotel is lovely and welcoming, the people are very friendly and helpful and the food is so good (and served in huge portions!!). I am a vegetarian and a fussy eater... more

Had a lovely stay for 4 nights. Good location for the vast range of activities to take part in the area but you can visit other websites to get this info. About two miles outside of the town but we found it a pleasant walk in each day. At night we tended to get a taxi back for £ 4... more
