We booked a small double room which was still a nice size and offered a comfortable stay for our two night break. We had a lovely breakfast in the morning with friendly and helpful staff.

We loved our stay at Rowan Tree. Staff are friendly, the hotel is cosy and authentic. The highlight for us was the amazing food. Very good cooked breakfast included but the dinners were just fabulous. I would come back for the Venison or Beef Wellington alone.

Lovely position on a Loch

Location was beautiful. Staff friendly and efficient. Room was sadly cramped, basic and expensive compared to other hotels we stayed in this area. No ventilation in the bathroom so mould forming and door stuck. Breakfast was excellent. Evening meal we found expensive and very rich.

Quaint B&B with a great restaurant.

A comfortable B&B just a mile or so outside of Aviemore serves a great base for exploring the Cairngorms. The made-to-order breakfasts and the dinners were both outstanding. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

A great last-minute booking

Booked last-minute as an overnight stop off. Really nice, comfortable hotel, with good food and really helpful service from the staff. Good value for money for the standard of the hotel and the location. I would stay here again.

Scenic Rowan

The hotel is located within some outstanding scenery with Loch Alvie literally on your doorstep. We were all made to feel welcome, including Dizzy the dog , and the chefs produced some delicious food as we sat near a blazing log fire. Room and bathroom were very clean and well appointed. The only grumble we would have is that we were charged for our dog's stay on a nightly basis, to cover additional cleaning, as opposed to per visit, you would only clean the room once even after 2 nights stay.

Some (likely one-off) issues but not good overall

Nice staff and convenient location. Nice breakfast. Appreciated the fires downstairs in the bar and nook, though the lounge itself was like someone's front room and unused. Comfy beds and decent bathroom. Our main complaint was the doors were freshly painted and the window hadnt been opened so we were breathing in toxic fumes all night - had to sleep with the window open. Did attempt to find someone at 1am but no night manager number on front desk. Restaurant was getting very hot so heating turned off, but this included our rooms! Electric heater was provided on request. Staff seemed to have accidentally set the fire alarm off at midnight (maybe it was the heat downstairs) but they responded quickly which is good to know. Would probably stay again, maybe on an upper floor bigger room though.
