The room was very warm and comfortable. In particular, the mattress was very comfy and the linens were high quality - I slept incredibly well! The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Although the hotel is on a 'main' road, there was virtually no traffic overnight and it was a peaceful place to stay - despite the fact that there was a wedding party occupying many of the other rooms, my sleep was undisturbed. Food in the restaurant was excellent.

I understand why breakfast needs to be ordered the night before - avoids waste and allows food to be cooked freshly at the appropriate time - however, it's not always possible to predict how much or what you might want to eat the next morning, especially if ordering before visiting the excellent restaurant for an evening meal! Otherwise I had no complaints and would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is a old 'modernised' Inn in the Victorian times and that twee charm has been retained. The room although a single had everything in it that I needed. Lovely ensuite bathroom looks very new. The breakfast was really good, quality ingredients cooked very well (steady on, on the bacon though :)) It's a lovely, quiet setting overlooking the loch Albie? Very friendly, attentive staff. The owner was very accommodating very late booking/check in so I was grateful for that. I hope to return on my visits to Aviemore!

The only thing I'd be tempted to look at is the bedroom windows blind - a bit fiddly. Venetian possible better. TV was a bit too SMART for me, but I wasn't staying to binge watch!

The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We had cancelled and delayed flights at the start of our trip. The Rowan Tree gentleman I spoke to on the phone and text was so helpful and understanding throughout the whole ordeal. This place felt like our home away from home. If we return to Scotland one day I will definitely be staying at the Rowan Tree hotel.❤️

This was a three-star hotel that really exceeded my expectations. My room was beautifully decorated and equipped, with lovely comfortable bed and good tea and coffee (and biscuit!) facilities. Nice bar and lounge. But what really got me was the quality of the food. Pricey by local standards but really delicious. And friendly helpful staff. It’s unlikely I’ll be back this way but if I am I shall stay again!

My room was cold. It’s OK in some places to turn off the heating completely when summer arrives but it’s unrealistic when the hotel is in the Scottish Highlands at an altitude of 225 m (750 ft). Fortunately I had a nice ward duvet.

Small Country Hotel, great staff with very friendly relaxed attitude. Food was excellent. Pleasant strolling in fields behind with your pets as dogs and cats welcome. Only a couple of miles from Aviemore where there are plenty of activities. Not to mention skiing! Altogether a very pleasant stay and would recommend to anyone

The weather was a little disappointing but it was February!

Great location, the room was clean, the break was a bit confusing at the time for ordering but one of the ladies from staff excepted and we understand how we need to proceed. The breakfast was very nice and tasty. The coffee was not what I aspected, was a big pot and was not very strong. The bed was not very comfortable, and to small for 2 persons Overall we have a great stay, nice area for walking with dog, nice lake nearby, nice view.

We loved the location as it was nice and quiet for us. Our room was really nice and comfortable, the staff were all very friendly and, the two nights we ate dinner there, the food was amazing!

There was nothing we didn’t like about our stay here.

Very comfortable room, good shower and plenty of space. Warm open fireplaces, very friendly staff and they love dogs. Also the food in the restaurant is good quality. To top this off, there is a charging point on the parking. Important when you travel with an electric car. A ten from us and we will be pleased to come back

The staff were lovely and very welcoming. The room was perfect for a solo traveller. Location is great for Aviemore and the outdoors. Ample parking. The breakfast was lovely and it was a shame to curtail my trip as I couldn’t get to eat in the restaurant. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing

Very accommodating to our dog. Friendly staff, massive comfy bed, big room, beautiful location. Breakfast was great, personal and they made us feel comfortable enough to trial first hotel breakfast with our young dog - it went passably well.

I'd have loved a bath - but I understand not always the space.
