The Rowan Tree Country Hotel, Aviemore - Reviews & Ratings"Knew of this hotel and its location from previous visit 10 yrs ago+. Ideally situated out of the hustle of Aviemore. Nearby trains(& frequency of) a source of interest rather than annoyance - is that the London sleeper?. Much better than remembered. Very comfortable, very friendly. Despite management's experience, the totally comprehensive gravel parking IS very difficult for motorbikes, esp heavily-laden tourers. A small area of hard standing would be a luxury! All-in-all, a very pleasant and fairly priced experience." (3304851412)
Splendid room; Great to see fresh coffee in room. Very flexible evening meal/dining - helpful to small appetites!
Very little; television poor & few channels (maybe missed explanation in guest book) - remote batteries dud. No towels - but that was just an oversight.

"The overall stay was enjoyable but once upstairs in my room was reluctant to come out again." (108358059)
Helpfulness of staff. Comfortable room and bed.
Disappointed there were no facilities for a disabled person e.g. ground floor room. I personally had great difficulty climbing the stairs.
