Built in the 1700s, the Rowan Tree Country Hotel now offers elegant rooms, many with views of the mountains, Cairngorm National Park or Loch Alvie. Traditional Scottish breakfasts are available. The hotel has a lounge and bar, both with log fires in winter. The bar has a selection of local gins and whiskeys. The restaurant serves Scottish dishes, many using local ingredients and offers cooked breakfasts including porridge with whiskey. Meals need to be booked prior to arrival to avoid disappointment.

    Breakfasts were amazing--varied, very well prepared, and abundant. The two nights we had dinner the food was exceptional. My top recommendations are the scallops and the venison. The staff were also really great--the accommodated late arrivals...
