Rowan Cottage - Retreat Group
Rowan Cottage nestles in one of the most idyllic and enviable locations in the Cairngorms National Park. Offering superb views over the Cairngorms and hugging the edge of a picturesque lochan you will delight in the peace and tranquillity. It is a large and luxurious traditional stone cottage and only a couple of miles north of Aviemore.
An excellent holiday choice for a few families holidaying together, or a large group celebrating a special occasion. This spacious cottage will let you explore the great outdoors right from your doorstep and provide the perfect place to relax and unwind after your day exploring.
The cottage sits in its own private grounds with plenty of parking for guests. It is only one of 6 cottages which are dotted around the Lochan. The bright entrance hall leads you off to the well-appointed kitchen where the chef for the night has everything they need and plenty of space to work their magic. The atmospheric dining area is open to the kitchen making it easy for dinner to be served and for the chef to be part of the pre-dinner chat. After dinner, the cosy lounge with open fire offers a relaxing space to swap stories of the day or compete in a friendly game of Scrabble. In the morning you can set yourself up for the day by drinking in the tranquil views in the bright and airy breakfast conservatory.
On the ground floor you will find a comfortable double bedroom with en-suite shower room. Head upstairs and you will discover another double room, a twin room and a family bedroom with en-suite (with 1 double bed & 2 singles), all with gorgeously comfortable mattresses. A family bathroom and shower room upstairs will ensure that no-one needs to queue.
The luxury continues outside onto the patio where you can watch the changing colours of sunset while you sit at the outdoor dining & BBQ area.
And the cherry on top is to sink into the fabulous hot tub and let your troubles drift away.

Rowan cottage was a lovely space for the family to meet up together. Comfortable and cosy with everything we needed. There was a bit of noise from the road which we hadn’t expected but it didn’t spoil a wonderful weekend.
