Rowlands is a self catering accommodation in the heart of the Highlands. Rowlands is a 4 bedroom cottage, sleeping 8 plus 1 baby. Dogs welcome. Large garden with patio, outdoor seating and storage shed. Rowlands has been completely renovated, extended and re-furnished in 2011, well maintained and equipped to excellent standards. Located in a pleasant residential area, the cottage is just 5 minutes walk from the golf course and 15 minutes walk from the village centre. The open countryside around Aviemore is just metres away. Aviemore is in the centre of Scotland’s great outdoors. Dominated by the wild Cairngorm mountains and surrounded by rivers, lochs and Caledonian forest, Aviemore is the ideal base for year round activities and offers walking, mountain biking, winter sports, golf, fishing and climbing. It is also a family resort, with swimming pools, children's play areas and soft play in the village and plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area


In 2011 we completely renovated, extended and re-furnished our house so we can now offer accommodation for 8 plus one baby. We offer 4 bedrooms (2 doubles, 1 twin and 1 bunks) and 2 bathrooms as well as open plan living. We have chosen a modern and contemporary design for our living space, with all the usual electrical appliances you would expect and we have furnished our house to a high standard. There is also a high chair and travel cot (bring your own bedding). The price you pay includes bedding, towels, electricity and water - there are no hidden charges. We are pleased to accept pets by arrangement. We offer free wireless broadband throughout the house and all bedrooms have TV/DVD players with Freesat.

Living/dining room area: The open plan dining/living room contains 2 comfortable leather sofas and dining space for 8 people. There is an LCD TV, DVD player, Freesat HD TV and CD/radio player. Kitchen area: the kitchen is fitted with contemporary units and has a fridge/freezer, electric cooker with a double oven, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine and tumble drier.

Downstairs bedrooms: at the front of the cottage we have a king-size double (which can be converted into 2 single beds) with a built in wardrobe and an additional pine tallboy offering ample hanging and shelf space. At the back of the cottage, we have a twin room with a built in wardrobe and pine drawers. The downstairs bathroom had a drench shower over the bath as well as the sink and toilet.

Upstairs bedrooms: the main bedroom offers a king-size double with windows on both sides, including a dormer offering views of the Craigellachie Hills; there is also a wardrobe, drawers and a changing table. The final bedroom has a full size set of bunk beds and a chest of drawers and views of the Craigellachie Hills through a dormer window. The upstairs bathroom offers a large shower cubicle with electric shower as well as the sink and toilet.

Outside: The house is surrounded on 2 sides by a lawned garden, offering ample space for barbecues. Outdoor furniture is provided for dining or seating outside and we have also built a paved patio area with a wooden picnic table and seats for 8. There is off road parking for 3 cars. We provide a small shed for storage of your outdoor equipment such as skis/boards, mountain bikes and golf clubs.

excellent cottage on edge of Aviemore.
first class, well maintained property, which was ideal for our party of 8 with ages ranging from 6 to 74. Cottage was well equipped and adequately big enough for us. It was also very handy for all the local amenities, and all in all a lovely place to stay whilst in Aviemore. I would recommend this property.

Nice stay after initital hiccup
This is a nice, spacious property in a good location in Aviemore and we had a very comfortable stay. The only problem we had was that the property wasn't cleaned for us on arrival and still had dirty bed linen etc from the previous guests. There seemed to have been a miscommunication with the cleaners but after calling Gary, he managed to get it resolved for us asap, which was much appreciated.

Great place
Very cozy, comfortable and clean. Got all you need for a family stay. Not so close to walk to Aviemore center with young children, but it's a small town so just 4-5 minutes drive and your there. Communication with the owner was great. All in all a very good value for money. I highly recommend this place.

Luxury in Aviemore
Just had our second stay at Rowlands Cottage. Our ages range from 20 to 90 years and it suitable for everyone. It is decorated and kept to a very high standard, equipped with everything you need and ideally located for visiting surrounding area. Just a fabulous cottage not forgetting large garden. Do not hesitate to visit you will not be sorry.

Excellent property, great location
Aviemore is one of our favourite places to holiday in Scotland and this visit did not disappoint. We have stayed in several different properties and found Rowlands excellent, we would definately return to this property. A well equipped, comfortable and clean property. Our family complete with 2 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs all had plenty of space to enjoy with lots of facilities nearby. We were lucky enough to have snow for this visit and enjoyed a day on the slopes.

Excellent property in an excellent location.
The property offered excellent accommodation for us and our family members visiting Scotland from the USA. We all had a lovely time and were very impressed with everything about the property. It was scrupulously clean and all the furnishings were of very high quality. We all commented as to how homely and comfortable it felt, unlike a lot of rental properties. The lovely garden was a real bonus. We have spent a lot of time in Aviemore over the years and I would certainly like to stay in this property again.

Fantastic family holiday home in Aviemore
Have stayed at Rowlands several times over the past few years as Aviemore is a regular family holiday destination. This is fantastic property for 8 people to stay comfortably. Has all the comforts and requirements you require for a holiday in the outdoors ( the washing machine & dryer have been well used thanks to the Scottish weather on occasion ). Heating is great and there is plenty hot water for baths and showers. Very well equipped kitchen. There is also a great garden and seating area to go with the BBQ for the nice weather. Will definitely be using again.

As advertised - nice place for a big group
The place is exactly as advertised and provides a great spot for a family or group to explore Aviemore and the Carigorms national park area. There's a grocery just a 5 minute walk away, the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc. but make sure to bring all the spices, coffee, etc. that you need. It's in a great location whether you're looking for hiking shopping in town or beautiful drives. The hosts are perfectly adequate and give you all the info you need. Check in was a breeze.

Great home from home
Everything was as described on the website and provided us with lots of room, comfort and a quiet stay. Lots of toys and a safe garden if you have children and plenty of room for adults to relax. Good easy distance from the centre of Aviemore. Great information on nearby activities and eating places. Special mention for the Mountain Top Cafe from us! Couldn't have asked for a better holiday home and Gary was great at communicating with us before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend and would return.

Very deceptive from the outside! Open the door to a welcoming home from home. Lovely open plan living room and dining area. Kitchen is equipped with everything you could ever need and more. Comfortable bed and cracking shower too. Location perfect, a lovely walk into Aviemore past the steam railway. Planning to stay again!! ;-)

Nice and roomy in a quiet neighborhood
Great communication from the owners. It is an updated and well done added-on-to house that has the feel of a well loved home. The 4 of us, two couples, had more than enough room to spread out among the 4 bedrooms on 2 floors and we had everything we needed. It's a 5 minute car trip to Aviemore so restaurants, coffee, ice cream and shopping are close by. It's in a safe and quiet neighborhood.

Fantastic cottage close to centre of Aviemore
Now stayed at Rowlands on several occasions and every time on return have forgotten how lovely and homely it is. Openplan living room/ kitchen with dining table and 4 bedrooms each sleeping 2. Always very clean and well equipped. Dog friendly home. 15minute walk maximum in to Aviemore centre but also excellent base for exploring the rest of the Cairngorms where there is an abundance of outdoor activities. Gary is a pleasure to deal with and deals with any queries promptly.

Great property, great location, home from home
After a long drive, this is the place you want to be relaxing - comfortable living area, well equipped kitchen with everything you need and more, good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage space, quality bedding and fluffy towels. It might have been cold outside but it was lovely and warm on the inside. Lovely sized garden for the dog to run around and good dog walks close by (including the river, we couldn't keep our dog out of it!). Overall, we had a fantastic ski break staying here, plenty of snow up top and great conditions. And the après ski isn't far away in Aviemore village centre, we did Mambo's for hot chocolate and got some fish and chips at the chippy in the shopping area. Highly recommended!
