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.

Dear Guest I assume that you all had a nice time at Rowlands, just reference our emails. We do not have a manager as such, as I contact all the guests directly, as it makes it easier for both parties & guests can contact me anytime if they have any questions or queries, rather then spending ages on the phone with agents, which has worked really well over the last 20 years.

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.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Law

Host profile image
Helen and Gary bought Rowlands Aviemore in 2004. We're winter sports enthusiasts and love skiing/walking and climbing in the mountains but we always had problems finding somewhere to stay as, at the time we had 2 dogs and they went everywhere with us. Spending so much time in the Cairngorms, we decided the time was right to buy our own home in the Highlands.

Why they chose this property

We decided it was important that others had the opportunity to find comfortable/modern and well priced accommodation for their visits to Aviemore so we decided to let out the house for those who had similar interests and circumstances as us. As usual, nothing stays the same and along came our son in 2006 and now our focus is much more on family accommodation, and we still have our dog who keeps us company on our skiing/cycling/walking trips to the Cairngorms. We hope you enjoy Rowlands as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Open plan living space downstairs, 4 bedrooms all with TV/DVD for rainy days including 2 ground floor bedrooms suitable for people with mobility difficulties and downstairs bathroom as well, mountain views, watch the Strathspey Steam train chug by.......... yet only a 15 minute walk to the village centre. With lots of winter sports in the winter too, Aviemore is a year round resort appealing to families, groups and everyone in between!
