The hotel - originally called The Lynwilg Mail and one of the oldest Inns in the Spey valley - was built in the 1700’s as a coaching inn alongside the Great North Road.

Extended in the mid-1800’s, it rapidly established an excellent reputation and received honourable mentions in a number of diaries and accounts of the time.

In its time, a part of the hotel (currently Speyside Horn & Country Crafts) has served as the village store, the post office and the local pub!!

Renamed The Rowan Tree in the early 90’s, the hotel has been tastefully modernised & upgraded but always with an eye to retaining it’s essential character & features – timber beams, open fires & the stained glass leaded window at the head of the splendid staircase.
