The Hotel's history

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 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.
