Rowan lodge is a set in a great location, peaceful & relaxing with enough local shops should you need it.. This was a great base for us to explore the highlands. The lodge itself is perfect; cosy and comfortable, with some nice walks on your doorstep. I will definitely look to return.

Strathpeffer is a super location however we were disappointed with the cottage. We felt the cottage ,especially the bedrooms ,were very dark. We were a party of four and my husband and I slept in the twin room. We did not feel the room was properly clean ,it was fousty smelling and there was evidence of cobwebs behind the beds. The curtains in this room fell down twice when opening them. There was one set of towels for the five nights which we washed midweek but were unable to dry them despite being there during beautiful weather. This was due to the cottage being over hung with overgrown trees and bushes not allowing sunshine or sufficient air to flow round them. There was no tumble dryer, we had to purchase new towels for the remainder of our stay. The communal areas were comfortable but over all the cottage itself is getting tired looking ,internally and externally.

This was a great little break for myself and my partner and the dogs.. Cosy little lodge with great facilities. The surrounding area of woodland was exactly what we were after with the dogs. The lodge is spacious and has everything you need. Will definitely be back

We enjoyed a fabulous family retreat in Rowan Lodge surrounded by nature in Blackmuir Woods.. The chalet was cosy, well equipped and the welcome pack left by our kind host much appreciated on arrival. We had everything we needed for a most enjoyable 5 night stay. Deer prints in the snow surrounding the chalet produced much excitement as did watching the bluetits and other birds feeding from just outside the window. We enjoyed lovely walks in the woods and around Strathpeffer. From up the nearby hill we could see Red Kites soaring and landing in close proximity. Inverness is only half an hour away for shopping, cinema, Aquadome. Unfortunately the icerink was closed for maintainance. We would love to return to this location and highly recommend this group of chalets to anyone wanting a Highland retreat.

Arrived at Rowan lodge quite late and we had difficulty finding in the dark so got in touch with Jane who was great guided us to the lodge and welcomed us, it was decorated all Christmassy and looked beautiful.. She also left us a lovely hamper which we all enjoyed throughout our stay over Xmas 2018, the lodge is located in the forest and the walks in the area are brilliant. The lodge itself had everything you need for a stay of every kind. Would love to return again for a longer length of time for sure. Many thanks Jane for a wonderful Christmas break from Helen, Delme, My daughter Keisha and Boris the dog

Rowan Lodge was the perfect lodge for holidaying with my dog.. The location was absolutely amazing, right on the doorstep of Blackmuir Wood, with lots of lovely walks right from the doorstep. The lodge itself was warm and cosy. The kitchen was supplied with every cooking utensil and facilities you would require, including a chest freezer and washing machine. The living room area was perfect for relaxing, comfy sofas and large TV to relax at the end of the day. The bathroom had the best of both worlds with both a large bath (plenty of hot water) with a really good shower over the bath, lovely large bath towels also supplied as part of the rental. I had a fantastic week's stay and will definitely return.... Thank you Maria

Updated photos on website.. Needs information sheets in lodge on area. Hoover in lodge needed cleaning out before use. Fence on veranda needs looking at as my border collies can fit through gaps.

Comfortable well equipped cabin, very private, amazing watching birds from front window, peaceful, set in the middle of blackmuir woods and easy walks right on your doorstep. The only sound I heard at night was an owl hooting. Would stay here again. Cabin was warm, spacious, clean and even has a chest freezer. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Ideally placed for exploring surrounding area.

Stunning Log cabin in a peaceful location set in the village of Strathpeffer. With woodland and wildlife all around. The owners are truly lovely people who cannot do enough for you. The log cabin is very well equipped with everything you could ever need, with a lovely welcome tray sat on the dining table which was so nice and enjoyed by all of us. It's location means it is a great place to chill out and the tranquillity says a good nights sleep is guaranteed. The village of Strathpeffer is very pretty and Dingwall is just 5 miles away, Who could ask for more. We have already booked again for next year, but this time for a longer stay.

My wife, daughter and I stayed for a week in October. We had a really great stay and didn't want to leave. The lodge is situated on the outskirts of Strathpeffer with all amenities close by. Strathpeffer itself is a beautiful Victoria spa town and is a great location from which to tour the Highlands. Jane (the owner) was lovely. She was available when we needed her to be and provided an excellent welcome pack of fresh bread, cakes, jam and muffins - very nice indeed. The lodge had everything you would need; it was always warm and cosy and there was plentiful hot water. Jane had laminated cards available for a number of local walks which was really helpful. The cabin was situated at the entrance to a forest which made you feel like you were really getting away from it all. Wifi was available too. All in all I would highly recommend Rowan Lodge.
Mr Evans, January 2016

Beautiful lodge and surroundings.. The owner was friendly and helpful. The beds were really comfortable with lovely bed linen. I cannot recommend this lodge highly enough, everything about it was excellent. The area is in an excellent position for exploring.

We, parents plus one adult son, much enjoyed our visit. Jane and her husband Kenny could not have been better "hosts". The lodge is compact, warm, comfortable and quiet. (And, immediately we had noticed and reported that the microwave cooker seemed to have been damaged, a new one was produced and installed). We unreservedly recommend this place to visitors to the area.

We were met by the owner, who ensured we had everything we needed, including a blanket for the dog! She was unobtrusively on hand during our stay. The welcome pack was delicious, the chalet was spotless and very comfortable to return to after a day out walking in the many, diverse venues locally, none of them too challenging for either ourselves or our elderly dog. For a quiet holiday in beautiful woodland surroundings, you couldn't do better!
