Dunalastair Estate is located in Highland Perthshire, an area renowned for its beautiful scenery and quiet glens such as Rannoch where the estate is situated. Only 2 hours drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow, our nine individual, luxury cottages are a perfect base for touring. The area has a huge number of activities for all ages from walking and cycling to visiting distilleries, from bungee jumping to white water rafting, horse-riding to cycling, gardens to theatre, safaris to geocaching and so much more.
Set apart on a 10,000 acres hill-farming estate, the cottages are all different and sleep 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. Some are by the river and all have wonderful views and you can frequently see interesting wildlife near the cottages such as deer, osprey, red squirrels, whooper swans, otter, pine marten.
All cottages have woodburning stoves or open fire and all have TV and WIFI. Changeover days are Fridays and Saturdays, depending on the cottage, but short breaks are often available, particularly out of the main season.
There is a tennis court available and trout fishing on the river or from rowing boats on Dunalastair Loch, and other traditional sporting activities are sometimes available at certain times.
The cottage had lovely views and we enjoyed watching the many species of birds that came to the feeder. The enclosed garden was ideal for our 8 months old puppy as were the walks down to the loch direct from the cottage. The position well away from the road meant that it was lovely and quiet, The inside of the house was beautifully done up and the kitchen was roomy and well equipped. The bath with a view was quite something. A comfortable bed with good quality bedlinen added to the comfort.

We had a fantastic week, The cottage is exactly what it says on the tin.
There is everything you need at the cottage for your holiday and has a home from home feel about it. The area is absolutely stunning as is the cottages position at the end of Dunalister water. The fishing is also a huge plus to the holiday and we had some good catches.
We didn't want to leave and will most definitely be back next year
A truly lovely little spot...looks like it is out of a story book...our own little Gate lodge or foley...enough room for 8 of us and great that it is right next to the River Tummel...we loved the fireplace and the rooms were clean and homely...the kitchen is well stocked and big enough for a party of 8...we will be back.
Cosy & comfortable cottage with all amenities for a comfortable stay and beautifully appointed. Spacious enough for a family while maintaining its charm. We used the cottage as a base to explore several areas of Scotland and enjoyed the lovely scenic views both from the drives and cottage itself. Cannot wait to return.
This is our 4th time staying in West Drumchastle cottage at Dunalistair. The views of schehallion are spectacular from the cottage and it’s so peaceful.
You are able to get a fishing licence while staying there too.
The hosts really know how to give you a warm welcome with their little touches.
Booked again for next year.
We booked Rose Cottage as a last minute break to just get away for a rest after my mothers funeral. We know the area quite well but still found walks we hadn't done before. Several straight from the cottage .
The cottage was perfect for what we wanted in a lovely position, just 3 miles from the village where you can stock up on provisions from the local store which has a good range of products. Also there is The Corner Stone which is run by the community for great food, coffees etc.
The cottage is well equipped and Beatrice was a phone call away for any problems. The weather was pretty g...more
We have stayed on the Dunalastair Estate almost every year for the last 18 years and have stayed in the majority of cottages over this time but surprisingly this was only our second stay in Tuim Cottage. The first time we stayed was in 2009 and had a great week but had subsequently we ended up staying in the other cottages on the estate. By luck we ended up in Tuim cottage this year due to dates and availabilities and it was a wonderful outcome. The cottage itself is fabulous, set in an elevated location with access to walking straight from the front door, ideal if you have a dog. Inside, t...more
