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 Old Laundry exceeded our expectations. Great advice when booking & popping round to make sure everything was OK. Even put a post under the gate to make sure dogs couldn't escape the garden. The cottage was much bigger than it looks on photo, clean & well equipped. The wildlife did not disappoint. We are not the type of people that return to holiday accommodation but we would on this occasion.
We had the most wonderful weeks stay at The Old Post Office! We loved the location, the views were stunning, and the cottage was super cosy and comfy. We were made to feel very welcome. The booking was super easy, we booked direct. The cottage was spacious, warm and so well equipped. We will definitely be booking again as everything worked so well for us. We stayed with our dog who also loved it!!
It remains wonderful to come “home” after so many times. The cottage is comfortable and cozy. Everything you could possibly need is there. The surroundings are breathtaking. Thanks to the whole team, we had another fantastic holiday.
Every year its different and every year we see new things do other stuff!! Mum, myself and our dogs already start looking foreward to next year when we drive off leaving after the week we were there. We're never bored its our home away from home exceot we listen to no radio or tv.(by choice as both are available in the cottage) We do have our own music, we read in the evening with the fire on in the sitting room. Talk as we lead busy lives after half a day we are totally relaxed two extreme happy dogs and once they are happy so are we! We walk a lot with our dogs, we do go to House of Bruar, t...more
We had a nice stay here, with a sprinkling of snow which was very pretty. It did feel quite chilly at times and appreciated the logs to keep the living room warm. Whilst we felt the cottage was comfortable on the whole, we did feel both bathrooms are overdue full renovations. We also struggled to get enough hot water for showers for the four of us, even splitting these over morning and evening and using the booster which wasn’t ideal. We loved the view though, which really was spectacular with Schiehallion covered in snow and the beds were super comfortable. Our wee dog enjoyed running around ...more
We normally have a week at Drumchastle, but this visit was two weeks and it just absolutely flew by. Before we knew it, our holiday was coming to an end.
The cottage is perfectly located just 1 mile from Rannoch village centre, and is accessed by a private short road from the main road, giving seclusion and privacy. With fragrant red roses rambling around the front door you could say Drumchastle is the dream cottage! From the front of the cottage there are stunning views over the Dunalastair estate, with Schiehallion providing the most perfect backdrop. I think Drumchastle possibly has the b...more
We had a lovely stay at the Rose cottage. We loved the walks in the woods nearby. One of the family pointed us towards 2 ospreys nesting in a tall tree. The cottage was well equipped and spacious. A wood stove kept us cosy on the 1 day the rain kept us in. There was lots of information provided which allowed us make the most of our stay. The amount of wildlife in the area was impressive
This has to be the best managed holiday cottage we have ever stayed in and we have stayed at quite a few in various parts of the country (UK). On arrival my wife was particularly impressed with the cleanliness throughout. The information provided was second to none and covered everything you could possibly need to know to get the best out of your stay. The cottage worked perfectly for us and our 2 dogs. It was comfortable and homely and I can't think of anything we would change. A Pine Martin or possibly more than one was a regular visitor to a feeder on a tree just outside the enclosed part o...more
