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 (except Bridge Cottage) 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.
Spent an enjoyable week at the Old Laundry on the Dunalastair Estate. The Old Laundry was lovely, bright and relaxing. Plenty of walks in and around the estate, watching Ospreys was a highlight! Plenty to see and do in the local area. Kinloch Rannoch, Rannoch Station, Blair Castle, The Black Woods of Rannoch and Pitlochry were all visited and enjoyed.
Lovely cottage, everything provided and so well looked after by the Estate. Swim in the lochs, climb up to the bothy on Schiehallion, cycle to Rannoch Station, climb the rocks near McGregor's cave, watch the wonderful array of garden birds come to the feeders. There is something for everyone in an undisturbed little heaven in Rannoch
You can’t wish for anything more it was fantastic. The location and wildlife unbelievable.
On arrival a tea set ready for use with lovely biscuits.
The fishing was not great with little activity but the weather was very hot.
The towel rail needs to be checked it was boiling hot quite a hazard but apart from that all equipment spot on. The view from the bath amazing.
Great stay
This is our 5th year and again u beatable, we had really gorgeous weather
We also have two dogs with us and they had the best time ever as always. It's brilliant if they come out of the car after 16 hours being up and travelling and they know exactly where they are!! Happy dogs happy humans......
The cottage is not really a cottage but a house,!! Gorgeous inside and out a better than real home away from home!! Although we want to keep it a secret, we have multiple people that are going to see if they can travelling over too!!
The wild live is so special two, the birdfeeder gives is...more
We have been to Balmore Cottage several times before and as always everything was perfect. Beatrice and the team are only a phone call away if help or advise is required. The setting and views are superb.
This was our first visit to Maragdubh but had been in other estate cottages. The customer service was as usual first class. The property is large and like other cottages has all the kit you would ever need. The views towards Schiehallion are stunning and the location private and dog secure. Lots of flora and fauna to observe both near and further afield. The perfect location for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Beatrice and her colleagues go the extra mile.
Just had the pleasure of staying at West Drumchastle this past week and it’s been a pleasure. From our arrival at the cottage, with the perfume filled air from the amazing roses and sweet peas cascading around the door, to the day we had to open the front door and say goodbye to the magnificent view of Schiehallion right in front of you, we loved every minute !! Thank you to all concerned so much for letting us share your wonderful cottage with you .
A truly special place to relax and immerse yourself in nature. Wonderful bird life, fabulous walks, amazing scenery and a cosy cottage to come back home to, what’s not to love. This was our fourth visit to the Dunalastair Estate and we will be back!
The cottage was lovely, location amazing. What a nice surprise having a fully equipped kitchen.
Only down side was need to change pillows and we bought some whilst there as very lumpy and uncomfortable.
Apart from that amazing week away.
