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.
We had a wonderful week at The Old Laundry. It had everything that was required and more. The location was tranquil and relaxing. The office were extremely helpful in answering our queries. It was difficult to leave.
A wonderful and enchanting cottage in a beautiful location. The accommodations were wonderful and the hosts were very gracious and very accommodating. This is our second time with the host and our first time in this particular cottage. We love the area and we definitely will always recommend anyone in the area to stay with Dunalastair estates.
This is a very spacious , comfortable cottage but also cosy and warm.
Had a very enjoyable weeks stay here. Plenty of wildlife to see and fantastic views and surroundings.
Would definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family.
A super relaxing half term break. The communication from start to finish was excellent. Fire all prepared when we arrived and house lovely and warm with storage heaters. The location is super - there was a huge storm when we arrived that hit the west coast of Scotland which was amazing. The power cut lasted around 4 hours but with the open fire roaring it was no problem. The river to sit by right outside is fantastic to watch trout jumping and to see plenty of wildlife. Pitlochry is around a 30 minute drive away and has several gift shops etc. it’s a wonderful area and a great place to relax o...more
This was our first visit to Maragdubh. It is a very attractive, well maintained and furnished house with great views over to Schiehallion. The house was spotless and there was a much appreciated welcome tray waiting for us so we could have a cuppa on arrival. The house was a great base for walks nearby and there was lots of useful information there to help us. Beatrice, the manager could not have been more helpful.
As Maragdubh is out in the countryside the sky is really dark so it was wonderful to star gaze on clear nights.
We enjoyed watching the many birds that visited. If you like bird w...more
Nice cottage, with all comfort needed for a weeks stay. Big kitchen and sitting room with wood fire place. Shower could be more powerful and tall people could'nt stand upright under it.
I have been going to this area for a lot of years and have stayed in other Dunalastair cottages. They have all been nice and this one was no different.
Everything you needed for a quiet holiday. I can’t think of anything else that I would have needed. The heating, plumbing and electricity all worked well on my visit.
I was extra lucky as I had great sunny weather.
We had a wonderful break at Tuim Cottage. Perfect location, lots of wildlife, great views and a lovely little walk right outside the door. There were some really nice personal touches by the owners and the cottage had everything we needed. The enclosed garden was brilliant for the dog. Thank you, we will definitely be back.
