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.
As a regular visitor this was the first time we had stayed at The Old Laundry. The location is quiet and peaceful. The gardens large enough for our greyhound to race round at speed and the benches at the back sunny (THIS is not guaranteed) in the afternoon and evening. We would definitely stay at this one again.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Post Office. It’s in a fantastic, peaceful location with stunning views over the water. The fully fenced garden was a great bonus.
There’s plenty to do nearby—we tried archery in Kinloch Rannoch, ate at The Cornerstone (with a huge waterfall we didn’t expect!), and visited some very friendly local galleries with excellent art.
Highly recommended.
Amazing lovely stay myself and my partner been comming here for past 10 years twice with our little boy.Magical peaceful place always cozy and welcoming can't wait to come back next year again looking forward to it thanks to Beatrice and the team very kind and lovely.
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
Another charming cottage on this estate which we have been fortunate enough to experience. Cleanliness, condition and comfort have been our priorities and never been let down. Balmore Cottage had a tranquil ambience, with beautiful scenery around and the never ending birds at the feeders.
Another relaxing stay here, everything you need is provided and the location is stunning.
Ideal for the dog in a large secure garden.
Excellent and friendly customer service.
I would highly recommend Maragdubh and will be back.
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´ve been at the "Post Office" and "Balmore" before, so we knew that these cottages are wonderful, clean a very friendly staff.
Only the road to Dunalastair is at times a little challenging.....but that`s the price for remoteness. We love that place at least as much as our dog. So we need to check the other cottages within the next years. Thank you very much!
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
