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.

Highlights included 2 Osprey, juvenile Golden Eagle and a Pine Marten. We also enjo...more
Had a lovely week staying for the first time in the Old Postoffice. We've stayed for over ten years on the Dunalastair Estate, so I think that speaks for itself.
Loved just sitting outside with my cuppa watching the wildlife and the fantastic views.
My highlight is watching the jets doing their training heading down towards Rannoch Moor. Absolutely brilliant.
This place never fails to deliver. If you are after a secluded holiday away from the hustle and bustle of your working life and want total relaxation then this Cottage is for you. The views from the front of the cottage are breathtaking.
Dog friendly, which is a bonus for us.
We chose East Lodge for our New Year's Eve holiday and had a very nice time here.
The house, in a stunning location, is very cozy and perfectly equipped.
After every trip it was nice to come back to the house.
We'd love to come back.
Thank you very much for the warm welcome.
This is our 4th time staying at the Balmore and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely and very spacious and a bonus that it was enclosed as my wee old dog loved going out. We will definitely be back again
The location of the property is ideal and exactly what we were looking for,to get away for a short Easter break.
Instructions on how to get to the property were clear and concise although there is a somewhat bumpy track from the main road upto the property,which any vehicle with lower suspension
could find difficult.
Inside the property there was everything that was required,although some of the facilities were somewhat dated and compact such as the shower but all worked perfectly well.The kitchen contained everything that was required to cook meals,when we didn’t eat out.

A lovely place to spend a week getting away from it all. So peaceful and everything is catered very well for a comfortable stay. Waling up to views of Schehallion are very special.
Our family had a lovely Christmas at Rose Cottage. 2 adults and 3 kids (17/15/13) plus one well behaved dog. Toasty warm inside, we had snow a couple of days which was amazing given the lovely surroundings. Loads of logs in the log shed, internet worked well (for kids internet addiction). Great little cottage in summary, would recommend if you want to get away from everything/everyone! Lovely basket of local food and bubbly on arrival too - very nice touch.
Lovely wee cottage in a fantastic location. Great for watching wildlife from your window, Red Squirrels, Pine Martens and numerous birds. Lovely walk from the door down to the river, perfect for fishing. The views across to Schiehallion are beautiful.
A perfect location for exploring the area and there is an abundance of information about places to visit and local walks in the cottage.
The cottage is really well equipped, clean and cosy. We've stayed on two occasions and will definitely return.
