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.
What a lovely holiday cottage!
The house itself, the view, the surroundings - we loved it. It is a quiet place.
The weather could have been better, so the bathtub was very welcome.
Our second stay at The Old Post House, and it was just as lovely as we remembered. A great little house in a great location - what a view!!! We were surrounded by nature - red squirrels and red deer, woodpeckers and birds of prey, plus the most beautiful calves in the field next door. The Dunalistair team were very helpful and welcoming. Hopefully we’ll make it a hat trick.
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.
Another wonderful stay at East Lodge. Can't fault a thing, from the ease of booking, great information, warm welcome and the most beautiful place to stay. Surrounded by beautiful views and wildlife, this really is a place which provides magical memories! Ian tried his hand at fishing from the river bank this year and loved it with lots of fish caught and safely returned - think he now has a new hobby!! The bird feeders were as busy as ever with a vast array of visitors including my favourite woodpecker! We didn't see the pine marten this year but there were lots of voles, toads and bats around...more
Superb location, very relaxing sitting in the garden enjoying the view and watching a wonderful variety of birds feeding literally only feet from where you sit.
Good walking direct from the house in and around the estate.
Good food and drinks available close by at the Corner Stone and Loch Rannoch Hotel.
An old property but comfortable. Well stocked galley kitchen. Some areas could do with updating such as the bathrooms, entrance porch and some of the doors. Bedrooms very comfortable. Lounge very comfortable. Dining room seemed to be missing something but I couldn't put my finger on it...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
Wonderful place to stay, very comfortable and roomy, lots of hiking, running, cycling and swimming in the area. Great tea rooms nearby. Resident red squirrel and abundance of wildlife to experience.
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
