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.
I have liked the Laundry on a few stays and other cottages on Dunalistair estate great walks and scenery but alas wont be back due to my age and health But will sing its phrases And have done in the past.
Beautiful views from every window. Nice and quiet. Wild life all around you. Inside the cottage was very nice had everything you needed. All set up for a nice cuppa and a biscuit when you arrived. Nice touch along with a courtesy call to check we had arrived and that everything was okay.
A stay at The Old Post Office offers an escape to a stunning location with many opportunities for walking, day trips and eating out. The view, directly over the loch to Schielhallion, is stunning in all weathers. Access to Rannonh Station and a trip to Corrour was a highlight, as were day trips to Pitlochry and local walks. The cottage is immaculate, and equipped to a high standard. Communications were easy and helpful. I would very much recommend.
East Lodge is a fabulous place in an even better location. We were happy to enjoy fishing, walking, bird spotting, all from the front door. Although Rannoch Moor seems remote there are fine food restaurants within a short drive, but that was the only reason for leaving this wonderful spot. Great Weather for May.
Bridge cottage is definitely a hidden gem . If you’re looking for peace and quiet, seclusion and absolutely stunning scenery, this is definitely the place to go.
The cottage is lovely and has everything thing you could possibly need, (except a non stick frying pan that is non stick!) my only moan . Not a complaint !
The bathroom is to die for , sat in that beautiful bath watching Red Squirrel playing in the trees outside was priceless. An early morning visit from a Pine Martin in the back garden was also a real treat , although Rhea ( the border terrier) was not to happy ! Needless to say s...more
Lovely quaint cottage in a rural part of Scotland. My brother was staying at Old Laundry Cottage at the same time and it was great to within walking distance from each other. Lovely walks amongst forest, old ruins and the Loch. Our cottage overlooked farmland and we were greeted with cows, calves, sheep, lambs and deer most days. A bird feeding station just outside the kitchen window kept us entertained with various finches, tits, robins and woodpeckers. A hardware store in Pitlochry sold the additional bird seed we needed to keep them coming! We were also lucky enough to have a red squi...more
If you don’t mind the Great British plumbing, this is a lovely cottage, fantastic beds and stove, great views and garden. The help was instantly available when needed, and everything was spotless.
This was the first time I stayed at Drumchastle Cottage, and the week went so fast. The views of Schiehallion and Lassintullich from the cottage are outstanding. The cottage is warm and cosy, with every modern need catered for. Wifi was fast and reliable. The kitchen is fully equipped. The evening were a delight, with the log burner being easy to light and providing ample heat.
The dogs thoroughly enjoyed working off excess energy in the large safe and fenced garden.
Altogether just an amazing comfortable cottage and I cannot wait to be back there at our next booking in June. I would defin...more
A wonderful stay in a comfy cottage in an amazing setting. Conservatory and outside seating thoughtfully arranged to maximise the sunshine and views. Bring food for the birds, they are very greedy but provide a great show. It was hard to leave!
Suggest bringing drinks in cans as glass disposal can be a problem, there is no public bottle bank between Rannock Station and the A9 and glass is understandably not collected by the Council as part of domestic recycling. A bottle bank at Kinlock Rannoch should be provided.
