Very secluded cottage by the water with its own boat. It sleeps 4 in two bedrooms and the rooms look out to the water. There is no TV but there is a dvd player and there is no wifi either. In spite of this, it is our most popular cottage because of the peace and quiet and surrounding wildlife, and the fact you can use the boat at any time (weather permitting). The walk behind the cottage to Macgregor's Cave is a must-do.

Such a special place

Bridge cottage was our honeymoon cottage back in 2012, we've stayed often since then. It is our favourite place, the location is amazing the walks out the back, the boat, the burial grounds, the wildlife, the chanterelles, the quietness, the dark clear skies.
It's not too far from pitlochry for a day out or house of bruar for some treats.
We love it an we will always visit.

We had a wonderful time at Bridge Cottage. The house is very cosy and comfortable with a fantastic aspect. The use of a rowing boat was brilliant - we don't fish but had some lovely paddles around Dunalastair water in the sunshine (we were very lucky with the weather!). The wildlife at the cottage were amazing, seeing pine martens was incredible for us and there was a huge variety of birds. The peace of the place was like nowhere we have stayed before and we were very sad to leave. Thank you Dunalastair!

A great place to stay for the week - the year before we had stayed at East Lodge with family and Bridge Cottage was perfect for x 2 of us and a dog this year. The most amazing view, a comfy bed , great bathroom and wood burning stove and everything else as described. So peaceful and a great escape back to nature, fishing, numerous walks and relaxing. So amazing and we love the area, that we have just booked again for next year.

If you love being away from everywhere in a fantastically dramatic setting with water, woodland, animals and birds on your doorstep, this is the cottage for you! A boat to take out on Dunalastair water and a footpath with stunning views heading up from the house. It's very hard to describe how wonderful it is, if you haven't been!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful, remote part of the world. Great for walking straight from the cottage, wonderful views, and remember to take a lot of bird food for a huge variety of birds that fly right up to the feeder outside the lounge.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery this cottage provided a cosy welcome when we returned from walks and other outings. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed sitting in front of the log burner one cool evening. A bath while watching the bats, at twilight, as they flew through the trees was magical, as was seeing red squirrels, swans and buzzards. Fantastic views everywhere. The dog loved his surroundings too. We loved also the sheltered bench at the front door.
We have stayed on another cottage on the estate and on both occasions have found everyone involved in the organisation both pleasant and efficient. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. As with our last stay we returned home feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. A special thanks to Beatrice for returning an item, we left by mistake, to us. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit Dunalastair Cottages again.

Wow! We have had the most peaceful and relaxing week at Bridge Cottage. A beautiful Dorma nestled in a wildlife haven.

The sound of silence only broken by the call of the abundance of birds and the Roe Deer calling his troop. The dark night sky only broken by the twinkling of stars. There is no sound nor light pollution.

The cottage is VERY CLEAR within the description that there is no wi-if nor tv signal. We chose the cottage because of this. Our evenings were passed with box set DVDs we we took with us. There is a selection also available in the cottage. There is also a CD player, which I don’t remember reading in the description, so if f you want to enhance the morning breakfast ritual you can take your ie. cd.

We spent little time actually inside the cottage as the surrounding grounds provided their own super high definition pictures and sounds. The picnic bench at the front of the cottage is the perfect place for breakfast and dinner / the weather was on our side.

Remember to take bug spray and tick removers as the bug game is real! We picked ticks off the dogs each day as they were free to explore all that Scotland had to offer, and they loved sniffing around in the bracken.

We pre made all our evening meals and took them up frozen. They were a welcome hearty meal after a day climbing hills and exploring the areas around.

If you want to totally wind down - with or with out your fur-friends I can highly recommend Bridge Cottage. Yes, it is extremely remote, amenities are few and far between and you have to drive some distance to explore…. But, we loved it for all of that.

The Riverbank Cafe in Kinloch Rannoch provides the most amazing home cooked food and cakes. Closed Monday and Tuesdays but make sure you visit if you head out that way.

Also, keep a full tank of fuel, and prepare for breathtaking views on all of your travels.

Until next time Bridge Cottage. X

Wonderful place. Well managed by nice people, it really doesn't get any better if you fancy a quiet place to stay in an idyllic location.
I've been here 24 times now and many others are frequent visitors, so that speaks volumes.
Plus....look out for some wee clips from The Dunalastair Blues Band appearing on YouTube in the coming weeks.......but don't have high expectations! It's just a bit of fun.

The location of Bridge Cottage is second to none. Right on the bonny banks of Dunalistair water. Miles from everyone which means no noisy neighbours. Plenty of undisturbed walking, fishing and wild life. The house was in perfect order, clean and well equipped. Fantastic outlook from all windows and beautiful sunsets across the water.
With Kinloch Rannoch a wee drive away and loads of places to see this little gem is a must.
We have stayed in Tuim Cottage on the Estate and this is a beautiful property as well but Bridge Cottage is just medicine for a get away from it all holiday.

We had an excellent stay at the Bridge Cottage. An interesting fact, that I didn’t realise until we got there, was that it is actually next to a very old bridge, which doesn’t exist anymore, but you can see the remains. The cottage has got pretty much everything you want in a cottage (plus more) and that too at this remote location. Beatrice, who runs the estate, was very welcoming and helpful. There is no WiFi or TV and the network is low (everything as advertised) and we decided to go because of it (not inspite of it). We truly disconnected from our phones (all time low on screen time!), got time to relax and enjoy this amazing cottage and its surroundings. You can see quite a bit of wildlife and birds around and that in itself is a treat. The rooms are nice and big and the bathroom is very modern, overlooking the lake. I couldn’t think of any negatives, but if I had to, I would say that because of its (terrific) location (at the junction of a river and a lake, with hills around) it creates like a wind trap, so can be windier than normal. But that won’t nearly be enough from us wanting to go there back again. If you get a chance to book it, consider yourself lucky and just go for it….

Thank you for your lovely review of Bridge Cottage. I am pleased that you managed to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of not being connected to the outside world. You are indeed correct too that it seems to be much windier there due to the wind funnelling down the water, but as you say this does not deter folks from returning time and time again. We do hope to see you return.

Wow Wow Wow absolutely beautiful

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 she was kept inside until the little guy moved on.
The best holiday I’ve had in years and would love to return in the near future armed with cds and dvds!

This is one of the best holiday cottages ever! The location is exceptional, down a well maintained dead end track to a secluded cottage overlooking Dunalistair Water - and beside the River Tummel. You have to pinch yourself!! The view out the front is equalled by the view into the woods behind the cottage. Opening the back door in the morning you are met with a cacophony of bird song - amazing. The walks from the cottage are great. We spent a number of days fishing on the river bank below the cottage and took the boat out one evening as well. The team at Dunalistair were really helpful, both before the booking and during our stay. Simply excellent.

Sorry to hear that Bridge Cottage did not meet with your expectations however we do state clearly on our website that this cottage does not have Wifi or TV reception. All of our other cottages have Wifi and TV. Bridge Cottage is one our most popular cottages, the attraction is the location with most of our guests returning year on year wanting to get away from it all. A lot of people who come to this area of Perthshire do use it as a base to explore the wider area. Dunalastair Water is man made and the river runs through it so there is quite a current and therefore can be dangerous, especially in front of Bridge Cottage where it begins to channel down towards the Hydro Electric Dam a little further downstream. It is possible to swim further up from the cottage and perhaps staying close to the edge avoiding the current.

Amazing romantic get away holiday

Stunning cottage in stunning location. We have been staying at Dunalastair Estate for over 25 yrs, surely that speaks for itself.
Whilst the rest of the UK hiked up their prices Dunalastair didn't.
We have NEVER had to complain about cleaning.
The booking procedure is simple and efficient, and there aren't any hidden costs or nasty surprises.
I would say that the worst thing with Bridge Cottage is trying to book it. It is so popular that it is usually fully booked well in advance. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Another wonderful week up in Scotland.
Bridge Cottage is a amazing hideaway that never fails to recharge your batteries. The improvements in the bathroom are fantastic.
Brilliant weather all week and waking up to sheep and lambs at your front door is surreal.
Thanks to Beatrice and her team , who keep the cottages in tip top condition.
See you next Easter, when the adventures start again.

Our third visit to Dunalastair Estate, but our first time in Bridge Cottage. Having spied it across the river looking idyllic on a previous visit, we had to try it out! A haven of tranquillity and peace. Well, except for when it is windy! We could not have been more relaxed. The new bathroom is a stunning addition and affords the most luxurious bath experience you can imagine. We weren't so fortunate with wildlife spotting as other visitors seem to have been, however, suspect this was due to the presence of our nutty spaniel so most species kept a safe distance. If you want a truly chilled break then Bridge Cottage is the place.

We had the most relaxing week in a stunning location!
It truly is idyllic, and although blessed with the weather, I don't think it would have mattered whatever the weather...we simply loved it at Bridge Cottage. Poppy the dog did too.
We went out on the water in the boat which was lovely, and watching the birds feeding from the window was a delight.
A real gem of a place.

We have just returned from a late November week at Bridge Cottage. It is a lovely place for a break, totally private and right on the edge of the loch and stream with large bay windows looking out across the water. Really everything we needed was provided with a good selection of dvds. Tesco's delivery found us. Whilst there is no Wi-Fi and the mobile reception was only up to texts most of the time, I did discover that walking up the hill behind the cottage gave a 4G signal. There was infinite hot water and the wood burner had a shedload of wood. The storage heaters didn't cover the stairs and the bathroom was under-heated. We had temperatures of down to minus 1or 2C but it would have been too cold for us in deep winter. A large selection of birds visited and loved fat balls.
We will certainly look to rebook !

What a lovely holiday we had at Bridge cottage, it’s in a lovely location, with everything you could need. Lovely log burner with plenty of logs for those chilly nights. A boat is moored to a jetty, just a 2 minute walk away, you can row across from the cottage and look for the old ruins of Dunalastair house. Look for the dragonflies around the boat, there are lots of different coloured ones. You have a lovely walk to macregors cave, right behind the cottage, and you also get a peak of the old ruins across the way. You do see a few walkers passing the cottage to do this walk but not many. Nice wooded area behind the house. Wildlife very good, red squirrel, Jay, ospreys, eagles and deer were all seen. I caught a sighting of the otter on my trail cam from behind the cottage, near the river. Lots of garden birds, take some seed to top up the feeders. We visited the Rannoch station tea room, you can drive around loch Rannoch, so you see both sides. You need to book a table though. Aberfeldy is a lovely visit and the shop at Kinloch Rannoch is very good, quite well stocked. Beatrice was very helpful with any queries. Nice to have some tea, coffee and milk available and Amber appreciated her bonio. My only suggestion, would be a dedicated squirrel feeder, to encourage more visits to the cottage. Thank you for letting us stay.

So nice to hear you enjoyed your recent stay in Bridge Cottage here on Dunalastair. Sounds like the wildlife put on a good show for you. We have put in squirrel feeders at some of the other cottages so we will certainly look at it.

If you are thinking of staying here do not hesitate! It is the most beautiful cottage and in a fabulous place. Remote enough to feel entirely on your own but Aberfeldy and Pitlochry are not too far a drive if you want to have a look around a few shops and a change of scene. Dinner recommendation, the Old Mill on Pitlochry, fantastic!!
We loved the rowing boat and went out most days, we had a mix of weather but made the most of it all. Lovely walk up beisde the cottage which takes you to McGregor's cave. On the way you have to walk down into a burn and up the other side which is a bit steep but brilliant! There are lots of shimmering rocks which make it feel really special, the kids loved it! The cottage itself is cosy and very well equipped.
I stayed here 21 years ago with my mother, father and brother. It was a pleasure to be able to take my own yound family back and it was just as amazing as I remember.

My 21st visit to Bridge Cottage and as usual, it was superb. First time I've been in the height of summer and it is noticeably different to the autumn experience.
Excellent customer service from Beatrice, something we've become very used to over the years and it was good to meet Jim when he came (very promptly) to fix a minor issue. Good craic with him.
Word of warning - you don't want to be late departing as the cleaners won't be best pleased, if the look I got when they had to pull in to let me past at 10.10 was anything to go by......apologies guys, my fault and I'll try to do better in September!

Great to hear that you enjoyed your additional summer visit to Bridge Cottage. The cleaners try to arrive promptly to get everything done on time, think it was a bit of a fright meeting on the single track down where they had to reverse to allow safe passing. See you in the Autumn.

If you want the excitement of night life, social gathering, noise, shopping, hustle and bustle....then please do not book this Cottage, leave it for those who want the complete and utter opposite!
If you love views, walking, cycling, lochs, mountains, vast open moorland and are prepared to don waterproofs at any moment and want to switch of from your world at home withing half an hour of arriving then this is idyllic.
What a wonderful place to stay.

The location of Bridge Cottage is every bit as good as it looks on the website. The scenery is breathtaking for miles around and the cottage is a little piece of tranquility, far away from the madding crowd. The cottage itself is well equipped, with everything you could think of needing on holiday. Beatrice from Dunalastair Estate was extremely helpful on the day of our arrival, which we appreciated and was a nice touch. We’ll definitely be back.

I am a regular visitor to Dunalastair Estate. My friends and I have enjoyed the facilities and fantastic surroundings for twenty years now - every year - so that in itself speaks volumes.
Importantly, in my opinion, the estate management are lovely people to deal with. They honestly couldn't be more helpful and I greatly appreciate that.
If I'm spared, I'll be back next year as usual and I'm looking forward to it already.

A wonderful stay at Bridge Cottage, excellent location in the middle of nowhere. The cottage had everything you`d expect and more, the log burner was an added bonus. The kitchen was well equipped with added extras. Stunning views and scenery, great walks and the cafe in the village was excellent, well worth a visit. Just could do with a little updating but this didn`t put us off from visiting again.

We stayed at Bridge cottage for a week I we half term , it is in a stunning setting , the only way I can describe it without pictures is that it is like being in a painting ! The views ,walks and wildlife around are amazing . The cottage itself is well equipped with what you will need . There is no central heating which didn't bother me but may some people . There are heaters on the walls that warm the place up and a log burner !! There is nothing around so you need to take all food etc with you unless you are willing to drive to shops . You can get Asda or Tesco delivery thou . We liked the fact that it was out the way . You can definitely get away from it all . Worth the drive for the views , tranquility and great walks ! We hope to be back !

Open your eyes and look around. It's the most magical place.

Bridge Cottage is the perfect place to get away from everyday hustle and Bustle....you can't help but relax! With the Cottage being at the end of a track with no way through it means the only other people you may come across are the walkers who may be venturing to Macgregors cave. It may be an old cottage but the heating ensures it's cozy inside all the time and it's well equipped so that all you need is food and a few dvds (no TV signal) to ensure a relaxing time (we didn't even have to go out food shopping as Tesco delivered!) We took our 2 dogs who loved watching all the wildlife throughout the day and the walks that can be taken directly from the cottage. They even enjoyed a boat ride across the Loch to find the old Dunalastair house ruins.

Thank you for your review of your recent visit to Bridge Cottage. We do state in our description how the bathroom is laid out and much as we would like to incorporate a separate shower cubicle the layout of pipework makes this difficult but we will investigate further and see if something can be done in the future.

Uncomfortable bathing facilities and poor river access for fishing.

While the environment was quite picturesque, the bathing facilities were quite unacceptable if you are over 60 or over-weight, it was miserable to consider bathing.

As for fishing, that was also incorrectly advertised as access beyond Bridge Cottage to the river was not possible and trying to row a boat and also fish was not possible.

We where also without bathing and toilet facilities on Sunday night.

Thank you for reviewing Bridge Cottage. I was disappointed that you found nothing to your liking. The large deep cast iron bath is much loved by other guests. Unfortunately it is not possible to put a shower in the cottage as there is no space for it and we do not advertise it as having a shower. The fishing permit covers the boat fishing on the loch and the north bank of the river from Kinloch Rannoch almost to the Bridge at Tummel Bridge and there are many places along there that you can fish from the bank. Many of our visitors fish from the boat with no difficulty and I am sorry that you did not try that as you may have found it quite easy. As regards the water problem on Sunday night, we have had a three months drought and unfortunately the spring dried up (as you know the cottage is on private water supply). However as soon as you rang to let me know, I despatched a plumber immediately and the manager who brought you 20 litres of water to tied you over until morning. The plumber fixed up a temporary supply until the morning, when you were able to have a bath, and he fixed it more permanently in the morning putting a second pipe up to another stream. The manager visited you in the morning and sadly you were not very nice to her which was a shame when we had all done our very best to put the water problem right as soon as we could. I feel that a remote cottage was probably not really the kind of property you were suited to. It is actually our most popular cottage and is already well booked for next year. Anyway, I am sorry you did not enjoy your holiday and hope that you find somewhere more suitable for future holidays.

A hidden Perthshire Gem.

Though tucked away down a single track road, Bridge Cottage on arrival let's you know you are going to enjoy your stay there. Quiet, Rural, away from the humdrum of everyday life where you can chill out and feel a peaceful presence. All around you the wild life abounds and if you wish, you can take to the Dunalister Water in your very own boat.

Bridge cottage was clean comfortable and very well equipped. It is in a beautiful peaceful secluded location. Whilst there we saw red squirrels in the garden and otters and deer nearby The stretch of river between the cottage and the dam is very pretty and we spotted a beaver whilst using the rowing boat provided I would recommend bridge cottage to anyone wanting a peaceful week away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at bridge cottage it had all the equipment you need although we didnt need to use dishwasher or dryer. You could never tire of the view and the cottage was lovely. And the bed so comfortable. If we go back in the summer i would take an umberella for picnic table as it was extremley hot that week (prob wont get weather like that again tho!) I loved the peace and quiet and watching the wildlife, my husband was fishing a few days but quite diff loch with current. The tea rooms at rannoch station was a highlight of our trip. We also walked up scheallion, very rocky at top. All in all a great holiday and would go back. Thanks to staff concerned. The cottage was lovely and clean and was nice to meet beatrice the manager.

Excellent Location. Beautiful nature. Lovely place to stay.
Booking is easy, the manager is very friendly and visit you the first day to welcome you.
We have enjoyed the silence of the surroundings. No TV, internet, what a joy.
A seperate showercabin would be nice. Not easy to shower in the bath (for the elderly)
The sofa in the livingroom is not very comfy (to old).
But the location is so good, we will book again sometime.

Lovely to hear you enjoyed your recent visit to Bridge Cottage. Having no TV and WiFi makes Bridge a unique property to stay in and many enjoy the lack of communication to the outside world. The layout in the bathroom makes it difficult to accommodate a separate shower however we will look at this again to see if anything can be done. Look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Our stay at Bridge Cottage was very pleasant. We have stayed a number of times before and always have a good time. The location is perfect, wide views across the loch, very quiet and loads of wildlife. The availability of a boat and the opportunity to fish keep me occupied for hours. The cottage is well furnished and the log burner is great on the colder nights. All in all a great spot.

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Bridge Cottage and frankly you’d need professional help if you didn’t. Arrived in total darkness so opening the curtains the first morning leaves you speechless because the views are simply stunning.

The location on the river and the reservoir is incredible, gives you a sense you are the only people on the planet as the cottage is totally secluded. The cottage itself has everything you need and we were impressed, very much so, by the cleanliness and levels of equipment including dishwasher, washing machine and separate tumble dryer which if you are going to take advantage of the location are very welcome.

From the booking process to supply of ordered items such as firewood and information supplied, I was more than satisfied.

Fantastic value for money.

Not a criticism but I would advise that if arriving in darkness (quite possible in winter) do NOT allow you dog to wonder freely and don’t do so yourself either until you have explored in daylight. To the side of the cottage the natural garden is undulating and slopes drop off to 3m drops into deep river water, it would be very easy to go in if you don’t realise what’s there. The website does state this is absolutely not a suitable cottage to take young children and I certainly agree. Great for dogs but let them explore in daylight first.

The area is stunning, so much to see and explore. Just endless superlatives here. We will be going back...again and again!

Thank you for your lovely review and very happy to hear that Bridge Cottage is your new favourite place, it is a very special and a unique place to so many of our guests. We take on board your comments regarding dogs and exploration in the winter evenings, we do leave the outside light on for the darker night arrivals although it may not shine far enough the for more inquisitive dogs. Look forward to seeing you again the future.

The bridge cottage is equipped with the things you need, its very clean and so peaceful and relaxing,it's location for us was almost perfect it won't be to everyones taste as it is so secluded and private,the view out of the front windows changed every time you looked it. With the different shades of blue,grey and greens, and due to its location the amount of wildlife you see is unreal,

This was one of the most beautiful locations we've ever encountered, and the cottage itself was just perfect for our 9 days stay. Manager of the estate Beatrice created a warm welcome and directions to the cottage were excellent - they needed to be because it is out of the way somewhat. Our opinion is that if you want a break from the crazy outside world, where the scenery is breathtaking, the wildlife plentiful, and the solitude healing, then the Bridge Cottage is your destination.

Everything excellent apart from the shower. Only take baths if you go here as shower is only a hand one and not meant for using as a proper shower as it covers the bathroom with water and takes ages clearing up.

This is the only gripe as cottage lovely, remote and very comfy and also has the added advantage of own boat for sole use of Bridge Cottage guests.

Great for dogs too as easy walk along lane to cottage beside loch - no traffic of course.

Bridge Cottage is one of the most relaxing places I have ever stayed. The cottage is secluded, through a gate at the end of a long driveway which runs along the shore of Dunalastair Loch. Beautiful views down the Loch from the front of the cottage, the river runs past the side of the cottage with a small woodland at the back. At the other side of the cottage, there is a path which leads to McGregors Cave, a nice short walk. The property is clean, comfortable and relaxing and the wood burner fantastic for a cosy night in. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might require including a washer and dryer. Beds are comfortable and warm with extra blankets for colder nights. If you are looking to get away from it all, for peace and tranquility and/or love wildlife, this is definitely the cottage for you. The only noise you will hear, is the sounds of nature. There is no light pollution, so on a clear night, stargazing is a must. There are red squirrels playing in the woodland at the back door of the cottage, otters in the river at the side of the cottage, deer roaming on the land within the gate of the cottage, fish jumping out of the water, buzzards and kestrels flying overhead, smaller birds on the bird feeder at the front window, owls and bats in the evening and if you are up early enough, or go for a walk in the evening you will see the mountain hares. There is no TV (bliss) and limited mobile signal (even more bliss), although if you really need it, a short walk along the drive towards the gate will give you full signal. The village of Kinloch Rannoch is about a mile down the road and has a store if you need supplies There is a lovely cafe with good food and fresh home baked cakes which also sells beautiful handmade gifts, books and cards, there is a gallery and the Dunalastair Hotel in the village square which serves food. There are many nice gentle walks in the area, both hill and forest, but if you are looking for something a little more energetic, there is a Munro, the Schiehallion, which is five minutes drive from the cottage. A relatively easy climb most of the way, but a proper scramble at the top which is completely covered in boulders. Unfortunately we were surrounded by cloud at the top, so no views....pick a good clear day. There is a rowing boat provided at the cottage if you want to fish or just go for a paddle around the Loch or down the river. We take our own kayaks so have never actually used the boat, but it's there for you to use if you want. This was our third year staying at bridge cottage and still remains at the top of our list of best holiday cottages. If you just want to get away from it all, this cottage is the place to be.

Bridge Cottage is secluded without being too remote, and wonderfully peaceful. The cottage is warm, comfortable and well-provisioned, and has a large front window where you can lose hours just watching the weather and the light change across Dunalastair Water and the surrounding hills. The artlessly natural garden is full of birds and red squirrels (make sure you bring food for the feeders with you to avoid being guilt-tripped by the chaffinch who checks them hourly, and can't quite believe it if they're empty!), and we spent hours just sitting in the garden watching them.

Taking out the rowing boat was excellent fun, although it turned out to be a mistake to try to row up the loch against the wind. It's much easier to go from side to side. Our labrador proved not to be a keen sailor - she preferred to splash about on the little beach by the jetty. One's own personal loch must be a labrador's idea of the perfect holiday.

Walking in the area is very good, especially around Rannoch Station. We also did lots of forest walks (Carie, Allean) on warmer days because the dog gets too hot out in the sun, and the shady birch and Scots pine paths are better for her. Don't forget the midge spray though.

Aberfeldy is a pleasant little town, with nice tearooms, shops and an excellent delicatessen that does ready meals if you don't feel like cooking. It's also quiet, in keeping with the peaceful solitude around Dunalastair and Rannoch. In comparison, the crowds in Pitlochry were a bit of a shock, although the sense that there were crowds was a very relative one that only served to emphasise how quiet the forests and hills once you head away from the A9 corridor.

We certainly hope to return to Bridge Cottage to do all the things we didn't quite get around to this time.

Another 2 weeks spent in the peaceful surroundings of Bridge Cottage. We had a very pleasant stay. Managed to catch a fish on the loch, after many failed attempts. Wildlife plentiful, Roe deer in the garden and lots of birds. We will be returning next year to this very special place.

This was our first time booking one of the cottages on Dunalistair Estate. The really positive reviews and being booked well in advance peaked our interest. We seemed to have all four seasons in the four days but this just made the landscape all the more dramatic.

Inside, with a log fire burning, we enjoyed the comfort of such a beautiful cottage. There is a lot to be said about not being able to access wifi or your phone. With the distractions of social media out the way you bring to take notice of the beauty of simplicity and the wonder of nature.

We were there for 4 days but plan 7 next time!
