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.
We had a fantastic time here, the weather was mixed for first few days but turned out gorgeous.
The surrounding area is full of great places to see and plenty activities to get involved with from watching wildlife, fishing, hillwalking, canoeing or sailing to name just a few.
There is numerous eateries close by if you wish to eat out and good provisions of fresh food if you want to cook your own food.
The wildlife at lodge is great with pine martins visiting the bird feeders, numerous small tits to woodpeckers eating, wild deer in the woods outside the window, frogs or toads (unsure...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
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
