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.
Bridge Cottage has a superb location, very peaceful and excellent for wildlife spotting. The log fire ensures the cottage is very homely. All the facilities we needed were provided.
The staff at Dunalistair are very helpful. It was especially nice that some lights at the house had been left on for arrival - very useful and welcoming.
Thank you.
Yet again we had an amazing holiday at East Lodge on the Dunalastair estate. The weather was absolutely wonderful, not having to wear a coat all holiday.
Some of the items in the cottage have been updated, the couches, chair, fridge freezer and washing machine, all being top quality items and extremely comfortable couches.
We always find that everything you could possibly need is provided and the welcome touches are perfect. The cottage is extremely warm and very cosy with all of the comforts. The scenery and area are perfect, and we never run out of things to do, bit if you just want t...more
We had a great time staying at Balmore cottage. It was warm and welcoming, homely and very comfortable. The surrounding countryside was magnificent in its autumnal colours and we loved watching the different birds on the garden feeders. A truly relaxing few days. Shame we didn't have longer. Thank you
This was our first visit to Maragdubh. It is a very attractive, well maintained and furnished house with great views over to Schiehallion. The house was spotless and there was a much appreciated welcome tray waiting for us so we could have a cuppa on arrival. The house was a great base for walks nearby and there was lots of useful information there to help us. Beatrice, the manager could not have been more helpful.
As Maragdubh is out in the countryside the sky is really dark so it was wonderful to star gaze on clear nights.
We enjoyed watching the many birds that visited. If you like bird w...more
Beautiful wee cottage in Scottish glen. Really well equipped with extremely comfortable beds. Ideal location for short break, able to do as much or as little as you feel like.
Nice cottage, with all comfort needed for a weeks stay. Big kitchen and sitting room with wood fire place. Shower could be more powerful and tall people could'nt stand upright under it.
We had a wonderful break at Tuim Cottage. Perfect location, lots of wildlife, great views and a lovely little walk right outside the door. There were some really nice personal touches by the owners and the cottage had everything we needed. The enclosed garden was brilliant for the dog. Thank you, we will definitely be back.
