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.
We have stayed at The Old Laundry before and came back to stay for our honeymoon.
The location is stunning and the house has such an amazing feel to it, very spacious but cozy at the same time.
Lovely touch to have a tea tray ready for you when you arrive.
Highly recommend The Old Laundry if you want to stay somewhere unique.
Cosy autumnal stay in beautiful location. The cottage is well equipped but could do with some updating. We had a speedy response when we lost some power during Storm Amy. Thank you to Rose for this.
We enjoyed a wonderful short break at Bridge Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Perfect little touches and a warm welcome. Great walks nearby in stunning countryside. Perfect for the dogs. We shall certainly return.
We had yet another perfect, relaxing holiday at East Lodge and on the dunalastair estate. Apart from storm Amy the first night, the weather was beautiful . The cottage as always, was warm, very clean and cosy.
We had some fun family time , visiting loch Ness, enchanted forest, which was amazing, house of bruar, to shop and eat , Loch Morlich in Aviemore and Landmark in Aviemore. We always find so much to do in the area, and it is perfect for sightseeing.
We can't wait for our next visit.
Thank you to everyone on the dunalastair estate for making it the perfect place to stay.
The furnishings are simple but cosy. The kitchen is well equiped for prepairing meals. we enjoyed the wood-burning stove in the evenings and there was plenty of wood availabelto keep the fire going.
We had a fantastic week staying at Maragdubh! The communication prior to our arrival was great with plenty of really helpful information sent via email.
The cottage is cosy and warm, and really well equipped, we loved the toys and jigsaws and had everything we needed on the kitchen too. Secure garden was perfect for our dog.
The location was ideal for us, and we loved exploring the local area, with plenty of fantastic walks close by. We would happily stay here again!
This is the fourth time we have stayed in a Dunalistair cottage and this one didn’t disappoint.
When we arrived storm Amy had taken out the power luckily we have an EV 9 and with the help of an extension lead we powered the cottage. Rose kindly loaned there family cottage for showers and cooking.
The wood burning stove and a continuous supply of logs made the cottage very cosy.
Stanley our English Setter enjoyed the freedom to roam in the very secure garden.
We also loved waking up in the morning to the beautiful sunrises through the mist over Schiehallion
Your cottage was lovely But the shower needs a good look at it really don’t work as a shower as one would wish. Other than the shower every thing was lovely thank you
What a great cottage in an ideal location to explore Perthshire and beyond. The cottage was well equipped with everything that you need for a holiday, the free logs at this time of year is a bonus. The bird life in the garden during the day was a joy to be hold and the Pine Martin at night was even better.
