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.
The perfect location for anyone wanting to get away from it all.
The cottage which has everything you could need - log burner, roll top bath, 4 poster bed and TV all in the one room with separate kitchen/diner and utility. Enclosed gardens which kept it safe for our 2 dogs, leading straight out into the woods made for lovely early morning and late afternoon walks.
Remote yet not too far away from a variety of places of interest - Glen Lyon, Aberfeldy, Pitlochry, Tummel - lots to see. Stunning scenery and the best of places to enjoy birds, squirrels and deer from the cottage window. Stunnin...more
The property is old and would benefit from some improvements. In particular, the windows and doors. This however, does not detract from the pure pleasure of the isolation and peacefulness this property delivered. We left on our final day feeling very sad that we wouldn't be awakening to the beautiful surroundings the following morning.
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.
Lovely cottage, the first cottage we have booked in years with good firm sofa and chairs plus fantastic large window with a great view.
Lots of birds including nuthatchs at the feeders and spotted woodpeckers on the dead tree.
The beds were extremely comfortable, the showers did not have alot of pressure but the water was hot.
The cottage had everything that was needed.
The dogs loved it, as they could have a gallop around the whole cottage.
The road was close, there was not alot of traffic but what there was, was at speed.
It’s all about the location. Many holiday lets are now very high end specification, East Lodge is comfy and characterful. Spend
the day by the river or out walking, with or without dogs, kick your boots and wellies off and curl up in front of of the fire. The kitchen has everything you need and a large dining table great for leisurely meals or card games.
We spent 2 weeks in this beautiful 19th century farm house with our doggie and enjoyed it so much, that it felt very hard to leave at the end of our holiday. The house is located ideally on a rise and away from the road with fantastic views towards the mountain Schiehallion, Dunalastair water and the tummel river valley. The house has a wonderful cosy feel to it and lets you feel at home immediately. We spent many evenings in the living room, enjoying the view outside and the warmth of the wood stove. The house has 2 stories with two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, living room, dini...more
We loved our time at West Drumchastle. It is a perfect location to get away from it all. The cottage is very cosy and well-equipped. There are lots of walking routes right from the door.
We had a nice stay at Rose Cottage for the second year in a row. Good facilities for the three of us, nice location. Beds are good. Already booked for next year.
A very lovely little house in the middle of no-where, surrounded by birds, bracken, wood and a beautiful view to the hills. We felt welcomed and loved the environment and the atmosphere. We would come back anytime.
