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 had a fantastic week, The cottage is exactly what it says on the tin.
There is everything you need at the cottage for your holiday and has a home from home feel about it. The area is absolutely stunning as is the cottages position at the end of Dunalister water. The fishing is also a huge plus to the holiday and we had some good catches.
We didn't want to leave and will most definitely be back next year
Cosy & comfortable cottage with all amenities for a comfortable stay and beautifully appointed. Spacious enough for a family while maintaining its charm. We used the cottage as a base to explore several areas of Scotland and enjoyed the lovely scenic views both from the drives and cottage itself. Cannot wait to return.
Another wonderful stay at East Lodge. Can't fault a thing, from the ease of booking, great information, warm welcome and the most beautiful place to stay. Surrounded by beautiful views and wildlife, this really is a place which provides magical memories! Ian tried his hand at fishing from the river bank this year and loved it with lots of fish caught and safely returned - think he now has a new hobby!! The bird feeders were as busy as ever with a vast array of visitors including my favourite woodpecker! We didn't see the pine marten this year but there were lots of voles, toads and bats around...more
The house is in a stunning location peaceful and quiet with views of the magical schiehallion from all bedrooms a magical sight to wake up to. We loved the comfy beds the peace the air which knocked us out for deep sleeps - a perfect place to strike out to various stunning walks with our dog and not have to go too far. It was great to catchup with friends and visit the Pitlochry festival theatre catch a great show. The people who run the cottage couldn’t be more helpful and lovely and we felt very welcome just what was needed and hope to be back next year Thanks all. Birds in the garden b...more
This is our 4th time staying in West Drumchastle cottage at Dunalistair. The views of schehallion are spectacular from the cottage and it’s so peaceful.
You are able to get a fishing licence while staying there too.
The hosts really know how to give you a warm welcome with their little touches.
Booked again for next year.
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.
Lost count of how many times we have stayed at Tuim, possibly 9/10 and in other cottages 4. Tuim is by far our favourite, we love the location with the view to Schiehallion from the kitchen and sun room. The location is great for the early dog walk and a late afternoon fish by the river after a days walking.
The cottage is simple but comfortable and cosy at any time of the year. The wild life that visits varies from red squirrels, pine martins, deer and all sorts of birds.
Beatrice makes the bookings and sorting out any queries really easy and the estate itself is wonderful for a run or walk...more
