DEAR GUESTS & FRIENDS OF DUNALASTAIR,
The safety and wellbeing of our valued guests, our wonderful staff and our community here in Kinloch Rannoch continues to be our first priority. While we’ve always been meticulous when it comes to cleaning and housekeeping, we’ve introduced a number of additional measures, some of which you may notice, though most are very discrete. These have been carefully considered; primarily for your safety but also, importantly, to ensure your enjoyment isn’t in any way compromised.
Subtle changes you may notice:
We look forward to seeing you soon!
With its beautiful, snow-capped mountains, enchanting scenery and its famously warm hospitality, few places are better suited for the perfect winter getaway than Highland Scotland.
This is perhaps why millions of people head this way every year. According to Visit Scotland, tourist numbers rose by 11% to 12 million last year, with almost 50% of those visitors arriving in the chillier months.
Did you know that out of the millions of people who visit Scotland every year, 46% of them do so in the autumn and winter months?
While this may come as a surprise to anyone for whom a holiday is strictly a summertime event, for those of us who’ve experienced the captivating beauty of a Scottish winter up close and personal, it makes absolute sense that increasing numbers of visitors are flocking to the Highlands in the off-season.
It’s often said that Scotland’s weather is so wonderfully unpredictable that it’s entirely possible to experience all four seasons in a single day.
Of course, the wild, dramatic landscapes and ever-changing scenery are all part of the country’s charm, guaranteeing that no matter what time of year you visit, you’re always in for a truly unforgettable experience.
With Summer only just behind us, it may be hard to believe that Christmas is only just around the corner. Yet here we are already, approaching just three months before Old Saint Nick comes shuffling down the chimney to bring good tidings and joy to all.
So while it may not have been on your mind before now, if you’re planning on escaping the usual hustle and bustle of the festive season this year, then now is the perfect time to start making those all-important bookings.
Scotland may be better known for its haggis, shortbread, and good old neeps and tatties, but did you know the country is fast becoming a veritable hotbed for vegan food?
With some 350,000 Scots said to be eating a plant-based diet and a further 14% of those responding to a Vegan Society survey considering ditching meat and dairy in the future, it’s no wonder that we’ve seen a wealth of new stores, festivals and vegan restaurants in Scotland open up over the past few years.
Here at the five-star Dunalastair Hotel Suites in Highland Perthshire, we recently announced the launch of our own Flawlessly Vegan menu, offering a fresh, delicious array of plant-based options at our in-house restaurant, Monadh Dining.
