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!
It’s true what they say:
There really is no place on earth quite like the magnificent Scottish Highlands.
Sculpted by Ice Age glaciers millions of years ago and built upon ever since with roaring rivers, tranquil lochs and miles upon miles of rolling hills and valleys, the Highlands are a remarkable work of art the likes of which only Mother Nature herself could have created.
Whether it’s exhilarating white water rafting on the River Garry you’re after or a challenging hike to the summit of the mighty Schiehallion Mountain that’s guaranteed to test your limits, the Scottish Highlands are a veritable paradise for those with an unbridled passion for one-of-a-kind adventure vacations.
Not that every adventure has to be an adrenaline-charged, white-knuckle ride.
For every thrilling ride along the cycle trails surrounding our own Perthshire hotel, and for every exciting rush of a deer stalking tour, there’s the opportunity to experience something a little more peaceful.
All the major must-see attractions, breathtaking sights and top places to eat, sleep and play.
Scotland – A vast and majestic land where centuries of history, acres of awe-inspiring scenery and a never-ending list of world-renowned landmarks and monuments combine to guarantee the kind of visit you won’t experience anywhere else on earth.
With summer finally in full bloom, the very idea of a luxury Christmas break is likely to be the last thing on your mind.
After all, who could blame you?
Between the radiant sun glowing in a bright blue sky to the warm temperatures and the rich tapestry of colours at the most vivid and vibrant, we’re having our best summer in years, one that’s likely to make sure winter is as far from your thoughts as possible.
From exploring uncharted territory and conquering mighty mountains to tackling some of Scotland’s most magnificent golf courses, cycling routes and fishing spots, there’s no end to the adventures that await on your next visit to Highland Perthshire.
Yet let’s be honest, sometimes adventure is the last thing you need.
Perhaps it has something to do with the acres upon acres of lush, enchanted forests that seem to surround you no matter where you go, or maybe it’s all down to the myths and legends of valiant heroes and historic battles that once took place here. Whatever causes it, there’s really no denying one thing:
There’s a certain magical quality that permeates the air here in Highland Scotland.
There’s a reason they call Scotland one of the world’s most remarkable natural playgrounds.
Long, open roads gently weave their way through mile after mile of rich, green fields, flourishing forests filled with flora, fauna and native wildlife, and acres of still waters which glisten in the gentle glow of sun and moon like something straight out of a fairy tale.
From St. Andrews to Prestwick, Gullane and, naturally, the exceptional 18-hole course here in Pitlochry, you rarely have to go far in Scotland without discovering some of the finest golf courses in the world.
So it’s no wonder then that, over the years, the country has produced more than its fair share of the sport’s biggest heroes.
From the enchanting winter landscapes to the sun-kissed vistas that steal the hearts of visitors throughout the summer, Scotland serves as a haven for romantic getaways right the year round.
Yet when it comes to planning the perfect break for you and your beloved, you need a lot more than the norm. Sure, flowers, candle-lit dinners and cosy nights in might be fine for some, but for the two of you, romance means enjoying experiences that are a true reflection of your unique tastes and personalities.
Bright sun, blue skies, that unbridled sense of joy that lingers in the air, it can only mean one thing:
Summer is finally here, bringing it with it the perfect chance to head outdoors for that perfect getaway.
Yet let’s be honest, we all have our own ideas of what that perfect getaway actually entails.
