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!
There’s so much to see and do in Scotland that you could literally spend weeks, if not months here, and still not have time to take in everything this fascinating and beautiful country has to offer.
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.
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.
Did you know that evidence of people living in Scotland pre-dates Britain’s recorded history by some 8,500 years?
In the thousands of years that followed, this ancient land has seen more than its fair share of epic battles and legendary tales, each one leaving their indelible imprint on the Scottish landscape.
While some may see the summer months as a chance to get outdoors and get active, we at Dunalastair Hotel Suites understand that action and adventure isn’t exactly everybody’s idea of the perfect summer holiday.
For many of our guests, summer is the first chance they’ve had all year to finally put their feet up and unwind, to reward themselves for getting through the long, hard slog of winter with the kind of five-star luxury break they truly deserve.
The days are a little warmer, the sun shines a little brighter, and after a long, dreary winter, those beautiful flowers are finally starting to bloom.
So it’s no wonder that springtime brings scores of people to Scotland, contributing to the 17% increase in annual visitors over the past few years.
Nor is it any wonder that this year, you’re planning to be among those heading to the Highlands to experience a Scottish springtime for yourself.
