Dunalastair Hotel, Kinloch Rannoch

The Setting

The Dunalastair Hotel is located in the Heart of the Perthshire Highlands, in the picturesque village of Kinloch Rannoch. A peaceful, comfortable haven of Highland hospitality in an area of great natural beauty. The Dunalastair’s graceful character and elegance stand out on the attractive little village square.

The romanticism of the area and the care and attention lavished on guests makes Dunalastair a perfect and extremely popular venue for highland weddings. The stylish yet graceful country house has a relaxed informality and atmosphere of easy friendliness.

We want all our guests to feel as we do, the Dunalastair is a very special place.

The Four Seasons

The Dunalastair is a year round destination. In the Winter, the warmth of the hospitality, the cosy snugs, the log fires and the spectacular Winter scenes, amid an all enveloping stillness and serenity gives the whole place a special charm. In the Spring, the fresh shoots and the burgeoning Rhododendron and forest trees, the lambs and the returning life are better viewed here than almost anywhere. In the Summer, the area is magnificent, with the grandeur of the perfect peak of Schiehallion and the clear waters of Loch Rannoch and Loch Tummel, Queen Victoria’s favourite, the long Scottish Summer evenings and the purple heatherclad hills in August. In Autumn, the area is ablaze with the warm fire of gold, copper and bronze as the leaves put on a special display as they move towards their Winter sleep.

Walk or perhaps cycle through this area of untouched wilderness and natural unspoiled beauty and experience the ever changing light enhancing the purity of the sparkling waters in the lochs and tumbling streams and rivers. Totally relax in the peace and tranquility of this natural environment.

The Hotel and the Welcome

The hotel was built by soldiers returned from the tragic Battle of Culloden. It became a coaching inn in the 1780’s and was converted into a hotel in the late 19th century. It has since been host to royalty, gentry and guests from all over the world. Since 1989, the Edwards Family have combined attention to detail and loving care, to carefully restore the hotel, combining the grand character of the past with modern comforts and standards.

This will strike you immediately you enter the hotel, only surpassed by the 'immediate' greeting - the warmth of a roaring log fire in the stately entrance hall, and a welcome warmer than the 60 or so malt whiskies you can enjoy here. The wood paneling throughout most of the public areas and lounges, and the grand staircase with its imposing stained glass windows are just some of the outstanding features.

Fascinating artifacts and memorabilia abound and are a great talking point
