If you have room for dessert, you might want to try treats like the apple & plum crumble with vanilla ice cream, the lemon tart and orange sorbet, and the pastel de nata with red berry coulis and strawberry ice cream.

Ramble around Loch Rannoch

The Dunalastair is in the heart of Perthshire, with plenty of opportunities for exploring the surrounding countryside.
