Welcome to our Duncrub Holidays Blog

Welcome to Duncrub Holiday’s first ever Blog. When we started self catering (we think it was 1974) the Internet and a web site was just make believe. Our first website was in 1995 and our current one is our third. What a mound of information we can provide visitors now!

Both the Chapel House and the Tower House have wireless internet access which makes it even easier to access all the information you need on holiday. We wondered if our 19th century chapel would be able to accommodate such technology, but it's there and working.

We provide as much flexibility on booking dates as far as possible a completely flexible approach to length of stay and date of arrival and departure. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our service and get some great ideas from guests so please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

We offer a 10% discount on a second week booked and a 10% discount on a return visit in the same year. We will be using our Blog to bring you samples of great value for money breaks available to book. At any time you can check availability, prices or book. Select either the Chapel House or the Tower House, click the "availability and booking" button and follow the instructions. Our 2010 prices can be seen now, or call us on 01764 684100

The Chapel House, opened in 1994, sleeps 4 (though we do have a folding bed for an extra person) and it is perfect for family holidays, short breaks, business trips, visiting friends and relatives, bringing your dog, and the downstairs en suite bedroom has been occupied several times by wheelchair users. The dining room doors open on to the patio and enclosed garden and there are only a few steps to the West door to the nave of the chapel where guests can unwind at the end of a day out, or stay-at-home day, playing table tennis or badminton. The sitting room make over, undertaken last winter, has been very well received by all our regular guests.

In the Tower House, opened in 1998, we replaced the bedroom ceiling and new cherubs adorn the blue skies and clouds above the bed. Technology has moved on so much we do not need some of the clutter in the sitting room area so we plan a few changes there over the next few months. No dogs accepted in Tower House – it just wouldn’t be suitable. The stone spiral staircase leading from the ground floor to the first floor causes a few initial gasps, but it does not take long to get used to them. The ultimate romantic break for 2.

Scotland is full of surprises and experience tells us that visitors to Scotland love the hues and tones of the heather-clad hills, the light evenings in the summer months, and wonderful autumn colours. In the off-season Scotland’s scenery can be particularly rewarding.

With everything to offer from a ceilidh to a classical concert, gardens to grand castles, golf courses, whisky distilleries, restaurants and much, much more……..Duncrub Holiday homes offer an ideal setting from which to explore Scotland’s glorious scenery, history and culture together with a very warm welcome.
