Experience the epitome of luxury at our stunning Highland country house, nestled within 36 acres of breath‑taking countryside on the doorstep of Inverness - a place where peaceful retreats, romantic getaways, intimate Highland weddings, and soothing evenings in your private hot tub unfold.
A sanctuary for anyone yearning to pause, exhale, and remember what truly matters.
Perfect for big group getaways and family gatherings, The Doune sleeps up to 12 guests in complete privacy. Whether you’re celebrating, reconnecting, or retreating together, our Highland haven gives your whole group space to slow down and breathe.
The Doune rests on historic Highland ground, where old stone, soft light, and centuries of quiet have shaped a home with real soul. Every room carries a sense of story - warm, intimate, and timeless - inviting you to slow down, reconnect, and feel held by the beauty of this place.
Why Choose The Doune?
Private, peaceful, and exclusively yours
The Doune is exclusively yours - no shared spaces, no interruptions. Just you, your people, and the quiet embrace of the Highlands. The Doune is a private exclusive-use country house ideal for couples, families, and small groups seeking a peaceful luxury retreat near Inverness.
Nature at your doorstep
Wake to pond views, birdsong, and soft morning light. Wander garden paths, watch wildlife drift through the grounds, and feel the stillness settle around you. This is Highland tranquillity at its finest.
Perfect for Intimate Highland Weddings
Perfect for couples who want intimacy over spectacle. Cosy, elegant interiors and space for your closest 12 guests create a celebration that feels personal, warm, and deeply meaningful - a true Highland wedding venue for those seeking something special.
Relax in your private outdoor hot tub, exclusively yours throughout your stay. Set among peaceful Highland scenery, it’s a favourite spot for guests to unwind, recharge, and enjoy slow, quiet moments together.
The Magnificent Formal Pond
A signature feature of The Doune, the formal pond sits proudly at the front of the house — framed by the Four Seasons statues and elegant urns. It creates a sense of arrival that feels timeless and grand, as though you’re stepping into a private Highland estate with its own quiet rhythm.
What makes the pond truly special is how alive it is. Fish move gently beneath the surface, dragonflies skim the water in summer light, and on still mornings a heron sometimes stands at the edge - a rare, beautiful sight that guests never forget. The combination of sculpted elegance and natural wildlife gives the pond a unique, almost enchanted atmosphere.
Guests often find themselves returning to it throughout their stay — with a morning coffee, during a slow afternoon wander, or simply to pause and breathe in the stillness. It’s one of those places that stays with people long after they leave… a moment of calm, beauty, and connection that feels entirely their own.
