Discover a place where luxury feels natural, personal, and deeply peaceful. The Doune is a private Highland haven surrounded by woodland, water, and wildlife - a retreat shaped with care, history, and heart.
A lovingly restored Highland house, sensitively renewed in 2010 to blend its original character with modern comfort. Every room feels inviting and full of a quiet charm - a place to slow down, reconnect, and breathe.
From soaking in the private hot tub surrounded by peaceful Highland scenery to unwinding with a professional in‑house massage, every experience at The Doune is designed to help you relax deeply. Enjoy forest walks, river fishing, peaceful garden views, and plenty of space for children to play freely. You can discover more of the estate’s outdoor spaces on our Gardens page.
Your stay at The Doune grants you exclusive access to a 36‑acre Highland estate, where the hush of the landscape feels almost decadent and nature moves with gentle, unhurried rhythm. It is an escape of rare luxury - intimate, restorative, and exquisitely calm. For a closer look at the spaces where evenings unfold, visit our Lounge or Sitting room.
