Escape to mountains, sea and sky, simple rooms and lovely food. Walk, swim, read, write, nurture your soul

Read guest comments

Arrive via a 40-minute boat ride from Mallaig to a gloriously untamed peninsula off Scotland's north west coast. All around you are sublime sea views, invigorating walks and masses of nature. Spot whales, golden eagles, dolphins, seals, badgers, red deer – around 120 species live here.

You stay in a stone lodge gazing out to the Isle of Skye with armchairs for weather and wildlife watching, a mezzanine if you're travelling with kids and en suite shower rooms. Book all four rooms for a private escape. Wood panelling makes everything cosy in your bedroom and over in the restaurant hub, where Rebecca spoils you with hearty breakfasts, packed lunches and homemade, locally sourced suppers.

Come to walk, kayak, wild swim or sit and read as you revel in the vast, ever-changing skies. It's a two-hour hike to The Old Forge in Inverie, Britain's 'most remote mainland pub' – or ask Andrew to pick you up by boat after a pint or a meal.

Rebecca Rutherford & Andrew Brodie:

The sea is literally metres from your door - there is no option for a "room with a sea view" as the ocean is hard to miss at Doune!
"Such a special place, fantastic food, hospitality and out of the world scenery."
"It feels like we've become part of an extended family at Doune who enjoy wonderful food, great conversations and dramatic walks."
Doune sits on the edge of the middle of no where and with no road access, peace and quiet is a given!
The most remote pub on the UK mainland 6 miles along a beautiful single tracked road...and don't worry, we will pick you up after!

"a wonderful setting, tremendous hospitality, fantastic food, and comfortable rooms. Fabulous! We saw otters only 15 minutes walk away along the coast!"

"Doune absolutely lives up to its description. Arriving by boat at this incredible location is part of the thrill. Then there’s the food: we stayed for three nights and are not by any means a gregarious family so we wondered how sharing a meal round the table with the other visitors would be. In the event it turned out to be one of the highlights, with friendly conversation and any dietary requirements more than met without drawing attention to them. The food is carefully chosen and delicious with plenty of variety. Being fully catered down to the packed lunches means that you can concentrate on getting to know Knoydart (which is suitably rugged - bring good boots even for low level walking). Returning after a long walk in staggering countryside knowing that a lovingly prepared three course meal waits for you is a combination that's hard to beat. The use of the boat to take you out to other locations to walk or see the wildlife is a big bonus and is organised the night before round the table after dinner but you don’t have to walk as group once you’re there. Lots of effort is put into meeting the wishes of as many people as possible, with helpful suggestions when needed. Accommodation is clean and comfortable with good showers. The whole thing sounds a little unlikely but in reality it works brilliantly because the staff are absolutely committed to meeting your needs and creating a special experience for you."
