This review is a little late.. as I thought I had done this a while ago.. Me and my husband had the pleasure of dining at doune in 2021. From start to finish the experience was incredible. Andrew, Rebecca and bob were so warm and friendly. We had a lovely walk down to their beautiful place, a three course meal with drinks.. it was stunning! Everything was beautifully prepared and cooked with love.. Sometimes we talk about this place fondly, it really was one of the most if not the most magical dining experience we have ever had.. thankyou Hope to return one day Steph & Ryan (Your first customers) X

From boarding the boat at Mallaig the adventure begins!! Nothing was too much trouble for Andrew and Rebecca. Lovely home cooked food and packed lunches, comfortable accommodation, and even picked up from the pub in Inverie by boat.

Amazing personalised service to give us the best holiday possible in spectacular scenery. Nothing was too much trouble - even a dawn lift up a sea loch, with breakfast served on the boat, so we could climb a remote Munroe while the weather allowed.

Having travelled extensive and stayed in amazing places I can honestly say that Doune Knoydart is up there with one of the very best travel experiences ever. It is a really special place thanks in no small part to the attention to detail that Andrew and Rebecca apply to every aspect. From the personal boat transfers on Gripper (mark 2) with seals, dolphins and even Minke whale spotting, to the locally sourced and expertly prepared meals that Rebecca churns out, including packed lunches with fresh baked goods - welcomed after a long trek, to the shared dinner table which is a lovely way to get to know other guests and, in our case, make new friends, to the fire pit which Andrew lit just so that we could enjoy the sunset without being cold or pestered by midges, to the general knowledge and expertise of the area imparted by Andrew and genuine interest in what we all wanted from the holiday. An unforgettable experience and we will definitely be returning soon.…

Fantastic trip. The whole Knoydart area is a stunning wilderness. Our stay at Doune capped off a great break with Andrew providing boat access to some of the UKs remotest mountain walks. The food at Doune was home cooked and delicious and Rebecca and Andrew are terrific hosts making everyone feel welcome. They go out of their way to individually adapt to the itineraries of their guests giving it a very personal feel. The setting for Doune is truly stunning and the view across to Skye at sunset coupled with spotting an Otter on the beach made it pretty special. The antidote to crowded all inclusive holidays, don't hesitate.

A wonderful 5 star stay in the most perfect location , where the scenery is stunning & the only noises are the gentle lapping of waves and the sound of a cuckoo. The beds are super -comfortable and the food sublime. Rebecca is an amazing cook who produces varied breakfasts , a hearty pack up lunch and excellent evening meals . The vegetarian night has to be one of the best I’ve had. Both Andrew & Rebecca are brilliant, friendly & helpful hosts who go way beyond “ the extra mile” to ensure that their guests have a great time.. Loved every second ! Ken & Mel Langley

Having visited Knoydart a number of times I knew the rest of our group of ten who had not visited before would not be disappointed. Dolphins seen on two outings, otters and amazing scenery particular when taking boat trips to the bottom of Loch Hourn & Loch Nevis. Our stay at Doune was all we could wish for with some of our group staying in the Stone Lodges and others in Doune Bay Lodge. All dined in the restaurant with excellent food and an ever changing menu. Well looked after by Rebecca, Andrew and their team. Added extras with Wallace playing Scottish Music on his cello and the well known author Alexander McCall Smith and his wife sailing in for dinner. The signed copies of his book which he passed around were very well received particularly one of our group is currently reading his books in a Book Club. Mindful we must now sort out dates to revisited next year if we wish to enjoy another Doune, Knoydart adventure.…

If you stay at Doune with Rebecca and Andrew you will have an amazing experience. Great food and great company in a wonderfully relaxed and communal setting. They really care about Knoydart and about ensuring you share in some of its magic while you are there. It really is a very special place.

We stayed at Doune with family for 4 nights in August 2022. Andrew and Rebecca could not have been more welcoming and made our stay so special. In particular, the boat trips were hugely enjoyable for the whole family. Food was delicious and locally sourced. We will be back!
