We had a lovely stay!
Paul communicated clearly before arrival with detailed directions, a map link, and his contact number in case we needed help finding the property. He also proactively checked our estimated arrival time and kept us informed about access, leaving the gate open so we could drive straight in despite the snow and ice. On arrival he showed us around his beautiful, spacious place, was always there to help with any little request, and the kids absolutely loved it. The location of the property was perfect for our visit to the Cairngorm Mountain Railway with the kids, and having a Tesco Extra on the other side towards Inverness was really convenient for picking up everything we needed during our stay. A perfect spot for our three families to have a good weekend.
Nothing to dislike.

Really interesting and relaxing place to stay 🏠
What a fantastic place to stay, was immaculately clean and tidy, hot tub and wood burner were a very welcome addition. Paul was really helpful from the moment we got there, gave us the tour and some fascinating history of the building and grounds. Amazing to see the progress over the years. If you’re looking for somewhere interesting to switch off and relax, this is the place. We will be back. Thanks Paul (and Missy 🐕) Tom and Sophie

Beautiful home in a beautiful part of Scotland.
The Doune is an incredible property. Huge, beautifully decorated home with so much to do outside, walks, games, outdoor eating and much more. It has a very large kitchen to accommodate group meals. Paul was a gracious host and was very helpful. We stayed for two nights and wish we had booked it for longer. Exiting and entering the property driveway can be a little tricky so you need to use caution. For a group or family you would love this home. Top tier! Thank you Paul for your hospitality!

Charming Property with Great Space, But Disappointing Cleanliness
The Doune is a big, beautiful vintage house set on a large property—perfect for a group of 8, including kids. With 6 spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, there was more than enough space for everyone. The kids had a blast running around both indoors and outdoors. Host Paul was wonderful—very responsive and helpful. And his sweet dog Missy was a delight!
That said, I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the property. There were cobwebs, dust, and several appliances like the induction stove, microwave, and coffee machine were not working properly. The fridge had expired and used items left behind, which made it feel like no proper check or cleaning had been done before our arrival. The washing machine and dryer were extremely dirty. The dryer had black soot inside, which ruined my white clothes. Even more concerning, I found used juice boxes and price tags from previous guests in my bedroom drawer—this raised serious questions about the hygiene standards of the entire place, including the towels and bedsheets. With proper maintenance and a focus on cleanliness, this home has the potential to be a fantastic stay. But for now, it falls short on basic hygiene expectations.

We had a marvelous time! The house has comfortable bedrooms and a large, well appointed kitchen.
The Doune house is in a good location, close to Inverness with its wide array of shopping and restaurants. The house is easily accessible from the A9 and it is also close to the train station in the center of the city and a short drive to the Inverness airport. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped, including both an induction stove, and an Aga stove in the kitchen, and full laundry facilities. The geothermal in-floor heating system made all three floors of the house comfortably warm. The rooms are well-furnished, including the sitting room with a fire place. The house is a perfect base for day trips to historic sites and hiking trails.
