The Experience

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.

Reviews

Doune Knoydart is more than just a place, it's an unforgettable experience – from the scenic boat rides, to spectacular views, hearty home-cooked meals, characterful interiors, and hikes right from the doorstep. It's truly one of the most special places I've ever inspected.

Location

The neighbourhood

There is nowhere quite like Doune – Knoydart is the last great wilderness in Britain. It’s idyllic and isolated – the closest pub and community store is a two-hour walk and there are no other places to eat nearby. It’s the sort of place you come to rest awhile.

Local points of interest from 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!

Introducing

Rebecca Rutherford & Andrew Brodie

Rebecca and Andrew bought Doune Knoydart in 2022. They love farming their little patch of Scottish soil, caring for farm animals, growing veg and nurturing a community. Rebecca is a fantastic cook, Andrew will happily give you a lift, by boat of course, and together they adore looking after guests and sharing this immersive experience.
