This home has been through a remarkable comprehensive renovation. It was a perfect place for our family of 11 across 3 generations to call home base for our short two day tour of the area around Inverness. Paul is very attentive and always available. Home is complete with any cooking need your might have if you are preparing your own meals. Just a short ride to downtown Inverness. We enjoyed our visit.

We stayed in this wonderfully grand home whilst visiting the area recently. There was plenty of space for our large group of adults and children. The younger ones enjoyed the outdoor space and amenties, during our downtime. The house has obviously been lovingly restored and we are are thankful to Paul for sharing this space with us.

Great property, very accommodating for a group of 13, one big family. Six bedrooms is very nice, also five bathrooms. Paul stays on the property and was extremely helpful at check-in and would pop over whenever we needed him. He even took me down to the river, which was a bit of a hike! Great place, would stay there again.

The property was great; plenty of parking, plenty of room to move about. The house was large but quaint and had everything we needed. Very quiet and remote but only minutes from town. I LOVED Paul's (owner/manager) attitude about closing out the house - "you are on vacation... you don't need to do anything except collect your things..." So no bed stripping, trash disposal, towel washing that is often requested by other properties. I highly recommend this property. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Thanks Paul!

This is an incredible house!We had a large group and we had plenty of room to spread out and relax. It felt very welcoming and we immediately felt at home. Loads of outdoor space to let the kids run wild and to explore the trails. Paul was a wonderful host. He was very responsive to messages before and during our stay. And he also gave recommendations on local places to eat and celebrate a birthday.We so wished we had more time to spend there and would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area!!

Such a gem this lovely property so close to Inverness. Paul was a wonderfully gracious and helpful host amd the house was just tremendous. A currated collection of art works, furniture and collectibles made each room its own unique experience. The hot tub was a wonderful addition - one not easily found in the area. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for yourself or a small army - we were so grateful to have so many resources at our fingertips.

Our stay at The Doune

We had a wonderful stay at The Doune. Paul greeted us when we arrived and was always available to assist with anything we needed. He was extremely responsive to any questions or issues that we had during our trip and even recommended a great day excursion for us that we thoroughly enjoyed. The house is spacious and comfortable and we especially enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and the suit of armor and other unique furnishings. We highly recommend The Doune for anyone seeking a vacation rental in Inverness. We certainly hope to return.

The villa is stunning, and provides every amenity imaginable. After a day touring the Inverness area, we loved arriving to the villa and hopping into the hot tub, which was perfectly maintained. There was absolutely no waiting for the hot tub to heat up because Paul had it hot and ready to use. Paul is the ultimate host, and it is especially nice to have his assistance available on a moments notice since he lives just down the driveway in a separate house. The bedrooms are quite comfortable, and the kitchen is supplied with every convenience. We highly recommend this property for its convenience to many sights, as well as the hot tub.
