Doonbank Cottage Bothy

Excellent secluded location. Dog friendly.

Nothing to do with the hosts but the weather could have been better.

I recently had the pleasure of staying a night at this bothy, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by its peaceful setting and the sense of complete escape from the rush of everyday life. Surrounded by stunning scenery, it offered the perfect opportunity to slow down, switch off, and reconnect with nature. The welcome eggs and hot homemade scones on arrival was an added bonus, as well as a few little treats for my little Cavapoo, Dolly. Such a thoughtful touch! The bothy itself was simple but incredibly welcoming. It was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything needed for a comfortable stay. What stood out most was the atmosphere. It felt secluded without being inaccessible, adventurous without being uncomfortable. Waking up to fresh air and uninterrupted views each morning was a highlight in itself. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates peace, tranquility, and the beauty of the outdoors and a extremely comfy bed.

We arrived late at 830pm. Chris was there to meet us, he gave us all the information we needed for our stay. Then he went away and came back with delicious freshly baked scones. There was fresh milk in the fridge and eggs from Chris hens. Enclosed garden for our Labrador. The location is amazing, 2 minutes walk to the river and acres of woodland to explore. The bed was lovely and comfy. Great bedding and towels and good shower. Chris provided lots of information about the local area and dog friendly places to visit. Our favourite beach was Croy. Only a short drive from the bothy. It was very quiet and ideal to let the dog run and swim. Thank you for a lovely stay. We ll certainly be back.

Beautiful property in a stunning, peaceful riverside setting. Chris was a wonderful host. Friendly and hugely kind when I had car problems which delayed my leaving. This place is a little gem. Spotless, and equipped and furnished to a really high standard. Lots of special extras like eggs laid by their own hens. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Amazing location Beautiful cottage Very attentive staff Nothing was a problem

Only negative was the beautiful bathroom was downstairs although it was gorgeous

Chris gave us a wonderful welcome to the property and went above and beyond giving us a lift to the wedding reception we were attending. Little touches made the place homely. Sorry we didn’t get more time to relax and explore the surrounding woodland.

great host

Beautiful cottage and overall area! Host is exceptional! Given fresh scones on arrival - perfection

Only that I wasn’t able to stay longer
