Western coast of Knoydart. The view above was taken looking across the bay from the North.
At Doune Dining Room everything is home-made from locally sourced fresh ingredients. The ambience is warm, friendly and relaxed, and equally suited to small or large groups. Our famous three course evening dinner is a carefully chosen single menu, freshly prepared daily (with options for special diets and vegetarians). Start with a wonderful home-made soup or pate, Doune Bay crab, or a stunning salad, always served with our own bread rolls hot from the oven. Main course specialities include, traditional roasts of lamb or venison, rich casseroles, pies and vast seafood buffets A delicious dessert will compliment the main course and often makes use of soft fruit in season from the our garden. This will be followed by a varied Scottish cheese board served with our own oatcakes. Finish with freshly brewed coffee or tea, or choose something different like our freshly picked garden peppermint tea. The dining room is licensed and we offer a carefully chosen selection of wines, spirits and local beers all at very reasonable prices.

Yacht moorings are near the South shore of Doune Bay. Both bays are clean, except for the shoal shown on the sketch. The bay gives good shelter from winds from NE through E to SW. It is uncomfortable in NW winds. Water and diesel are available at the pier, but please enquire at the house before coming alongside.
Guests at Doune get to see a wide variety of wildlife at close quarters, from whales, dolphins and basking sharks to red deer, eagles and otters. If you would like to find out more about what we see, take our
