Doune Bay Lodge is a charming five-bedroom retreat located in the stunningly remote Knoydart region, near Mallaig in the Highland of Scotland. This pet-friendly accommodation is designed to provide guests with a peaceful escape amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Visitors can easily access the lodge by parking in Mallaig and taking a passenger ferry, embarking on a scenic walk over moorland, or opting for a charter boat ride that offers spectacular views of the coastline, with the possibility of spotting dolphins and porpoises along the way.
Upon entering Doune Bay Lodge, guests are greeted by a beautifully designed open-plan living area that is bathed in natural light. The space seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The designated chef can prepare delightful meals for everyone to enjoy around the dining table, or guests can choose to dine outdoors on the enclosed front decking, which is perfect for summer alfresco dining. The lodge offers stunning vistas of the Cuilins and Sleat peninsula on Skye, as well as the islands of Rhum and Eigg, making it an ideal spot for relaxation with a glass of champagne or cozy stargazing around the fire pit during cooler evenings.
The lodge features five beautifully appointed bedrooms, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms, allowing guests to unwind in comfort and style. The thoughtful layout of the bedrooms across the ground and first floors ensures privacy and convenience, making it easy for everyone to prepare for the day ahead at their own pace. This design enhances the overall relaxation experience, ensuring that guests can fully enjoy their stay in this tranquil haven.
Beyond the confines of Doune Bay Lodge, visitors are encouraged to explore the nearby village of Inverie, the capital of Knoydart, which offers a glimpse into local culture and hospitality. The village is home to a community-owned pub, a village shop, a Post Office, a gift shop, and a tearoom, providing a taste of the unique charm of the area. Additionally, the region is rich in wildlife, with opportunities to spot Minky whales, orcas, basking sharks, seals, and various birds of prey, including golden eagles and buzzards. Doune Bay Lodge serves as a perfect starting point for an unforgettable journey into the serene beauty of the Highlands.
