Vicki made the booking process easy and greeted us to give us a wonderful tour. The property was straight out of a storybook with museum quality furnishings and mysterious secrets to explore. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. The local town was warm, inviting, and accessible. Perfect place to have family gathering, not suitable for people that cannot climb stairs due to age of castle.

The castle was a great spot for our Scottish adventure. Plenty of room for the 11 of us and a great location in between Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Highlands. Kitchen was a great gathering place for the group.

We really enjoyed the Old Newton of Doune. It has such character and personality. It was cozy and clean and warm. We can’t wait to come back!

Exceptional property that has preserved the heritage and history while offering everything needed to have a comfortable and memorable holiday. We were amazed at how well the property has been maintained and kept clean / equipped. 3 lounges to enjoy with fire places. Lovely kitchen and well stocked. Beautiful location and easily accessible to all directions of Scotland. Vicki was kind and responsive all thru. Amazing host. We were 3 families with kids and 6 adults. Each of us were delighted. Will love to return.

What a wonderful place to spend 50th. Loved being able to cook on aga again and house was so well equipped. The dungeon added additional fun to this historic building. Vicki was so helpful recommending catering by Francesca who catered for 11 on the night. Visit to nearby distillery and red kites at Argaty both amazing. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful mini castle!

The house has been beautifully cared for and maintained. It is rich in detail and furnishings. It is a fascinating property, and exploring it gives a sense of the many years it has lived through since it was built, so long ago.

We had a lovely week here. The house and garden are totally amazing and the area is wonderful.

Our family stayed for a few nights on a visit to Scotland. Old Newton of Doune exceeded expectations and Vicki maintains a lovely home. Vicki was beyond kind at check-in and reached out mid-stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for the wonderful visit!

During our stay at Old Newton we were joined by family and friends and on numerous occasions someone was always saying how "unbelievable" an experience it was. The house is historic and huge - we only used 3 of the 6 bedrooms (the ones closest to bathrooms - not all had showers) and there were so many shared spaces that you could literally get lost in. We didn't use the formal dining room at all as the eat in kitchen became the focal point of the house. The kitchens (2) are very well equipped with plenty of plates, cups, glasses, etc. We did evening drinks in either the music room, dungeon or outdoor patio (when the weather cooperated). The gardens were lovely and the views of Doune Castle were awe inspiring and just a short walk away (audio tour of Castle and connection to the Outlander and Monty Python is fun). Also close was the local co-op which was handy for picking up morning breakfast rolls and afternoon beer/wine. Be aware there are not many food options in Doune (the local pub and Italian restaurant are permanently closed) but a new restaurant (Waterside is due to open in September - run by the same group that does Riverside in Dunblane which we highly recommend), Vicki, our host was great - met us when we arrived and oriented us to the property (including the Aga stove - cooking on it was another "once in a lifetime" experience). Doune is a great base for exploring Stirling, Callander and Trossachs National Park and this property will not disappoint.

Magnifique demeure extrêmement bien décorée dans un jardin de rêve , emplacement idéal pour visiter les Loch, Glasgow et Edinburg

Two families stayed at the Castle and have a great time. Filled with history and secret passages you and your family will have a wonderful time. We will have memories that will last a life time. Thank you.

Great

We had a special weekend here with friends, the property is enormous and there is everything you need for a comfortable trip. The house is full of history, with lots to see and do just in the property and gardens alone - I wish we stayed for a week! The kitchen is well equipped with the AGA being a real treat to use. Vikki is an attentive and friendly host, who was there to show us around and answer any questions, and at checkout to see how our stay was - I couldn’t recommend her or this property enough. We hope to return!

Lovely place especially if you are interested in history and architecture some brilliant features so much to look at all the time within the house and the surrounding area we had great weather which made it very special and lovely host Vicki was always on hand if we needed anything .

Great location for our work retreat...lots of space, great fires, comfy beds.

Beautiful property with loads of character. Lots of interesting details, lovely garden and very peaceful. The kitchen was the heart of the house. Just perfect and everyone had a wonderful time. Great communication and very helpful. Would recommend it strongly, hope to be back again.

The house exceeded expectations. Vic has thought of everything and it feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Super spacious and fit 3 families and grandparents. Kids ranged from nearly 2-7 and they had the best time out in the garden and thought the house was very cool. Would definitely stay again and wouldn’t say that about many places.
