Perfect elopement
We chose Doonwood for our elopement, and it was quite simply the most magical day of our lives.
From the moment we arrived, the stunning woodland setting provided the most breathtaking, private backdrop for just the two of us. We stayed in the cosy bothy, which was absolute perfection, and used the beautiful terrace at the cabin for our wedding photos. It feels completely secluded and enveloped in nature, offering incredible photo opportunities among the trees. There is a deeply romantic, boutique atmosphere to the whole estate that made our celebration feel intimate, stress-free, and entirely our own.
If you are looking for a secluded Scottish elopement spot where you can truly focus on each other surrounded by peaceful woodland beauty, Doonwood is absolute perfection. We couldn't have dreamed of a better place to begin our married life.
