Doonbank Cottage sits
within its own 4.5 acres of private woodland garden, to
which its guests have exclusive use.
Among oaks, birch, beech,
native Scotch pines, holly, cherry, apple, plum and pear
trees, the woods abound in foxgloves, honeysuckle and roses
in the summer, holly and ivy in the winter, and in the
spring the forest floor is covered with bluebells and wild
garlic.
Doonbank Cottage's eastern
boundary is the River Doon, which stretches for
approximately half a mile. It is one of Scotland's most
famous salmon rivers, and on its banks Robert Burns composed
many of his most famous poems, including 'Ye Banks and Braes
of Bonnie Doon'.
