With a double aspect and views across the Cairngorms, the Dukestone’s décor is sumptuously moody with its bold black and gold wallpaper, bed coronet, plump velvet cushions, genuine carved oak Scottish wardrobe and retro radio. A handsome button backed armchair sits in by the window – the perfect place to relax and take in glimpses of the natural beauty of Donside.

The Dukestone has a clawfoot bath, Victorian-style marble sink unit and charmingly idiosyncratic light fittings.
