Pros:

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Douneside House. The facility was spectacular, the grounds were immaculate, but most of all, the staff was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING in all respects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We arrived after the dining room was closed (our fault) but they still went above and beyond to provide us with a wonderful meal. We will definitely stay at Douneside House on our next trip.

Perfect weekend away treat
Pros:

A wonderfully relaxing get away in a very home from home hotel. Staff with no exception were fantastic. Attentive but not imposing.

We had a lovely big room with amazing views out over the lawn.

Superb stay in a lovely country house hotel
Pros:

My wife and I had a superb overnight stay at this lovely country house hotel. The welcome we received from the staff was like nothing we'd experienced before - it was as if we were old friends coming to visit rather than first-time customers. The grounds were beautiful and the common areas full of character. We dined in the conservatory restaurant on the Table d'hote menu and the food was fabulous throughout all three courses.

If I were to make some minor criticisms, I'd point out that we only had one chair in our room, which seemed a little odd considering it was described as a "double room with seating area". Also, there was no mention of ironing facilities in the guest information book, and whilst we did next morning find the relevant details stashed in a drawer, it was too late to be of use.

However, these did not detract from our overall enjoyment, and we would have no hesitation in staying here again, or recommending Douneside House to others.

Beautifu, quiet, rural luxury hotel
Pros:

This is an absolutely delightful place for a quiet, peaceful luxurious stay in the most magnificent rural Scottish countryside. We would not hesitate to recommend anyone to take time out to enjoy Douneside and it's immaculate facilities. All the staff were efficient and friendly and were a credit to the MacRobert trust organisation and the memory of that amazing family.
