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
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.
