The apartment was a little chilly in the evening even with the log burner on.

Beautiful hotel, particularly liked the seperate apartment within the hotel grounds.

The room was very small, difficult to get to the bathroom, which was exceptionally small. We were there 5 nights very hot and uncomfortable.

The staff were exceptional Food excellent Gardens and hotel excellent

We were there to visit Balmoral Castle so it was a little further away than we would have liked.

More like a lovely cosy country house than an hotel.

Nothing; I couldn’t fault it.

Everything; the place, the scenery, the food.

Glorious setting with lovely gardens to wander round. Breakfast very tasty. All staff very helpful. Particularly liked the history information of the MacRobert family. The welcoming Teddy bears were fun.

This place is absolutely magical. We had such a wonderful time here. The estate is stunning and impeccably maintained. I was especially taken by the furniture and décor—there’s so much soul and history in every detail. It’s the perfect setting to truly relax and reconnect with nature. The restaurant offers delicious meals paired with outstanding service. Every member of the staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive—they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. The tennis court, swimming pool, and golf course are a fantastic bonus. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great location.

Although good, the coffee could have been of a better quality and less insipid.

First class on both counts. Plenty of strategically placed seating areas, both inside and outside the whole property. Very impressed and hope to return.

Definitely the most wonderful place we stayed at in the UK. The grounds are spectacular and the walks through it and the surrounds were indeed a highlight. The staff were always wonderfully attentive and friendly, and James helped select some amazing wines to accompany the wonderful meals we had there. We stayed there three nights but wished it could have been longer to truly enjoy all the facilities on offer.

Douneside House was one of our favorite stays in Scotland! The staff were warm and welcoming, and the cottage was clean, comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was delicious, with a generous spread of both continental options and cooked dishes. What truly set the experience apart were the stunning gardens, relaxing pool, steam room, and hot tub at the health club— all of which made our visit exceptional. Delightful hospitality! Thank you!

Room small and lacked convenient electrical outlets and coffee service area.

Lovely staff, gorgeous setting and stunning gardens, fabulous meals, serene, historic and heartfelt founder story.

Relaxing and beautiful site. Excellent staff!

Our dinner choice for the main course was a maple syrup chicken dish but it was way too sweet and tasted like a dessert. The dinner menu was £50 for two courses that was a bit of a disappointment, although the other choices looked great. Unlucky choice for me. Two others in my group felt the same and we sent the dishes back unfinished.

Beautiful setting. Comfortable rooms and very clean. Leisure facilities brilliant with pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna, croquet, tennis court and a putting green.

Bar and restaurant selection restricted and not to suit all tastes. Normally I can find something on any menu to like but struggled here with dinner selection. Breakfast good however and service well organised and prompt.

Beautiful location. Loveky gardens to relax in. Apartment spacious and very clean.just are steps from main hotel. Staff all helpful.
