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.

Really enjoyed our stay at Douneside, from the welcome and tour, to the health club facilities, to the exceptional dinner. The history of the house was fascinating and the relaxation unparalleled.
