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!

Lovely location, stayed with friends and enjoyed our break however the problems arose after we checked out.

The day after we checked out I received an email c/w an invoice saying they had missed £94.10 worth of drinks from our bill and that they would use the card on file to take payment. I immediately called to inform them that the drinks listed were definitely not ours and suggested they speak to the barman who had served us during our stay as I was sue he would remember what we had ordered. It is now three days later and I have heard nothing back from the hotel. I would have expected someone would have the decency to contact us to confirm their mistake and an apology would have been nice. I feel they have definitely let themselves down. This was our second visit I now feel it will be our last.

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

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 place, the rooms and grounds are so well kept. Delicious evening meal in the conservatory and a great breakfast.

Not sure if the health club is managed by the hotel, but we went in for a swim at 07:30 and were asked if we had booked. We weren’t aware we should have, and the lady on the reception made it sound like she was making an exception for us. We were allowed in ‘with the 08:00 slot’, to find there was one other person leaving the pool as we arrived. I could understand if it was busy, but it was completely empty the whole time we were in the pool. But aside from that ‘issue’, we’re happy with our stay 😊

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!

The grounds of this hotel are really incredible, we were "wowed" by the beautiful and diverse gardens and nice walking paths. Also a lot of gems in the area that may not stand out on standard travel guides. You can spend a day exploring within an hour of the hotel, very easily. We were in a separate building that was suitable for our purpose, but close enough to enjoy the main building. The main building has a very upscale feel, with a bar and two nicer restaurant options. Our rooms were more utilitarian, but clean and comfortable.

Beautifully appointed property with lots of facilities. They provide a nine hole free golf course and an excellent in house dining option. Apparently there is a health spa as well, but we never got that far.

There’s a huge variety in the size of bathrooms and bedrooms. We had two rooms and our adult children had an enormous bathroom fit with handicap accessories etc, while our shower and toilet were literally meant for small people. If you are staying more than one night, consider checking out the room to make sure the proportions fit you.

The best place I stayed in Scotland. Historic countryside house near the Cairngorns with charm and personality and a beautiful garden. Incredible story of the family who owned the place, in particular Lady MacRoberts and her connection to the RAF, which guests can see and feel in the main house. Excellent dinner and breakfast in the Conservatorium (I didn't try the Library dinner, but I guess it is a remarkable experience). Lovely bar, very professional and friendly staff.

Not having stayed more nights!

Cosy , cheerful, very comfortable apartment .Love the log fire , altho weather so good , didn’t have the need to use it. Loved the extended grounds, floral scents and organic grow your own garden.

Dogs are welcomed in self contained apartment , disappointed my pooch wasn’t permitted in hotel main building , tho understandable if folk have allergies and hygiene reasons.
