Douneside House & Health Club

The cottage is situated in a beautiful area, with modern amenities inside. The grounds have a little park for children, paths to walk and little gardens to discover. The staff were very friendly and helpful at the pool, with swimming noodles and floats available for children.

Fantastic facilities

Lovely, serene location. A short 1 mile walk to Tarland village, this wi work off your lovely breakfast. Exceptional views of the mountainsas the estate is nestled in a valley. this historic highland estateworth a visit. Staff are so friendly and accomodating,

What a delight! As a family with young children the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. A wonderful place to peacefulness and culinary perfection. We will be returning.

Very nice location. Lovely accommodation.

My husband and I recently stayed at Douneside House for two nights (three days) and had a wonderful time. The service from start to finish was personal and second to none - all members of staff couldn't do enough for us.

Our room was beautifully furnished, and spotless and the bathroom positively luxurious from the underfloor heating to the heated mirror (no steam!). The room overlooked the beautiful front lawn that seemed to go on forever.

The food was absolutely delicious, the chef having come from Gleneagles. On our first evening we had the mouth-watering taster menu with a different wine to accompany each course. Malcolm, the waiter, informed us of the history of the wines and source of the food which was largely locally produced. Our second evening meal was also excellent.

There is a wonderful ambience and atmosphere at Douneside, with the entire House being tastefully decorated, interwoven with its poignant history. This includes photographs and portraits of the MacRobert family, the previous owners.

There is also a super health club which includes a swimming pool and gym and lovely walks around the grounds. Further afield, worth visiting is the stone circle past Tarland and the Culsh Earth House just off the main road to the east.

We would not hesitate to make a return trip to Douneside House. It is an absolute gem and only an hour's drive from Aberdeen.
