Douneside House

Holiday country house and conference centre

A warm welcome

The House is a registered club owned by The MacRobert Trust**, and is situated 30 miles west of Aberdeen on Royal Deeside. It has 15 acres of magnificent gardens and grounds with spectacular views over the Howe of Cromar to the Grampian Mountains.

From May until mid-October (and during Christmas, New Year and Easter) it is a holiday country house for serving or retired commissioned officers of the armed forces and their family*. For the remainder of the year it serves as a conference centre for businesses and other organisations.

A place of peace and tranquility, the House offers excellent value for money and something for guests of all ages. Its comfortable accommodation is combined with good food, extensive facilities, and a convenient location.

It is also an ideal base from which to explore the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside.

For business people organising a conference it provides a private, secure and secluded location with a good range of up-to-date facilities.

As the former home of a distinguished local family, Douneside House retains great charm while incorporating all the modern comforts that guests expect.

*Douneside House is open to serving and retired officers of the Armed Services (including the Reserve Forces and Officers of the Air Training Corps, Army Cadet Corps and Sea Cadets) and their accompanying families and guests. Officers of NATO and Commonwealth Armed Forces, who are serving in posts in the UK, are also welcome. Non-entitled friends or relatives of Officers, may come to Douneside only when accompanied by that Officer.
