Our Facilities

All yours to enjoy

We have a wide range of excellent facilities at Douneside House for you to enjoy.

Wining and dining
Delicious home cooking* is served in our comfortable dining room, while our cellar is stocked with a thoughtfully selected range of good value wines. We also have a bar where you can meet and chat with friends, family and other guests. (*If you follow a special diet just let us know and we will do all we can to meet your needs.)

Relaxing
Beautiful period furniture and fittings make our library and music room ideal places in which to rest and relax. You can also take your ease in our conservatory - a more recent addition to Douneside House, but one that is also welcoming and peaceful.

Child-friendly facilities:

We are able to provide several child-friendly facilities.  In addition to travel cots, wooden-sided cots and camp beds, we now have bed guards/rails. Please let us know in advance of your arrival if you require any of these facilities for your room.

We also have: a bottle sterilizer; spare bibs; feeders; children's cutlery and plates; and high chairs.

Although we do not provide a baby sitting service per se, we have a babysitter list which we can pass on to parents to enable them to make arrangements.

We provide high tea in the early evening for children too young to join parents for dinner.  Please let us know in advance of your arrival if you wish your children to take high tea.    

Getting back to nature
The quality and variety of plants and flowers on display in our gardens is simply outstanding. We have expert gardeners who work hard to maintain and nurture 15 acres of grounds and they have created an inspiring environment in which to sit or stroll.
