Holiday Tariff

The MacRobert Trust subsidises the operation of Douneside House as a charitable undertaking. To protect The Trust's charitable status, subsidies are given only to those entitled under the terms of the Trust Deed.

The rates shown are for full board, which includes accommodation, breakfast, morning coffee, buffet or packed lunch, afternoon tea and dinner (high tea is available for children as an alternative to dinner). Use of all facilities is free to guests.

Please note that the tariff was updated on 9 April 2008.  This reflects significantly increased food and energy costs which, reluctantly, we have had to pass on to guests.  In summary, all adult prices have been raised by £2.50 per person per day and children by £1.50 per day.  Please accept our sincere apologies.

The rates are effective until 30 April 2009

ADULTS (per person per day) :

Notes:

• An additional 10% discount applies in October and first week of May.
• Guests' children aged 18 and under 21 will be charged the adult rate unless in full time education when they will be charged the child rate. Where families have three or more children aged between 5 and 17 years of age, one child will be free.
• The charge for dogs covers the cost of extra cleaning and servicing dog litter bins within the grounds. The charge is per dog and covers the duration of the stay, whether one night or several.

The Tariff reflects a subsidy to entitled officers of the Armed Forces, their spouses and their children under the age of 21, and widows and widowers of former officers. Children are most welcome at Douneside House with cots and high chairs available if required. Discount is not given to officers' parents or grandchildren, to children over 21 years of age or to companions or friends who are not themselves entitled.

25% Operational Tour Discount

We are offering 25% discount to officers serving or returning from theatres of operations, either whilst on R&R, or within 3 months of return. This discount also applies if your husband or wife is serving in a theatre of operations and you wish to take a break at Douneside with your children.  Three caveats apply:

• Only one discounted stay per tour.
• The 25% discount cannot be combined with any other promotion running at the time.
• Minimum of 30 days in theatre applies.  On booking you will be asked for the dates of your operational tour (without compromising security). 

Christmas Holiday
The Christmas Holiday period is a fixed 5-day break, which runs from 23rd - 28th December each year. This is a magical time with blazing log fires, lots of entertainment and traditional Christmas fare in this lovely country house atmosphere. A visit from Santa Claus is guaranteed and there is every possibility that you will enjoy a White Christmas.

For the Christmas Break a fixed supplement of £50 per adult guest and £30 for each child will be charged. A non-returnable deposit of £50 per adult and £30 per child is payable by 1st September each year.

Douneside Club
An integral feature of Douneside House is the Douneside Club, a private members' club registered under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976. Under Club Rules, residents of Douneside House aged 18 years or over are given temporary membership during their visit. The subscription for temporary membership is £2 and this sum will be added to bills where appropriate. 

Payment
Credit and debit cards may now be used for paying bills (in addition to cash or cheque).  To minimise bank charges debit cards are preferred over credit cards.

A 2% levy will be added to bills paid by credit card.  Sorry, we are unable to accept AMEX cards.

All prices include VAT at the current rate of 17.5%; this will be adjusted in the event that the rate changes.

Service charge is not included and is at the discretion of guests.
