Flexible Tariff Rates

We are now able to offer options other than full board only.  For those who do not wish to take all meals at Douneside, we now offer Dinner Bed & Breakfast only and Bed & Breakfast only options.  Please see tariff for details.

25% Operational Tour Discount

25% discounts for those serving or returning from Afghanistan.
We offer 25% discount to British officers serving or returning from operations, either whilst on R&R, or within 6 months of return - extended if we are closed (over the winter months).

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.  

Weddings at Douneside

We are delighted to announce that we are able to offer Douneside as a location for small weddings (up to 60 - more if willing to compromise on dining location).  Given sufficient notice, weddings may be held during the guest season (May through to mid-October), or out of season, through late autumn, winter and early spring.  Please telephone or e-mail to find out more.

Self-Catering

Two cottages may be available for self-catering for a minimum stay of 3 days.

These are Pine and Gatehouse cottages.  Please see tariff for details.  These may also be available out of season for winter holidays - skiing, mountaineering, walking etc. 

Cancellation Fee

We no longer take a deposit on booking.  In lieu of deposits, a 20% cancellation fee may be charged if a booking is cancelled within one month of the due arrival date.  This fee will be waived if the room is re-let.  Please see tariff for details.

Single Occupancy Supplement

There is only one single room at Douneside House - Room 3.  To ensure single guests are not penalised, several other rooms within the House have been designated for single occupancy; these are Rooms 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.  Any other standard grade, double or twin room may be booked for single occupancy, but a supplement of £15 per day may be payable.  Premium rooms, cottages and apartments will not normally be available to single occupants.  

Packed Lunches are Back!

Due to popular demand, we have re-introduced the option of a packed lunch (picnic) in lieu of taking lunch in the House. 

Douneside's Wi-Fi link
There is a wi-fi link at Douneside which means that internet access is available in most areas of the main house.

Also, we provide a wi-fi linked laptop and printer for guests' use (in the conservatory).

Payments by credit card
Credit and debit cards may be used to pay bills (in addition to cash or cheque). Debit cards incur no additional charges but credit cards attract a 2% surcharge to cover bank costs.   Sorry, we are unable to accept AMEX cards.
