Located amongst breathtaking scenery in Royal Deeside, Douneside House is a multi-award-winning country house hotel thatβs steeped in rich history and character.
Youβll arrive the day before your wedding, where youβll have an opportunity to gather, relax, and celebrate with family and friends. We can assist with organising a fantastic choice of activities. Imagine β¦. yoga on the infinity lawn, cocktail or whisky masterclass, golf, fishing or shooting on our Estate β¦ to name a few.
That evening, your wedding party will be accommodated on-site in our range of luxury hotel bedrooms and on-site holiday cottages and apartments. The main house features 10 unique bedrooms, ranging from spacious deluxe rooms to cosy doubles. Each cottage and apartment features ensuite bedrooms, a kitchenette and a range of amenities, including luxury toiletries, tea and coffee, and fluffy towels.
On your wedding morning, all your guests will enjoy a beautifully prepared cooked breakfast, served by our team in the main house. You may prefer room service, or an intimate breakfast with just your close wedding party in the Library.
You can choose where your wedding ceremony will take place. Our Conservatory is light and airy, or, if the weather is kind, the infinity lawn with the Grampian mountains in the distance creating the most spectacular backdrop.
After the ceremony, the drinks reception can take place on our Terrace, or during the wintery months, in our traditional Highland bar, with a roaring fire and cosy corners.
One of the many highlights of your time at Douneside will be the dining β our chefs will work with you to ensure itβs a menu to remember.
*Douneside House will be exclusively yours, you can design your two days to be unique to you.*
