Little Gem we found for 1 night on our 2 week Scotland holiday. Small hotel in a small town. It was a great stay in a fun, tiny little town of Doune.

Very quaint hotel with lovely decorations. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable. We enjoyed finding some snacks in our room. The included breakfast was tasty and perfect for our needs. The walls are a little thin but we turned on the fan in the room for white noise and it worked great.

The Woodside was a very nice hotel in a good location within Doune. My family enjoyed the stay. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. The restaurant had good food at reasonable prices, and a very good to-order breakfast included in the room price. There is a well-maintained trail loop along the river to Doune a very short walk from the hotel too.

The Woodside was a lovely place to stay! Quaint, clean, quiet, and I loved the bar/restaurant which welcomed us upon arrival. Breakfast was delicious and the waitress was so accommodating and friendly despite us arriving a few minutes late. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Hannah, Fraser, and Lara were lovely to talk to and gave us a lot of helpful information about Scotland and the local area. I would definitely stay again!

Impromptu stay (good weather) so booked at night at the Woodside. On arrival a nice wee bonus to be upgraded. Our room and the other facilities were spotlessly clean, the bed comfy and the shower great. The bar and restaurant both for drinks, dinner and breakfast had excellent choice and beautifully cooked….but what made the Woodside special was the staff….the service was excellent and friendly. Great stay, we’ll be back….with friends in tow.

Great little hotel

We had a very comfortable one night stay at The Woodside. The staff were friendly and efficient and the service was done with a smile. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. The room was clean and tidy with a comfortable bed. The hotel is in a good location and we were able to walk into town and down to the castle in no time at all. We will definitely return for another stay.
