We had our wedding here in the summer and we cant say enough about the place. We love it. Its staff, location, service, food, and of course we will have the memories of our amazing wedding to boot! We were looking around the area for a few days for a wedding location and the minute we drove up the driveway... More

As a last minute holiday treat, my partner booked a 2 night break at this hotel between Christmas and New Year. We drove through wind and gales, but arrived to a welcoming roaring fire, and a delightfully clean room with a magnificent view. The weather was dreadful, but the scenery spectacular, the pool was perfect, and the jacuzzi (though small),... More

Having found the Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel by searcing on leisure facilities, this hotel is now firmly established as our favourite twice yearly stay. The benefits of this hotel go way past leisure facilities given it's beautiful location on the banks of Loch Ard, easy access to amazing forest walks, cycle routes and other amenities. The staff of the hotel... More

The setting of this hotel is beautiful, overlooking Loch Ard. We stayed in a feature room and for the view it was worth it. The rooms are very comfortable and warm and the bathroom was very clean. The hotel needs a little TLC here and there, however we still had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The food was certainly... More

We have stayed at Forest Hills several times over the last few years and it is one of our favourite places to visit. We have just returned from a superb festiuve weekend with four friends and yet again were not disappointed. The party evening on the friday night lived up to our expectations of excellent food and service as well... More

The hotel is set in a lovely tranquil location perfect for a relaxing break. Rooms are large with all the amenities you could need. Dining is a bit more expensive than your usual hotels but was first class. Leisure complex was superb and modern. A special mention must go to all the staff from the cleaners to the management, they... More

Have stayed here several time over the past 10 years. Located 3 miles up a narrow road from Aberfoyle alongside Loch Ard, the hotel is set in lovely gardens with a beatiful views across the Loch. I have always stayed here during the winter (November, February or March) to co-incide with birthdays or wedding anniversary, and have always been lucky... More

We came here on a LateRooms deal at the last minute and arrived pretty tired after a walk up Ben Lomond. We were staying in the lodges and the first appartment we were given smelled of cigarette smoke although we had requested non-smoking room (although I appreciate that with LateRooms booking your requests are not guaranteed). We returned to reception... More

Our stay here was a Birthday surprise from my partner~ DBB £183 We stayed in room 320, a four poster bed with gorgeous views. We expected a higher standard of hygiene/housekeeping from a 4* hotel. Instead we found the canopy above the bed is stained and grubby.The windows are long overdue for a clean and then there's the VERY DIRTY... More

I've just had a lovely night away at Forest Hills. Only a stone's throw from Glasgow but it feels remote and is stunningly beautiful. Grounds and views were perfect and the staff could not have been more friendly, helpful and cheery. The lodge was spotless and very roomy. Shame we didn't have time for the sauna. Food also gorgeous in... More
