Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel & Spa

The road leading to the hotel is like driving through a disney movie or another world, I was literally speechless looking at the view. I got to the hotel and that too was beautiful, the rooms are very nice for the price point, the evening meal was lovely and great value for money, but the view out of the dining room over the lock was priceless, I would of happily paid double or triple the price. they have a spa and leisure facilities including a pool and gym which is free to access. Book there just for the view.

Good, lots of choice. Extra £7 for some items is a bit cheeky though, eg for avocado on toast. £7 extra for that? Odd.

Reception personnel were attentive, helpful and welcoming thank you. Amazing view from morning to night. Clean, comfortable bed, room was very spacious. Loved the pool and Spa facilities. Loved Loch Ard... delicious cooked breakfasts...the beautifully cured lawn and garden...so refreshing and soothing.

Beautiful location beside Loch Ard. Lots of parking spaces. Very well maintained gardens surrounding the hotel. Some people complain about the old decoration. I liked the classic charm of wood panels, big armchairs etc.. makes a change from plastic and harsh lights. Staff were very helpful and polite. Any questions were replied to efficiently with a smile. Our room had a view looking over the gardens to the loch. Bottled water, coffee capsules and shortbread replaced every morning.

The hotel was clean and well located for exploring Aberfoyle. There was a nice lounge to sit in and the grounds were lovely to walk around. Our room was a good size with chairs as well as a bed. The pool and sauna facilities were clean.
