Macdonald Forest Hills Review

This country house overlooking Loch Ard is the choice address in the area. It was the winner of "The Scottish Family Hotel of the Year" award in 2007. In the foothills of the Trossachs, the resort stands on 10 hectares (25 acres) of private lands, which are riddled with trails running alongside tumbling burns (creeks). A haven of tranquillity, the house, with its open fires and panoramic views, also has the best leisure facilities in the area, with a good gym and an indoor pool, plus a steam room and spa bath.

Families often prefer the lodges facing the loch, as each unit comes with one to three bedrooms, with a private balcony or patio plus a fully equipped kitchen. In addition, there are 17 family units. Even the standard bedrooms are comfortably sized and well laid out, each attractively furnished in modern styling.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; health club & spa; pool (indoor); room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
