There are many reasons to visit Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel and Spa and these quickly become reasons you never want to leave.
If you ever tire of just looking out at our spectacular setting - however unlikely that may be - the hotel has everything you need to keep you entertained. Its difficult to believe you are under 20 minutes from Stirling - 40 minutes from Glasgow and less than an hour from Edinburgh. Its the perfect antidote to city life.
Our luxury four-star hotel has had a full redesign in 2017 upgrading our bedrooms and public spaces to create the perfect country retreat. If you like to kick back and relax - unwind by the pool or enjoy a soothing spa treatment. If you are keen to fill your lungs with the freshest of air - get out and about and explore with a countryside walk - a swing in the trees at Go-Ape or hire a bike and get off-road. Whatever the weather throws at you we have got the perfect spot to enjoy it. In the sunshine our terrace is the only place to be with an indulgent Afternoon Tea. Should the weather be less favourable there is no cosier place than in front of a crackling open fire in the lounge.
Its easy to see why our picture perfect location is chosen for memorable exclusive use weddings - out of town day trips and a popular Sunday lunch destination. Just be warned - you may never want to leave.Show More

AI Summary
The rooms are comfortable and spacious, with lovely views of the Loch. However, some guests felt the accommodation was overpriced and lacked variety in food options.

Very bad reception at that of Aberfoyle!!!
-Reception: After driving several hours to get to the hotel we only wanted to eat and relax.
We arrive to check in and the receptionist Emilia tells us 5 minutes I'll be there! (no hello, please or other polite wording!) She arrives after 15 minutes!!!!!! without apologizing and speaks to us very curtly (we realize that she is not happy at all) we ask her for breakfast hours, she answers us uh, first I must have your visa card. (still in a really not cool tone at all). she checks us in by slamming the keys and our cards roughly on the counter,
-Restaurant: The waiters were not friendly either, no hello, the meal was really of poor quality, I find that so shameful for a normally 4* hotel!!! During our stay, we visited several hotels and b&bs and I assure you that we were received simply but so warmly and the quality of the products was excellent. What a contrast! We who are so delighted to come to this hotel given the amenities and the setting; I will definitely not come back there again and I will not recommend it!
-Breakfast: The next day when you woke up, another great disappointment, how can I tell you that it was empty.
Personally I find that what best defines this hotel is the appearance. At first glance it's very pretty, the setting is green, the interior is very elegant. The rooms are spacious but that's it.
-The hygiene of the room was fair.

The hotel is disgusting. We were planned to stay there for 4 nights from Aug 22 but finally we stayed 1 night then moved to another hotel.
There are no reception service to check in, we were waited for 30 mins and end up 1 staff came to argue with us to say we just waited for 10 mins.
No lift, need to carry the luggage ourselves.
No heater for cold weather. Think about if in winter there are no heater, you will be freezing in the room and no one will coming to help you.
The waiter drop the food up of my clothes when serving. No apologies AT ALL.
Can’t request what’s the food you going to have. It’s all based on the waiters recommendations.
No wifi service until we paid 10 pound to the young boy in restaurant to help to set up for us.
The room had insects.
Facilities broken.
Door without lock etc…
