We have just returned from a trip to Scotland to support a couple of Lands End to John O' Groats cyclists, and were lucky enough to spend 2 nights the Forss Country House Hotel. It was an absolute pleasure. Our initial welcome to the hotel was by Anne MacKenzie, and it set the tone for the whole stay – welcoming,... more

Great welcome to this relaxed and comfortable hotel. Despite earlier reviews we found the wine OK, the food was excellent and a wonderful range of malts dispensed by an expert. more
