The lodge was a bit dated but totally spotless and very spacious , it had 2 rooms... More

Superb location for the hotel. Warm welcome from reception. Room was large with king size bed and balcony overloking gradens towards the loch. Bathroom spotlessly clean. Beautiful views over loch. Food was very good. Staff excellant. Disappointed that Rafters Bistro is not open on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Stayed with friends in the lodge and it was lovely and clean and well equiped although there were no sharp knives to cut onions/chicken etc. only blunt ones. Two grumbles - due to maintenance only got to use the jacuzzi once out of the 4 days we were there due to maintenance and on one of the days the steam... More

Visited here for one night dinner bed and breakfast The location is simply stunning and the exquisite grounds are beautifully maintained. We opted for a feature room with a four poster bed so our expectations were high and the room was indeed lovely and spotless , however, we weren’t prepared for the glorious, panoramic views of Loch Ard which way...

Treated my 76yr mother to a weekend break, requested on the laterooms booking under special requirements and also emailed MacDonald hotels reservations direct to confirm that my mother had limited mobility and cant climb stairs therefore if a low down apartment would be available, this was confirmed back to me in email. We arrived to lovely hotel, the grounds and... More

We have been holidaying in Forest Hills for many a year, however it is only this year that we decided to 'take the plunge' and purchase this week privately. My parents own week 31 in Oak 10 so I was aware of the lodge however am pleased to advise that this was modernised if I understand correctly in December of... More

Stayed in one of the Red Maple lodges, booked for 3 nights. We are timeshare owners and know this resort well but this accommodation was very tired and by the Lodge Manager's own admission "old fashioned". Refurbishment is taking place but I do feel it has to be at a quicker rate as the resort will lose valued custom. The... More

Super hotel - great staff a little pricey for food (we paid over £100 for dinner for two with wine). However, the food was absolutely first rate - and the breakfast fantastic to match. Room was spotless (though the view of the car park was a little dissapointing!). In in all a great weekend break, great food, spotless rooms, quiet... More

Simply great location, peaceful and not too busy. Chilled out! Opted for the dinner, bed & breakfast which on reflection was a good idea as the hotel is 4.5 miles from Aberfoyle. Room: We had a double room which was in the rafters. This for the money was on the small side and dark. The sloping roof wall must have... More
