Property details
- Idyllic loch-side location: Set on the beautiful shores of Loch Ard and with easy access to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel & Spa has it all.

The loch is also excellent for fishing, boasting a great stock of brown trout, perch and pike.

It also offers an extensive array of high-end Elemis spa treatments, including facials, massages, manicures and pedicures.
- Award-winning eats: Prepared using the finest Scottish beef, lamb, pork and wild fish, The Garden Restaurant's authentic cuisine has earned it a prestigious AA Rosette. Wine and dine in an atmospheric setting with stunning views of the Trossachs, and wash it all down with the a glass from the impressive selection of Scottish whiskies.
