About Macdonald Forest Hills Resort

Set in the breathtaking landscapes of the Trossachs, Macdonald Forest Hills Resort offers a serene retreat within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Our self‑catered Lodges feature spacious living areas and a choice of one to three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Every Lodge includes an open‑plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, along with a private balcony or terrace. Additional sleeping space is available thanks to a sofa bed or wall bed. Surrounded by nature, the resort is ideally positioned for outdoor adventures, including hiking and cycling. Loch Ard lies just in front of the resort, while Loch Katrine is only 5.6 mi away. For travelers’ convenience, Glasgow Airport is located 22 mi from the property. Guests can unwind at the Vital Leisure & Spa center, which features a gym, an 18‑yard swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and luxurious spa facilities. The hotel on site offers a 4‑star dining experience with meals and snacks served throughout the day, perfect for guests who want a break from self‑catering. The traditional bar overlooks the grounds and the scenic surroundings, with a spacious outdoor patio ideal for relaxing with a drink.

    Fabulous and immaculate grounds but the apartment was tired, furniture stained and ripped and sofa had zero support. Very disappointed. Apartment was tired and dull. Website stated continental breakfast was included but we were rudely informed that it wasn’t with the apartment.

    The grounds and the views were spectacular . The swimming was out of order for four days , the arcade was dirty with old equipment ( glasses and food wrappers left from Sunday evening ) . We went on the Wednesday just after it opened . No one ever at the bar . Our room was not ready on arrival even though it was a late 5 pm check in . In need of a refurbishment in certain areas , however our lodge was very comfortable / clean and the staff were lovely

    Beautiful property in a stunning location with amazing view. Swimming pool was out of order for nearly a week. Super disappointing. Food was great but evening meals were very expensive.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    الموظفين تعاملهم غير جيد اطلاقا والمرونه صفر ويبون فلوس وبس مارضوا يعدلون الشقه ولا يلغون الحجز مع اني طلبت قبل بأسابيع ولا رضوا يغيرون التاريخ ولا يرجعون الفلوس

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location was beautiful. The staff at Mc Donald Forest Hill were not welcoming at the reception desk. The staff at the Garden Restaurant had no customer service skills and were not friendly. The main restaurant was empty when we wanted to have lunch at 12 pm.however we were told it’s ‘all booked”.we had to have lunch in the lobby lounge. The pool table was very poor quality and the swimming pool was not working the length of our stay.

    Relaxing break with grandchildren.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    the apartment, swimming facilities, the grounds, and the leisure area. we had 3 children with us and didn't find the restaurant menu very child friendly. As a consequence we went into Aberfoyle to eat.

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    - beautiful location - spacious units - outdoor gardens are amazing - cleanliness: most furniture is old; and there are hygiene concerns eg rats in the lobby of the main hotel - value for money: ridiculously expensive for a facility that isnt well maintained (despite its amazing location)

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was a great size and the bathroom with the tub was so fun with our toddler, but the bed wasn't super comfortable and the room was pretty warm.
