Summary: Hotel in lovely setting unfortunately let down by few problems. 1. One day breakfast taking over a hour to be served. 2. Bread shown toaster that was far as it went. 3. Frozen bread and extremely heavy. 4. Last morning hardly anything there and not topped up 5.Evening meals over priced and small,portions. 6. Do not appreciate been quizzed as to why I asked for service charge to be removed. Waiter asked me why was the service not any good? I do not tip as I pay for your service through my accommodation charge. Most of the staff were lovely and the room was lovely and clean. The hotel ,is quite away from Callendar.

Summary: Very relaxing break in a beautiful location. Had a lovely room with gorgeous loch views, perfect for the recharging escape I wanted. Hotel is very dog friendly with both the rooms and lounge bar dining. Lounge and terrace lovely for relaxing with a view, definitely recommend Forest Hill’s and the Vital Spa where Caroline was fabulous with the Signature Spa treatment. Beautiful area to walk, cycle and explore at Loch Ard and Aberfoyle area makes it idea for either an active or relaxing break.

Summary: It’s advertised on the website that an activity centre offering mountain biking and similar activities is available on-site. However, it turns out that this is actually an independent activity centre located in front of the hotel. While they do offer some activities, they no longer provide bike rentals which was disappointing. Additionally, if you’ve booked a bed and breakfast room, you’ll need to reserve a time slot for breakfast. We were told this was due to high demand, but in reality, it seems to be a staffing issue - there were plenty of empty tables during our visit. This was a first for me, having to book a breakfast slot at a hotel. Unfortunately, the food quality was also underwhelming, so you may be better off exploring local cafés for a more enjoyable breakfast experience.

Summary: Last minute booking for a family room. Rooms a good size and everything you need the only downside is the beds are terrible. Far to soft to get a good nights sleep.

Summary: Gorgeous location. Beds were super comfy and rooms spacious if a little dated. No fridges but staff kind enough to store things in the bar fridge where needed. The real downside was the food - undercooked pastry on both desserts. The breakfast would have been great if for the lacking in alternative milks (one of our party was vegan) so we were unable to enjoy coffee/tea, cereal and the vegan breakfast was missing items and no one informed us until we asked at serving. Small portion was fine for me but could imagine others being disappointed. Despite cancelling breakfast for the 2nd day, the staff would not refund the full amount paid for breakfast which was frustrating.
