"So special. Great food and hosts, what a perfect way to start our vacation. Photos cannot capture the charm of this place-Wish we could have stayed longer!!"

Macdonald Forest Hills Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in one of the apartments, rather than the hotel, and it was absolutely perfect. Very spacious, clean and so well-equipped, particularly for someone like me who enjoys cooking for a family. The view from the living room/balcony was totally stunning. The playground could do with a bit of maintenance and there was a net missing from one of the tennis courts, which was a shame, as the other court was taken when we wanted to play. The bar and bistro menu was pricey. Swimming pool and leisure facilities were awesome and we spent so much time in the pool as the weather was very disappointing but what can you expect in Scotland! If you do get some sun wet heartily recommend a day trip to Luss and kayaking on Loch Lomond."

The Trossachs Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely stay at the Barn. Hosts were attentive and welcoming, with drinks and snacks on arrival. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had all the essentials needed for a short break. Kids enjoyed playing the games and the watching Netflix movies. The cabin is easy to get to with parking. We enjoyed the bath tub and salts to relax after a long walk. Definitely recommend this cabin."
