Top Loch Ard Forest Hotel Reviews

Rob Roy Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, pet friendly hotel. Slightly dated and a favourite with coach parties."

The Oak Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We have been staying at the Oak Tree for many years when visiting Scotland and it is always a great highlight. The staff are always lovely and this trip, Kay really stood out as an exceptional server. She was so friendly and kind and made sure everyone was enjoying their stay. The Oak Tree is lucky to have her!"

Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was large and well-appointed. The hotel property is on a lake, and our delicious breakfast was served in a dining room with great views of both the gardens and the lake beyond."

Crannaig House

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Auchentroig House

10/10 Excellent

"Spent the weekend here as a group for my sisters hen weekend. The photographs don’t do the facility justice. The house was amazing with so much character!! The staircase, aga and fire were fantastic!! Set in such a peaceful space with excellent grounds for kids and big ‘kids’ to play games. Plenty of space and rooms were an amazing size and comfortable! Would def book again for a large group activity weekend!! "
