Fodor's Expert Review Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel

This is a traditional Scottish country resort hotel for families and those who simply want to take it easy, though it also offers numerous sporting and fitness activities. More than 20 acres of gardens and grounds surround the building, which sits on a grassy hillside overlooking Loch Ard. Plaid or chintz drapes and reproduction antiques set the mood in the bedrooms. The restaurant has tartan decor that makes an appropriate backdrop for Scottish game, salmon, beef, and lamb.
