Health & Leisure
All guests staying within this resort enjoy access to the 4-star leisure facilities within the adjacent Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel. Here you can leave the day-to-day behind and relax with a swim, steam or sauna or head to the Spa and perhaps try a facial or massage?
Their range of Elemis treatments are designed to pamper whilst using the very latest in anti-ageing treatments and technology. Whether its 30 minutes or a full day you have to spare, there's a treatment to give your body and mind a boost.

Local Area
Within Aberfoyle, just 4 miles along the loch, you'll find a range of great shops plus a few pubs and restaurants. Further afield and Callander is worth visiting for locally produced gifts, art and artisan produce. For those who like a wee tipple we recommend three distilleries within the area; McQueen Gin, Deanston Whisky and Glengoyne.
For great walks, bike trails, ranger activities and more visit the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, just up the hill from Aberfoyle village. This 50,000-acre forest park extends from the eastern shores of Loch Lomond to the mountains of Strathyre and has a wonderful visitor centre and cafe with stunning views across the Trossachs. Here you'll also find Go Ape, where the brave can explore the forest canopy via a treetop rope course and the UK's longest zip line!
If its Scottish history you're here to explore then both Doune Castle and Stirling Castle are within a one hour drive of Forest Hills.
