Top Loch Ard Forest Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Duchray Castle. Perfect for family with 3 small children.

10/10 Excellent

"Amy and Nikita were wonderful hosts! Amy was very attentive to make sure we arrived safely and had everything we needed. The welcoming fresh flowers and wine were an extra special touch and much appreciated, as was the tour and historical summary of the property and castle. Could not have enjoyed it more. We would recommend this to anyone traveling to Scotland!"

Altskeith Country House on Loch Ard

10/10 Excellent

"Superb boutique hotel. We couldn’t have had a warmer welcome from Yas and Alison. Stunning location at the side of Loch Ard. Hot tub looks out over the loch. Fabulous breakfast. Evening meal also great. Be sure to taste their home hot smoked salmon, the best ever. We stayed 2 nights and wished we had booked for longer. Thanks for the best stay of our holiday."

Aberfoyle Inn

"No hot water both nights, no breakfast offered, no cleaning off the room or replacement towels, not worth the money but no option, staff in pub very nice one plus. Mention water problem but wasn't resolved."

1 bedroom accommodation in Aberfoyle

10/10 Excellent

"Faodail was perfect for our short stay. Lauraâ€™s welcome on arrival was warm, authentic, and she was very helpful with information about the surrounding locale. The property, I can say, was one if the cleanest that I have stayed at which I loved. The location for walks, both long and short, surrounded by forest and a beautiful little loch thrown in for the dog - was ideal ðŸ˜Š. A short walk into Aberfoyle with a great dog friendly cafe was useful for us and larger places to visit within short driving distances. Myself, my daughter, grandchild and dog had a wonderful, relaxing visit to the area."
