Forss House Hotel

“Peaceful luxury”

The room was lovely; clean, nicely decorated, and a good size. The curtains were effective in blacking out the light. The bathroom was huge, with a very large circular copper bath. Loved it.

The room was lovely; clean, nicely decorated, and a good size. The curtains were effective in blacking out the light. The bathroom was huge, with a very large circular copper bath. Loved it. The shower was very good also. Breakfast was good quality and a la carte; no buffet. Dinner was of high quality ingredients and cooking. The bar was well-stocked and decorated traditionally, with an extensive whiskey collection. The grounds were gorgeous with a beautiful waterfall and fishing stream at the bottom of the gardens. The service was exemplary. Friendly, attentive and efficient. The only negative was being woken at 6 am on the day of our departure by very loud classical piano music being played in the restaurant below our bedroom. We reported it on our departure and the staff apologised, stating that it had been turned on remotely and by accident by the morning shift team, who were unaware that it was playing at all let alone at a volume so loud that it stopped my lie-in. I thought it was another guest’s alarm going off repeatedly, so did not go downstairs to investigate. Once alerted to the din by a colleague arriving later that morning, the music was turned off.

“A dog friendly Country House Hotel. Great food, lovely service and fantastic grounds.”

This is a place that looks slightly tatty but at the same time is comfortable and full of interesting design features. Decor is aimed at the huntin' shootin' fishin' set but is charming in its old fashioned chic. We stayed in the modern outside properties which were perfect for allowing the dogs a … lisää

This is a place that looks slightly tatty but at the same time is comfortable and full of interesting design features. Decor is aimed at the huntin' shootin' fishin' set but is charming in its old fashioned chic. We stayed in the modern outside properties which were perfect for allowing the dogs a midnight pee. The dogs could go in the bar and the conservatory for food. The menu was close to fine dining, delicious and varied. I loved the venison. Outside, the hotel is set in spacious wooded grounds with paths going down to a river and to the sea. There are sheep in some fields, so be careful with dogs.

“Quaint hotel with intimate feel, but pricey food”

A quaint hotel which plays up to the Scottish fishing lodge stereotype, this was a nice place to spend a night. The room had traditional decoration and was spacious, as was the bathroom. Very clean, and we had a good nights sleep too. Staff were lovely and the service felt personalised and friendly… lisää

A quaint hotel which plays up to the Scottish fishing lodge stereotype, this was a nice place to spend a night. The room had traditional decoration and was spacious, as was the bathroom. Very clean, and we had a good nights sleep too. Staff were lovely and the service felt personalised and friendly. The restaurant however has a staid feeling to it (with bizarre music choice, played too loudly) and although the cuisine was good, it is very overpriced compared to similar establishments. Two 3-course meals and a bottle of wine plus 12.5% discretionary tip easily gets you to £200.
