There are many reasons to visit Forest Hills Resort and these quickly become reasons you never want to leave.
With our self-catering accommodation in Aberfoyle as your base, you’re perfectly placed to explore some of Scotland’s most spectacular countryside – with the added attraction of loch and mountain views, beautiful gardens and leisure facilities to enjoy when you return after a day in the fresh air.
For lovers of the great outdoors there are endless options on your doorstep, whether you’re delving into the forest along pathways and trails or experiencing one of several water-based activities nearby Loch Ard. Plus, the freedom of a self-catering break means you can set your own timetable for exploration.
Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily accessible by car, but we think you’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from this idyllic natural world!
At Forest Hills, our Aberfoyle self catering resort, you can experience the very best of Scotland on your doorstep. We're surrounded by lochs, mountains and forests and even have castles and distilleries nearby.
Within Aberfoyle, just 4 miles along the loch, you'll find a range of great shops plus a few pubs and restaurants. Venture 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.
Just north of Aberfoyle you'll also find Go Ape, where the really 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.
