Set in the breathtaking landscapes of the Trossachs, Macdonald Forest Hills Resort offers a serene retreat within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Our self‑catered Lodges feature spacious living areas and a choice of one to three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Every Lodge includes an open‑plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, along with a private balcony or terrace. Additional sleeping space is available thanks to a sofa bed or wall bed. Surrounded by nature, the resort is ideally positioned for outdoor adventures, including hiking and cycling. Loch Ard lies just in front of the resort, while Loch Katrine is only 5.6 mi away. For travelers’ convenience, Glasgow Airport is located 22 mi from the property. Guests can unwind at the Vital Leisure & Spa center, which features a gym, an 18‑yard swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and luxurious spa facilities. The hotel on site offers a 4‑star dining experience with meals and snacks served throughout the day, perfect for guests who want a break from self‑catering. The traditional bar overlooks the grounds and the scenic surroundings, with a spacious outdoor patio ideal for relaxing with a drink.
