Forest Hills Hotel takes wraps off makeover

The Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel & Spa in Aberfoyle has completed a £3.5 million renovation.

The four-star venue, owned by Bathgatebased Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, said all 50 bedrooms have been revamped along with its cocktail bar, piano lounge, reception and restaurant.

The refurbishment, which has seen all guest rooms equipped with flatscreen TVS and free wifi, comes after an extension of the Perthshire hotel’s spa facilities in 2007. General manager Andrew Deighan said it was an “exciting time” for the hotel, which is a popular venue for weddings and conferences.

Macdonald Hotels & Resorts operates 55 hotels across the UK, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. l Five-star resort Cameron House has announced the opening of its new Great Scots Bar Terrace overlooking Loch Lomond.

Architectural firm 3Dreid oversaw the design and build of the project, while Greyline Design managed the furniture and fixtures.
