Guest Reviews
Location and room all great. Hotel has a very relaxed atmosphere and in a great location. Food was very good at dinner I. The evening as was breakfast.
The location was remote and quiet just as we wanted. The beds were comfy, nice big room, decent bathroom. Breakfast was nice but didn’t have dinner.
The room was really hot but there was a fan.

Nothing
Ein richtig schönes, altehrwürdiges Anwesen mitten im Wald. Drinnen gibt es viele alte Bilder und Uhren zu entdecken, was dem Ganzen einen besonderen Charme verleiht. Das Restaurant ist übrigens auch richtig gut.
Da das Hotel ausserhalb von Forss liegt, ist man auf das Auto angewiesen. Die Hotelbar ist zwar gut ausgestattet, aber es ist schwierig eine Bedienung zu bekommen.
Interesting old hunting fishing lodge. Breakfast was lovely and we had very attentive service. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom showers were very nice.
Check in was frustrating. They did not have a reservation in my name even though they had been paid by me via booking.com Finally found it under the name of one of the other guests in our party. We were a party of 4 and had asked to be near one another. When we finally were taken to one of the cottages, we were told that we needed to get in a car to drive to the other one. We went back to the main lodge to see if we couldn't get place nearer one another. We were told that was not possible even though two guests checked in ahead of us having only booked one room and were given two rooms. Claimed that it was booking.com that had not given us rooms together, that the 3rd party only had certain rooms.
Expensive food and lodging for what was delivered.
This was one of the best stays we had during the NC 500. The grounds are lovely, the bar and food are tops, and the staff pleasant and professional. Our room was separate from the main building, which we liked, and oh so quiet. We took the ferry to Orkney and did an organized tour. Highly recommend this. It was all ideal!
We booked a room in the hotel not in a cottage
nearby seperated from the hotel.
Due to booking.com.
The dining/breakfast room with garden view. Forss House is beautiful. Food was very good (dinner + breakfast), personnel very friendly. Free parking.
Upon arrival we were informed that we won´t be staying IN Forss House but close-by in an apartment, walk-way approx. 3 minutes. Considering that this stay was the most expensive of all our trip, I was disappointed. The apartment was OK, consisted of beautiful bath room, nice bed room with a too-small-bed and a living room where we did have a sofa but no chair. In my opinion the living room was not cozy at all and surely did not meet the standard of what I though I had booked. In the hotel they told me that - if I had booked directly with them - they would have told me that I won´t be staying IN Forss House, but in an apartment.
Nice quiet, warm, big room. We were in The Falls, a separate "cottage". It might have been cosier and more special to have stayed in the older main building which had a lovely, very "Scottish" feel..Nearby nice walk along the river to the beach (although it was too wet to do when we were there).
Far too expensive for what you get. In fact we realised they were charging a lot less on the day for rooms than we had paid when we booked well in advance. They could at least have given us breakfast! Dinner was a bit disappointing. We were charged over £ 200 for just 2 nicely cooked but nothing out of the ordinary, smallish portions 3 course meals with no wine and were seated by the kitchen door in a rather chilly conservatory with little atmosphere.
Nice old historic house
Bed uncomfortable. No support in pillows. Window held open with piece of wood. Staff flat upstairs and noise of creaking floors and furniture moving kept us awake most of the night 😟
Everything is good standard - rooms are clean, breakfast is good
A bit overpriced, especially dinner
Really in a pretty location, great walks especially down to the beach from the hotel and the main house is enchanting. The staff are a real asset and we adored dinner and pre-dinner drinks. Really made the place work.
Our room was a little tired, one day they forgot to hoover and bed wasn’t really properly made, I won’t show photo as it will put people off which I don’t want to do, as the hotel is nice. We had hoped to fish in the local river but that’s no longer possible but views and grounds are really lovely
Great location and friendly, helpful staff
Staff were lovely. The grounds are well kept. Bed was comfy
The place is old and tired and needs about £3 million spending on it to fix everything and make it look good. For example our patio doors didn't lock, the shower was blocked, only one lamp in the room worked.
