Thank you Ann, Kathy and the team for a wonderful couple of days staying at your lovely hotel. We enjoyed everything about it. The room was fabulous, as was the service and the food. We look forward to coming back and would heartily recommend anyone reading this to stay there. More

We only had one free night to stay there in a busy work schedule in the north - and it was just what we needed. Warm welcome, very comfortable room and excellent food. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. More

We had a birthday celebration here in May 2011. The private dining room was perfect with a rectangular shaped table where it was possible to talk to everyone. The venue and setting is fantastic. We were able to bring our own music - nothing was a problem for the staff. The food was excellent and the service was very efficient.... More

This is how it should be. Charming, not super smart, with good wooden doors and slightly scuffed furniture. Large bedrooms with antique furniture and fireplaces, and modern large bathrooms. Excellent food served by charming local waitresses. Cosy bar with a huge selection of whiskies. Best of all is the sparky manageress who manages both you and the hotel with verve... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night and had high hopes after seeing the lovely pictures on the website, but sadly the hotel did not live up to this for us. On the plus side it is situated in lovely grounds and has a lot of period charm. The bed in our room was comfortable and the en-suite... More

We had a three day mid week break at “The Forss House Hotel”. We were greeted on arrival by Anne, who deserves the reputation of being a helpful, warm and professional lady. The room and meals were of a five star standard and could not be faulted. We had the added bonus of, by chance, meeting some old friends. A... More

Wanted a quiet night ahead of a trip to Orkney but hotel not quite what I expected. Room a little small with 'old world' charm and furnishings. Lots of noise from banging doors and extremely hot in night - no air con or ventilation. Didn't sample the evening meal after being put off by the menu - not enough choice.... More

We had one night in this very comfortable, luxurious, understated 4star hotel. The location with the Forss river running through it, made it really special for me as did the terrific cuisine. Our stay in this charming place was exemplified by the attention given to to us by Ann , our host, who is a very special lady and a... More
