Forss House Hotel

Part of our travels along the NC500. We travelled up from Fort Augustus via John O'Groats, and as a road trip, (without unnecessary stops) the timing was perfect, as we arrived as the room was ready. The building is a lovely old villa/manor type house, in a secluded spot. The car park is extensive, and excellent. There is an easy walk dawn to the beach across fields, where you will find an old chapel ruin. Decor is exactly right for a Scottish house of this stature. Our bedroom was comfortable and with a modern en suite. The bar and dining room are well set out but what really impresses is the dining conservatory, where we took dinner and breakfast. The view belies the remoteness of this place, because surrounded by trees, it looks like a woodland paradise. Staff were excellent and welcoming. The food and presentation was outstanding. Highly recommended.

Forss House is a lovely getaway spot. Beautiful historic home in a wonderful country setting. Stayed here 20 years ago and really enjoyed it. Still maintains its high standards. Rooms are spacious, quiet and well appointed. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Lovely bar with a great selection of whisky and gin. Meals are superb. We’ll be back. Our highest recommendation.

Booked afternoon tea as a treat for my husband. Evan welcomed us to the Forss House Hotel and quickly ushered us to our awaiting table. We were served a wonderful selection of finger sandwiches, warm scones, toasty sausage rolls, fancy cakes, shortbread, as well as sugary confectionary. Every single item was a delight and it was relished by both myself and husband. A number of other guests were in the dining room also having afternoon tea and every table was checked a number of times that we had everything we needed as well as continual offerings to replenish the tea and coffee. Forss House Hotel and Evan did us all proud. If you want a very special afternoon tea then this is the place to go.

Traditional Scottish hotel with a lovely theme of Fly Fishing, hunting and stag head decor, that welcomes you upon arrival - Then as you walk through you come across the impressive clock wall. The bar has an array of Whisky and comfy seating, Restaurant is quaint, and dinner was delicious. |Our room was lovely with an impressive bathroom. Breakfast was great and I loved the breakfast waitress with her Scottish Banter :) |Make sure you go and have a look at the water falls for perfect picture opportunities!

This is one of those places that just does everything so well. It’s not pretentious but full of charm. The food is stunning and that includes presentation, quality and taste! Breakfast equally amazing. Couple that with great staff and top with a fab room (we were in Hairy Mary a garden room as we had a dog) and it was a win win. It’s not cheap but somehow you don’t care… we would definitely come back!

I stayed at Forss House in around 1992 for an extended stay while working at a nearby power plant. What a treat that was for me. The bar is wonderful and I learned so much about Scotch, too much maybe :) The hotel holds a warm spot in my heart and brings back many wonderful memories of exploring that part of Scotland, far to the north,

Wonderful hotel with very friendly staff. We stayed in the fishermen’s cottages which were lovely and spacious and the beds very comfy. The bar area is very welcoming and the breakfast was one of the best we’ve had for some time. My only small regret was the restaurant only offered an expensive tasting menu - pricing us out unfortunately

We stayed on a dinner, bed and breakfast package. The staff were very frienly and helpful, the room was clean, the bed and pillows were lovely and soft on my old joints! The meal was fantastic and we had a lovely walk to see the mill from all angles.|My only complaint was that the room was very hot, even with the window open!|I would say do this, it was worth every penny.

we are in the river house, it's charming with a beautiful garden, birds flying about their business, salmon jumping about and wild flowers stretching out toward the sun. The bar in the main house is amazing as is the restaurant. All the staff are warm and friendly. we are here for 3 days, wish it was a week
