“1 native, 5 non-natives”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Great resort, great location.

Stayed in a cabin with a balcony looking toward the restaurant, over the middle pond. Beautiful, serene atmosphere. Two floors with good space, pleasantly fixtured and good quality appliances. Great furnishing.

Restaurant and bar we great - clean, staff were friendly, good food. Resort acitivities were accessible - everything on your door step and again, staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with. Golf course is only 9 holes, and they're short at that, but it's extremely fun, for what it is. I'm a long hitter, but the shortness didn't detract from the fun - rather, that had me take on some more fun "go-for-it" shots.

Proximity to Dundee, but still out in the wilds, means best of both worlds - bucolic, yet no more than 10 minutes from re-supply.

Missing "star" is for the bottle caps and other crud found on the balcony. Not a big deal, but it left a bad taste.

Overall, highly recommended. I plan to be back.

First visit to Forbes of Kingennie for my wife's 40th Birthday with friends. Accomodation in the Bard's Neuk Lodge was fantastic. We all enjoyed the surrounings and had a great weekend. Booked table in restaurant on Saturday evening and had a excellent meal. Will definately be back. Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, great value and would highly recommend.

“Excellent Wedding Venue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

My son married at Forbes of Kingennie in October. The extensive family, from England, rented most of the accommodation on site, from the large lodges by the lake to the smaller ones in the woodland area. They were all comfortable with high quality furnishings.

The family made good use of the facilities on site, the grounds were extensive and well maintained.

The attention to detail, of the wedding ceremony itself, was extremely good.

Special thanks to Elizabeth, Colin and Maureen. These were the 'front of house' staff with whom I had most contact with and who were always helpful, both before the event and on the actual day. Thanks to all the staff behind the scenes who contributed to the occasion running smoothly, it was evident that Forbes of Kingennie operates very much as a team effort. Jan Liverpool

“Pleasant surroundings, good quality accommodation helpful and friendly staff.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

We booked one of the larger lodges with distant views over the golf course.

The large open plan living room worked well for relaxing and dining with such a large party. The kids loved the space which gave the adults a chance to relax.

Lovely walks around the grounds. Tried a bit of fishing. One of the guys who supplied the rods came over to see how we were getting on and even gave me a fly fishing lesson and I caught a trout.

We had an excellent stay.
