Overview

Forss House is a delightful 1810 country home nestling in 20 acres of woodland, below a waterfall, on the gently meandering River Forss. In truth there can be few finer spots to linger in the big sky country; a place where time always seems to be on your side.

Join us for work, to fish the rivers & coastline, explore the rugged countryside, marvel at the diverse wildlife that inhabits this unspoilt land, immerse yourself in the history & culture that surrounds you, play golf on one of the many James Braid designed links courses, hunt & stalk, go riding, taste the thrills of mountain biking and white water rides, a little pampering to detox & de-stress, or simply curl up in front of the roaring log fire with that book you've been meaning to read……… whatever, the choice is always yours.

Awarded 2 AA Rosettes and open to non-residents, Forss House boasts one of the finest restaurants in the north Highlands set in the elegant Dining Room of this most welcoming Georgian country home. Dine on the season’s freshest local produce straight from the rivers, coastline & estates that surround us.In truth there can be few finer spots to linger in the big sky country; a place where time always seems to be on your side.
