Or you could stay at the resort and head straight for the new Vital Health Club and Spa with its 18m pool, sauna, steamroom, gym and spa treatment rooms for a whole range of pleasantly lifting, brightening and firming procedures. There's also a children's club during school holidays. How do you get there? One party alighted on the lawn in their helicopter, but we chose the more discreet motor car. From Aberfoyle, follow the B829 (for Kinlochard), along the lochside to Forest Hills. If you take the train to Stirling station, Forest Hills is a 35-minute taxi ride away.What's the food like? A divine selection of ever-changing dishes that is so beautifully presented it's a shame to eat it. I did nevertheless manage to force down a starter of broccoli and brie pannacotta with oatcakes, followed by roast fillet of Shetland salmon and ending with banana-and-cardamom cheesecake, while the children feasted on a deluxe version of pizza, chips and peas, followed by home-made ice-cream, a description that doesn't do it justice.
