Forss House Hotel, Autumn and Winter Weekend Break Itinerary

From late September Autumn starts to put its mark on the land with changing light & colours. The walking & wildlife remains spectacular, the fishermen squeeze in the last few casts of the season while the golfers continue to tackle the challenges of true links golf. If you like to ride, then explore the land on horse back!

Indoors the fires are inviting, the beauty treatments relaxing and the whisky a comforting companion. The evenings bring the very best of the season’s local produce to the table at Forss House, with such ingredients the flavours speak for themselves. Then just marvel at the big skies filled with stars to explore and the possibility of the Northern Lights putting in an appearance.
