"Great family stay – relaxing and enjoyable We had a lovely two-day family stay at Forest Pines Resort in August 2026. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and a great place for a short family break. The resort is set in a beautiful, peaceful environment, and there was plenty to enjoy as a family. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the facilities were good, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We particularly enjoyed the leisure facilities and the relaxed atmosphere of the resort. It was a good balance of relaxation and family time, and we left feeling refreshed. We would definitely consider staying at Forest Pines again and would recommend it to families looking for a pleasant short getaway."
