My husband and I were up in Forfar for a 40th Birthday Party so we arrived just after 4.00pm. We were met by Valerie and her husband Ben who own the pub and the B & B. We were made extremely welcome and were shown our accommodation which was lovely. I was a bit worried as to the road noise... More

First of all, we felt less than welcome by the hosts. Maybe we caught her/them on a bad day, but if it hadn't been so late in the day, we would have left. The room was clean, the bathroom was adequate. But both had such strong Air Wick scents, I asked them to be removed. I could hardly breathe! Thankfully... More

This is a lovely guest house with clean, fresh, modern rooms and comfy beds. Next door to the pub but no nosie and the pub is really nice. Great hosts and awesome breakfast. Couldn't fault the place. Best accommodation in Forfar!!

Stayed for one night, the room was small and smelt quite damp. the tea and coffee had been there for a while. You get what you pay for I suppose, we would probably stay at one of the numerous farmhouse bed and breakfast next time we're up there.

Stayed here recently with the family whilst attending a family wedding in the 'toon'. Comfortable rooms,good location and great breakfast. Highly recommended. Don't be put off by the fact you are next to a pub-see it as a distinct advantage as the Zoar is a friendly easy going pub-and you are very unlikely to be bothered by noise etc.Can't see... More

The room was very modern, very clean, comfortable with all the usual stuff, tea/coffee making etc. Parking was easy and the hosts could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was huge, freshly cooked and delicious. Can't wait to stay there again !

Zoar Guest House and Inn is located in a little town of Forfar and it was one of the only places around that we could find good reviews on that was close to the Glamis Castle. The town of Forfar is very lovely. Make sure you try the famous Forfar Bridie - it's a half-moon shaped pastry filled with different... More
