Most of the places are modest in size. You will find a handful of two bedroom cabins for 4, a few three bedroom lodges for 4 to 6, and then a jump to a five bedroom house for 10 and a seven bedroom property for 16. Almost all of them are in Forfar itself rather than spread across the surrounding villages. Small cabins at the lower end of the budget range sit alongside much dearer group lodges, so the choice of budgets is wide for a town of this size. If you are a couple, check the one bedroom option first, as there is only one.

Forfar sits in Angus, inland from the coast and close to the Angus glens, and its lodges suit families and groups more than couples. The average place sleeps 6, and the largest takes 16, with seven bedrooms, a sauna and an indoor pool. Smaller cabins for 4 are easy to find too, and a few sleep just 2.
Prices vary a lot from one place to the next. The usual night is dearer than the cheapest option by a wide margin, and the big group houses sit far above the small dog friendly cabins. A log burner is found in half of the places, and 30% have a hot tub. Seven in ten accept pets, which makes Forfar practical if you are travelling with a dog. Guests rate the places 8.8 out of 10 on average.
Nine in ten places have a garden, so outdoor space is almost a given. A log burner or fireplace comes with half of them, and those places are usually dearer than the typical stay. Hot tubs are fitted at three places, which is 30%, and they are usually found in the larger lodges for 6 or more. The sauna and the swimming pool are both at the same single property, the biggest and dearest in town. One place has fishing and one has a children's play area, so families with young children have a short list to choose from.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 9 | 90% | £245 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 5 | 50% | £351 |
| Hot tub | 3 | 30% | £250 |
| High chair | 3 | 30% | £462 |
| Sauna | 1 | 10% | £816 |
| Swimming pool | 1 | 10% | £816 |
| Fishing | 1 | 10% | £240 |
| Children's play area | 1 | 10% | £116 |
Stays for 3 to 4 guests are the most common size, with five places and two bedrooms each. They are the cheapest way to stay in Forfar, and the cost per person is low once you split it between four. Larger groups pay more per night, but the cost per head can come down if you fill every bed in a place for 10 or more. Couples have less choice, so book early if you want a small cabin for 2. For a group of 6, expect to pay noticeably more than for a cabin for 4.

February is the dearest month in the coming half year, with January and December close behind. November is cheaper, and March and April are the cheapest of the six months. Availability follows the same pattern. April has the most free nights, while December has the fewest, so winter holidays fill up first. If you want a lower price and more choice of dates, spring is the better time. Winter weeks cost noticeably more than weeks outside winter.

| November 2026 | £242 | 47% |
| December 2026 | £273 | 37% |
| January 2027 | £279 | 47% |

Brechin and Kirriemuir are both small towns, so they suit a quiet break. Dundee and Arbroath give you a city or a seafront close by.
