| Aberfoyle
Holidays was originally involved in promoting rental and self catering
cottages in and around the Aberfoyle and the Trossachs area. At
the same time we started selling timeshare weeks for Forest Hills
owners, which is a timeshare resort based close by. This caused
an increase in visitors asking us to act as an agent for the resale
of their own timeshare weeks around the world.Although Aberfoyle
Holidays is now a worldwide timeshare resale company our roots are
firmly in the beautiful Trossachs area. So anybody wanting to visit
this place of natural beauty, please find below some places of interest
for you and your family to visit.We are open Monday to Friday 9am
to 5pm and offer a friendly face to face service. Alternatively
we can be reached on +44(0)1877382390, fax +44(0)1877 382394, or

Not only do we provide a great service in selling
timeshares worldwide. We also have a timeshare and non-timeshare
self catering holiday rental program. We offer free registration
to all of our resale customers, only taking a commission on the
completion of the sale.Therefore they are safe in the knowledge
that we are actively trying to market their weeks.Buying a resale
entitles you to the same ownership rights and benefits as a new
purchase. Most importantly it allows you to save a considerable
amount in comparison to the prices charged by the developers for
their new weeks.Places of Historic InterestStirling
