fforest is a 200-acre farm in west Wales, bordered by a wild nature reserve and the river Teifi, which offers the ideal location for a rural and remote escape, within striking distance of beautiful beaches and coves, close by the increasingly popular market town of Cardigan, which is a refuge for creatives.
Family run and renowned for its relaxed, friendly vibe, the fforest site has a range of accommodation options from traditional Welsh crog lofts, to spacious geodesic domes with Japanese-style onsen outdoor baths. There’s a wood-fired sauna in the trees and a Wale’s smallest stone pub selling locally brewed beer and gin.
Self-cater with local produce and takeaways from the onsite shop, or get together for fforest’s famous community breakfasts and suppers featuring barbeques or wood-fired pizzas.
fforest’s winning combination of comfort, cool and community is helping to put nearby Cardigan on the map with the recent opening of The Albion luxury hotel in a former warehouse, the revival of a traditional pub opposite, and the much-loved Pizzatipi riverside pizza restaurant, plus pop-up menus featuring talented local chefs.
On the coast, fforest runs a separate, smaller campsite, offering fully self-catered accommodation ranging from a farmhouse to geodesic domes and cabins, a short walk from the award-winning Penbryn beach. New to the group, The Boy Ashore, in Aberporth is a beach bar and snack shack serving freshly caught lobster rolls, crab sandwiches, fish and chips, accompanied by fforest brewed beers and signature craft cocktails.
Summer activities include hill and gorge walks, running trails, wild swimming, canoeing, coasteering, climbing, surfing, dolphin watching boat trips, and more with local providers.
An extra programme of creative and family adventure events onsite this summer including Gather holidays (29 July – 4 August, or 5-11 August), GLOW 20 June, GLOW Create for crafts 26 September, GLOW Sewing retreat 3 October, is already proving popular.
James Lynch, fforest founder said: “We encourage people to explore their own backyard, appreciate the beauty of our land and slow down a little. We believe we offer something truly unique here at fforest and cannot wait to share our Welsh secret this summer.”
