      A break becomes extra-special when it’s spent in a loving group of family or friends.

Or of course, you can simply while away those hours on your deck, surrounded by the serenity of fforest farm.

      What the guests of Fforest Farm say

      “My girlfriend and I had a great weekend at Fforest. We loved the
      freedom and relaxed atmosphere. The highlight was lighting the fire in the
      on-site pub on a blustery February night! A beautiful experience. We’ll be back
      in Summer and will tell our friends. Thanks.”

      “Our first stay at Fforest camp and what a stay it was! We had wanted
      to come along to Fforest Gather in the summer but things got in the way and
      when we saw all the amazing things that had happened there we just had to come
      and see for ourselves. As soon as you all in and are met by fairy lights you
      know it’s going to be great! The dome was amazing, the facilities are fab and
      the staff are so friendly and really positive. The children made some great
      friends and we were able to relax and enjoy the atmosphere surrounding the fire
      pit outside the pub each evening. To top it off, the last supper was stunning.
      Not only did it look beautiful, it’s tasted beautiful too! Fresh sprats and a
      chat with the Fforest Chief followed by delicious smoked mackerel and barbecued
      chicken (or the veggie option for us) and rice pudding were experiences we
      never thought we’d have. The children are already asking when we can come back
      and we are hoping to book in for next years Fforest Gather and possibly our
      wedding too! Thanks for a magnificent stay.”

      “One of the best holidays I have ever been on. A very inspiring, simple
      and extraordinary place for adults and kids!”
