Sitting at the lodge

‘Wow! What a fantastic place—perfect views, perfect set up & perfect holiday. Have never seen such a beautiful starry sky. Don’t change the place, resist temptation to develop further—it is idyllic—you have it just right.’

 

‘What we have learnt this week is that the deer are very vocal, acorns are very bouncy when they hit the decking, and nothing can beat an open fire, good company in ace surroundings.’

 

about fforest 1 2

Staying at fforest is an experience more like
staying in a hotel than a tent,
a hotel with woodland
corridors and canvas rooms.
No TV, no mini bar, no trouser press:
Sleeping, living and eating under canvas.
With beauty, birdsong and cold-at-night

Our aim when conceiving the camp at fforest was to create a place to enjoy the simplicity, pleasures and beauty of living under canvas in an outstanding natural environment.

We thought that for most people, maybe there were bits that weren’t so much fun, like preparing breakfast on camping gaz in the rain first thing in the morning, like your head sliding off inflatable pillows, like wrestling with (and losing) collapsible bits ‘n’ bobs, like cold damp and slippery groundsheets, like mud.

At fforest you don’t have to deal with that stuff. We take away the hassle of preparation, setup and cooking by providing everything you will need to enjoy the best of the outdoor experience.

It’s still camping, but only the best bits. The birdsong alarm call, the bluebell walk to the bathroom, freshly brewed coffee in the morning, kids running through the fields with new found friends, a glass of locally brewed beer or cider at sundown, the sound of crickets at dusk, barbecued food and marshmallows over firepits.
