My partner and I came here for a 3 night stay. We stayed in the room named Hafren which was a good size and had a large comfortable 4 poster bed along with a television viewing area. The room was luxuriously fitted out with everything we could have possibly needed. The grounds were immaculately maintained and Paul and Michelle were... More

We stayed at the Forest recently and loved every second of it. I could not even begin to share the most enjoyable experience there because words alone would not do it justice. The most beautiful setting, generous size rooms and facilities, excellent hosts in Paul and Michelle (Paul kept me company and Michelle made me tea whilst i was waiting... More

We spent 2 lovely days and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. We slept in a very spacious room with a 4 poster-bed! which was extremely comfortable. We went for lovely walks which took us over hills and into Kerry. The hosts were very welcoming. There were lots of things to do on-site.

Me and my family have just returned from a long weekend break here, 08/05/12. We stayed in the new Forest Lodge wooden cabin. We had a lovely relaxing weekend, the cabin was luxury, had everything we needed and more. Lovely couple running things and very accomodating, the kids fed the animals and loved the adventure playground and other facilities. Surrounding... More

I came with my family to Wales as part of a few days escape from the hustle and bustle of a busy urban life style and I wasn't disappointed! We stayed in the Forest Byre cottage - everything we could possibly want and more for a relaxing and very comfortable stay. The cottage is very well-appointed - you felt you... More

We stayed the weekend and had a wonderful time in a very well appointed room that includes a very comfortable bed and fully fitted walk in shower. The house is full of fine features including a traditional lounge where we spent several fun hours playing bagatelle. Michelle and Paul looked after us extremely well with delicious food. Highly recommended.

A beautiful location, a warm welcome from Michelle, some interesting books and objects including Paul's astronomic telescope. We were recommended by them to the Kerry Lamb - a straightforward good local inn.

Beautiful house and gardens, welcoming owners and very comfortable rooms. Loved the suit of armour in the hall and would have experimented with the star-gazing telescope if we had had longer. Add to this a short flat bike ride to an excellent pub in Ceri, and it would be difficult to know what else to ask for! We were cycling... More

The Forest nestles in a secluded valley surrounded by sheep fields and partly wooded hillsides. You reach it along narrow winding lanes with high banks topped by ancient hedges and huge old oak trees, but only a few minutes from the main road to Newtown. We stayed two nights and could happily have made it a week. At first sight... More
