Mid-Week Breaks

Nestled in a sacred hotspot between four mountains and close to the evocative ruins of Llanthony Priory – the haunting remnants of one of the greatest buildings of medieval Wales – Fforest Barn is an idyllic location for a spirited nature connection experience. The retreat offers peace and tranquillity in a stunning wilderness landscape and has incredible views from inside and out, with amazing walking opportunities in each direction. We are also growing food – vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, eggs and flowers – with ‘beyond organic’ principles. Please see our Fforest Mountain Store when you are here but also to pre-order what you want.

The accommodation in the main building offers a stylish selection of double, twin and bunk rooms accommodating 9-10 people. Outdoors the choice includes an Ecopod, two hand-painted gypsy caravans, the ‘Vision’ shepherd hut with en-suite loo and underfloor heating, the Treehouse and the Woodshed (double or twin bed) with en-suite shower room, perfect for the teachers, providing accommodation for a further 9 people. In the winter months only the Woodshed, Ecopod and the Vision, accommodating 6, remain open. There is also the Chef’s Garden Shed close to the kitchen. This gives a maximum of 19 people in the summer and 16 people in the winter, including teacher’s accommodation and excluding chef’s accommodation.

Also outdoors, looking out over the mountains, is a yoga deck, a hot tub, Eagle’s landing – a ceremonial space in the hot spot with a 50-mile view – and a designated space for treatments – Local masseur’s details are available if required. Our wood fired salt box sauna and natural water ecopool is a hit with everyone (£25 a person, 4-5 at a time). The facilities also include a steam shower, and a large function space/yoga studio in the Dutch Barn, fully equipped with slide projector and 5 speaker sound system and black out blinds.

Fforest Barn is an ideal place to recharge your batteries and revitalise body and mind. Just 60 minutes from Bristol and Cardiff and 2.5 hours from London, it is easily accessible and well suited to host uplifting events and retreats.

Watch this film to get a taste of the place, also ideally for bringing your team together mid-week, as well as retreats.

The Dutch barn living room can accommodate a maximum of 14 people doing yoga or 24 theatre style seating, with a working floor space of 35 sq m. There are projection facilities and a very good quadrophonic sound system. The room can be opened up to include the outdoor Courtyard for events. The room can also be made dark for films and meditations.

There is also an outdoor yoga deck large enough for 20+ people, shaded in the morning and facing the setting sun, thus sunny in the afternoon sublime when the weather is right.
