Fforest Barn

Retreats

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.

The accommodation in the main building offers a stylish selection of double, twin and bunk rooms,  while outdoors the choice extends to hand-painted gypsy caravans, an ecopod, a cabin and a luxury safari tent. There is also a two bedroomed, fully equipped log cabin for teachers accommodation close to the main house. Also outdoors, looking out over the mountains, is a yoga field, a hot tub, Eagle’s landing –  a covered ceremonial space in the hot spot with a 50 mile view – and a tree house for treatments –  Thai masseurs are available if required.

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.

The Old Barn living room has four sofas around the central fire – a great space to hang out in the evenings.

The dining tables in the kitchen area can comfortably  seat 16 people with options up to 24.
