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, available to feed your guests the tastiest and most nutritious food. Please see Fforest Mountain for details and to order produce for your retreat. We greatly appreciate your support.

The accommodation in the main building offers a stylish selection of double, twin and bunk rooms, while outdoors the choice extends to an ecopod, included in all retreats, and a garden chefs shed close to the kitchen. From May to September, we have two hand-painted gypsy caravans, a shepherd hut (the Vision), and a treehouse. The new Teachers woodshed with en-suite shower room can be added to your retreat rental all year round.

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 new wood fired salt box sauna and natural water ecopool will be available to rent from mid-April – pricing details coming soon. The facilities also include a steam room, and a large function space/yoga studio in the Dutch Barn.

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 meditations.

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.

For larger gatherings extra local accommodation in a railway carriage and shepherd’s hut within walking distance for up to 4 further participants can be rented independently via airbnb, accommodation links can be provided on request.

There is some camping space in Fforest Glen with access to bathroom facilities in the entrance area as well as the eco-loo.

Gatherings and celebrations can make use of the indoor/outdoor area of the Courtyard and Dutch barn living room, fully set up with AV facilities, the patio, and the double garage for outside entertainment.

There is parking for eight cars, and more using the parking area in the Fforest Glen glamping field.

Retreats and events can be fully catered for when hiring our recommended chefs. You can also bring your own chef. It is a great place to make healthy food together, supported by produce from our ‘beyond’ organic Food Fforest. We also grow fantastic flowers. We require all retreats to use our home grown produce to help support the farm. See Fforest Mountain to find out more and place an order.
