Fforest Full Description

The 200 acres of fforest farm are part of an area of unspoilt natural beauty, wrapped in woods, wildlife and wonder. The farm is flanked on one side by the Teifi Marshes nature reserve and on the other, Cilgerran gorge, through which the magnificent river Teifi flows down to our local town of Cardigan and the Irish sea beyond. fforest Farm has been created as a place to enjoy the simplicity, pleasures and beauty of outdoor living in an outstanding natural environment. With its private tiny stone pub, large communal firepit and secret woodland sauna, a choice of event spaces from giant hat tipis, garden pavilions and dining and party barns, fforest Farm is yours for the weekend. fforest is located in north Pembrokeshire minutes from the Cardigan Bay Coast. The venue consists of a variety of indoor and outdoor locations, as well as on-site serviced accommodation for 130+ ranging from a grand Georgian 5 bed, 5 bathroom farmhouse to 20ft diameter geodesic domes (guests pay separately for their accommodation). The site also features a large communal firepit, a cedar barrel sauna and is adjacent to the River Teifi perfect for some pre-breakfast wild swimming. fforest holds a licence for intimate civil ceremonies in our lodge, Bwthyn pub or garden pavilion. Our giant hat tipis seat 80 to 120 guests for a personalised humanist wedding celebration.

"still on cloud nine"
Simon and I returned home from our honeymoon yesterday and, even though we're back at work today, we're still on cloud nine after an amazing wedding and honeymoon. We both wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to you all at Fforest for an absolutely magical weekend. Your help and support in the run up to and during the weekend itself made it a complete success with absolutely no dramas. We've had so many compliments and kind words from our guests, specifically relating to Fforest Farm and how fantastic the entire experience was. All of our guests had a blast and Simon and I both agree that it was without a doubt the best weekend of our lives. You all played a huge part in the success so thank you!

"trapped in a bubble of joy!"
I am trapped in a bubble of joy - cheesy I know! THANK YOU so much to everyone at Fforest for a truly wonderful wedding party - it was the best 3 days ever! We were so lucky because there was only one other couple so it actually felt like we had exclusive use - haha! Fforest knocked everyones socks off and it enabled Adrian and I to be true to ourselves and do everything our way! Sending so much gratitude to Fliss who was a breath of fresh air and Jenny who was so helpful and relaxed! We loved the pizza party farmhouse vibe we were able to create the evening before (!!) and the Bwythn brought me absolute joy - I can't describe to you the tingles I got from that place!! Big thanks to the chef; EVERYONE was raving about the food. I mean I knew it was going to be good but wow!! Also absolute bonus that we had a box full of leftover cheese, crackers and carrot cakes (!!) to take to our 'honeymoon' cottage further up the coast - talk about value for money!

"go down in history"
We just got married at Fforest Farm and it will go down in history with us and all of our guests as the greatest wedding that has ever happened! This is largely down to Fforest as a whole but particularly the accommodation, which was comfortable, interesting, cosy and special; the staff, who were kind, attentive, relaxed, helpful and sweet; the pub, which is obviously perfect; Kelly & Paula, who guided us through the organisation with patience and good humour; lastly, Sian, James and Jackson, who have created a space which is magical and filled with love which is clearly filtering from the top down to the very bottom. Thank you Fforest for helping us to make our wedding vision a reality. We can’t wait to return!

We literally had the BEST weekend...
I’m not sure where to start with the thanks - we literally had the BEST weekend… My Mum said it was the best time of her life 😂 One guest said that she left the world at the gate and felt cocooned in a magical and welcoming hub of beautifulness for the weekend. The guests loved it, the family loved it and the dogs loved it! The food!! Your staff are incredible and we can’t thank you enough for allowing us to do all the little extras we wanted so that we had the dream wedding.

I just want to keep reliving it
Thank you so much! It was absolutely the best day and I just want to keep reliving it. We had so much amazing feedback about the venue and a lot of people have said it was the 'best wedding ever!'. The main highlights from what I've heard were: - the weather!! - the food - absolutely all of it, but significantly the lamb at dinner and the coleslaw for lunch - the accommodation
