If you’re looking for the most unique dining experience in Wales, I need to tell you about the Fforest Feast. Fforest Farm sits on 200 acres of woodland by the River Teifi, near Cardigan in West Wales ,and a few times a year, they host long-table feasts that are genuinely some of the best food I’ve eaten anywhere in the country. Not just best food in Wales. Anywhere. We went for a weekend with chef Ben Allen, and the feast he put together felt like a love letter to Wales. Local Dewi James lamb, fresh crab, seasonal produce pulled from the land and sea around him,cooked over fire, served with care, and presented without any of the fussiness that sometimes gets in the way of food this good. Long tables. Candles. Flowers. Fire cooking. Wine. Strangers becoming people you’re glad you met. It felt like a wedding, but one you actually want to be at. The setting does something to you. You’re eating in a place that feels ancient and alive at the same time, woodland, river, firelight, the smell of something good cooking over flame. No one’s rushing you. No one’s checking the time. You just eat, drink, talk, and completely forget whatever was stressing you out last week. Fforest run different feasts and food experiences throughout the year — and if this is something you’ve been searching for, whether that’s an outdoor dining experience in Wales, a fire-cooked feast in West Wales, a food weekend near Cardigan, or just somewhere to eat really, really well without it feeling stiff or staged check out their website and see what’s coming up. @fforest It’s worth the trip. It’s worth planning your whole weekend around. It’s the kind of meal you’ll still be talking about when you get home. Save this. You’ll want it. 📍 Fforest Farm, Cardigan, West Wales #WalesFood #BestRestaurantsWales #WestWales #FforestFarm #DiningExperienceWales​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Glimmers Tiny moments of happiness to notice that always make you feel good. The sound of birdsong. Watching drifting clouds in the sky. A smile, a kind face. Flowers bobbing in the breeze. The sound of laughter. Wellness, woodland, nature, stay, play, dream.

❤️ Still coming back to Earth after the most amazing week connecting with fellow @dryrobe ambassadors and team! I was asked to feed back 3 words to describe the first ever ambassador camp. Inspiring. Connecting. Affirming. AND FUN! ❤️ I so loved hearing the authentic passion and dedication from the team to creating the best, most functional and durable kit which will genuinely enable people to get outside, and was delighted to hear about the new biodegradable PURE which was released last week. 👏 @djuanesoomoodra 💚 Affirming to discuss shared values, and hear about commitments to continue supporting charities and orgs through the Warmth Project, including our @seafulcharity 🌊 SO inspiring to meet these amazing ambassadors and to come away with a cup full and new friends to have adventures with 🥰 🐋 And just so lovely to escape and have some fun for a few days. Joy is an act of resistance and it felt so good to be outdoors adventuring together. Thanks so much team @dryrobe and everyone who made it such a special week ❤️ #dryrobeterritory #teamdryrobe #dryrobe #protectwhatyoulove #bethechange

One of the most unusual stays I’ve done in Wales, and I mean that in the best possible way. Ad| We stayed at Fforest Farm near Cardigan in West Wales for a weekend of food, nature, wood-fired hot tubs, sauna, cold dips, woodland walks, and the kind of peace you don’t realise you need until you’re in it. It’s 200 acres of woodland by the River Teifi, with cabins, domes, a farmhouse, communal spaces, a tiny stone pub, and proper food cooked over fire. Not “nice enough for a staycation” food. Really, really good food. We stayed in a crogloft, where the kitchen is outside, so your morning coffee happens stood in the trees instead of scrolling in bed. Which, frankly, did wonders for my brain and made me briefly believe I was a calmer person. The whole place feels like a proper Welsh retreat, but not in a forced wellness way. No one is making you meditate. No one is handing you a juice and asking about your intentions. Thank God. You just slow down. You walk through the woods. You hear the birds. You notice light through the trees. You sit in the hot tub. You wander to the sauna. You chat to people in the little pub, or you don’t. Both feel completely right. We went for the Fforest Feast with Ben Allen, and honestly, if you’re looking for a food-led weekend in Wales, this is the one I’d book. Long tables, candles, flowers, fire cooking, seasonal produce, bread and Welsh butter, wine flowing, people chatting, and no one checking the time. If you’re searching for one of the best places to stay in West Wales, a nature retreat in Wales, a dog-friendly stay near Cardigan, a romantic weekend away in Wales, a foodie staycation, a glamping-style escape without the cliché, or somewhere to switch off properly, Fforest is worth looking at. They run different weekends and experiences throughout the year, but if you’re asking me, book the Fforest Feast weekend. Stay over, eat well, sit in the trees, wear the comfy clothes, forget the noise for a bit. We escaped real life for a little while, and it was bloody wonderful. Save this for your next West Wales weekend away. @fforest #WestWales #WalesStaycation #VisitWales #CardiganWales #RetreatWales

Behind the scenes, there are many hands. Fforest weddings are shaped by the people who bring them to life and last weekend was no exception. Thank you to our chefs, gardeners, florists, waiters, detail-keepers, problem-solvers, and the last-minute fixers who make it all hold together. A shared effort, quietly delivered, to create your special day 🤍🌿 Diolch i chi gyd x [in-house photography]* #team #fforestweddings #westwales #outdoorwedding #woodlandwedding
