Croeso i The Forest

Welcome to The Forest

Hidden in the beautiful Vale of Kerry lies The Forest; a splendid Victorian country house set in 4 acres of attractive gardens and paddocks. The tranquil setting makes it the perfect place in which to relax and an ideal base from which to explore the many attractions of Mid Wales including Powis Castle National Trust. Less than a mile away is Kerry village which has a pub serving food and it is a 5 minute drive from Newtown. On the border of Powys and Shropshire, The Forest is an ideal hideaway for a relaxing break away from the rush and bustle.

The Forest opened as a Bed and Breakfast in June 2008 and offers 4 star luxury bed and breakfast accommodation in 5 charming en-suite double rooms, one with a four-poster bed. All the bedrooms and the spacious drawing room have fine views of the garden and the Kerry Valley.

The house

The Forest is approached from a quiet lane on a gravel drive leading to the main entrance where there is ample parking.

Children of all ages are welcome and there is an outside play area, toy boxes and DVDs. A games room with pool and table football will open this autumn.

The Forest's secluded setting

The Forest, along with its self catering cottages, nestles in a narrow valley bordered by Gilfach woods and the little river Mule. Our quiet lane hardly sees any traffic apart from the odd tractor.

If you wish to bring dogs or horses then we have kennels and stables available in adjacent outbuildings.

Gardens and Tennis court

The gardens which everyone is welcome to enjoy, were laid out over many decades by gardeners with a real passion for planting. There are ancient yew trees, colourful azaleas and rhododendrons, rare acers and a wonderful magnolia.

You can sit in the garden and watch the abundant wildlife or take a stroll through our woodland by the pond. The Forest has a tennis court for everyone's enjoyment.

There is a lot to see and do in this beautiful area of The Marches in Mid Wales including walking, cycling, golf, horse riding, castles to explore and pretty villages and towns. The Forest's central location and good road links makes it an ideal base with easy driving to Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Chester, Ludlow Machynlleth and Builth Wells. Slightly further away lie the beautiful Brecon Beacons, the breathtaking Snowdonia and the beaches of Cardigan Bay.

We plan to make your stay with us enjoyable and memorable and look forward to welcoming you to our home.
