growing We like growing stuff at fforest

Our guests like helping us to grow and learning how to do it for themselves. for fforest dinner vegetables, ‘local’ means the garden to the table, all of 200 meters. if only our tomatoes were all the same shape…

What makes fforest. For Eden Project october 2011

learning Everything our guests do involves learning

The obvious: learn to bake, to paddle a sea kayak, grow vegetables, abseil a cliff.

The not so obvious: lighting a fire, living without facebook, climbing a tree, wondering how our lights work, where our waste goes. …and weather, and night, and tides, and stars, and silence.

living A wall, a path, a building, a tent.

We start with the history and spirit of the existing.

We think about landscape, sunset, outlook, how it feels. Our shower block; green oak and cedar.

Fantastic view, lots of light, lots of air. Fresh. People just hang around talking. …and ‘the bwthyn’. 200 yrs old. Former croft.

Got a fire and a ghost. Best tiny pub in the world.

a big tent Timber poles+canvas. elemental.

Our big tent goes up when we need it. Where we need it. It can hold up to 100 people.

People talking , listening, dancing, eating, getting married. In the big tent people are more open, more engaged, less inhibited. not a reception room, not a conference room, not a theatre. It’s a (magical) big tent.

fire fforest without fire is like fforest with one ‘f’.

Stoves for keeping the tents warm, fires for open air cooking, the firepit for a chat and a sing-song, our pub isn’t a pub till the fire is roaring. fire is a reward. take pride, build it with care.

What’s the secret ingredient of the perfect fforest barbeque? The charcoal.

community The spirit of community is in everything we do.

Regardless of the accommodation our guests choose, our service is always the same.

Everyone has breakfast together, everyone plays (and learns) together.

The status of ‘house’ is left at home.

The status of ‘car’ is left in the car park.

People talk, make friends, kids play. Simple.
