Competition: Win a wintry weekend in Wales worth £940

Lottie Storey November 21, 2016

Enjoy a gathering of friends or family on us… Fforest is giving away a two-night stay in its fantastic farmhouse in Pembrokeshire

The festive season serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures of getting together with family or friends. Enter our Christmas competition and you could be doing it all over again, only this time in luxury in west Wales.

Tŷ Fforest is a Georgian farmhouse, restored in 2015 with a swish, ski lodge-style interior. This is a luxurious retreat for families, full of cosy corners and gathering spaces, wrapped in thick slate walls. It has a large slate-floor kitchen with massive inglenook fireplace and a woodfired oven. Its suite, two doubles, family room and bunkroom sleeps up to 14 people.

Out in the country
The farmhouse is the newest addition to Fforest farm, a 200-acre estate bordering the Teifi marshes nature reserve and Teifi gorge, and a few minutes’ drive away from the town of Cardigan as well as the wilds of the Pembrokeshire coast.

Fforest farm has lots of accommodation, sleeping two to 14, from domed tents to cosy crog lofts – all designed to engage with the delights of outdoor living. In Cardigan itself, there are one- and two-bedroomed granary lofts. These smart apartments border the river, with views across to the castle.

The properties lend themselves to cosy gatherings: no wonder, then, that Fforest is offering hygge weekends, seizing on the Danish idea of simple, everyday happiness and togetherness. Blankets and logs for the fire are provided, and you can order a hygge hamper, full of local produce. The Simple Things readers can save 10% on a hygge weekend, too.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
