Hidden in the beautiful Vale of Kerry lies The Forest; a splendid Victorian country house B&B set in 4 acres of attractive gardens and paddocks.

This ancient town, along with Welshpool and Montgomery, has antique shops, museums, castle ruins and art galleries. On the border of Powys and Shropshire, The Forest offers a comfortable but informal atmosphere where children of all ages are welcome and is an ideal rural retreat away from the rush and bustle of modern life.

The Forest's secluded setting

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

There are many walks from the door step as well as easy access to well known walks such as Offas' Dyke, Glyndwrs Way and the Kerry Ridgeway.

Nearby are the dams of Lake Vyrnwy and the Elan Valley which offer spectacular views across the countryside of Wales.

 

The Forest entrance hall and hotel reception

 
Reception Hall and Rooms

Its large entrance hall contains an impressive oak staircase which leads to 5 attractive en-suite bedrooms. The drawing room, dining room and bedrooms retain many original Victorian features from arched windows and oak doors to elegant coving and architraves. Our suit of armour is a favourite with the children.

 

Relax in the drawing room

 

Guests are welcome to use the drawing room where a TV, books, and board games are available.

A laptop with WIFI Internet access is also available free of charge.

A restored antique Bechstein Grand Piano is a centre piece and guests are invited to play it.

 

Gardens

Family run bed and breakfast businessThe gardens, which everyone is welcome to enjoy, were laid out over many decades by gardeners with a real passion for planting yet remain informal with a large lawn ideal for games. In the borders there are ancient yew trees, colourful azaleas and rhododendrons, lovely acers and a wonderful magnolia.

You can sit in the garden and watch the abundant wildlife, take a stroll through our woodland by the pond or simply kick a football about.

A free games room with pool, table football and table tennis is in the room above our stables.  See Recreation.

It is located to the side of Forest Cottage and is not overlooked ensuring complete privacy.

 

We strive to offer the highest quality bed and breakfast accommodation for walkers, riders, cyclists, business people, families and holiday makers looking for a secluded and tranquil location in which to relax and from which to explore the diverse attractions of The Welsh Marches and Mid Wales.

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

We hope that you will find in the unique beauty of the Kerry Vale a place that will draw you back time and time again.
