The Forge

Jamie and his crew were a great fit for a stag weekend. They’re down to earth, funny, and really know their crafts. We had a brilliant time and picked up loads along the way. The location is stunning too, with beautiful views all around. One of the best stag weekends I’ve been on, and highly recommended. You won’t regret it.

We went to the Forge for the Back to Nature Summer Camp, and it was a fantastic family retreat. There were lots of activities to choose from, and they were engaging and inclusive for all ages. Sheena and Jaime were wonderful hosts, and the whole team really knew their workshops. The bell tents were comfortable, and the kitchen and hammock were a hit with the family. The meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner were amazing, with allergies catered for. In the evening, the adults enjoyed the wild swim pond and wood fired sauna. I can’t recommend the retreat enough for a great family trip.

Bluebell Corner, the little gypsy caravan, was lovely for an October weekend. We stayed warm with the wood burning stoves, and the kitchen and sitting hut were well equipped. The site was peaceful, with beautiful starry skies, just right for switching off in nature. I also loved the swimming pond and swim hut with its outdoor shower. The owners have thought of everything you might need, and Sheena was so kind. Highly, highly recommend this little corner of paradise.

I spent a few peaceful days here last week with my dog, staying in Bluebell Corner, the old gypsy caravan tucked into its own private corner. No one else was booked in, so we had the whole place to ourselves and both felt relaxed. The caravan was cosy and full of character. In the next-door cabin there was everything I needed, including a double gas hob, sink, cutlery, crockery, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Sheena greeted me warmly in the car park and showed me around. She’d left fresh eggs and a bottle of milk, and the eggs were delicious. The freshly picked wild flowers were a lovely touch too. Each evening I lit the firepit and saw a barn owl fly overhead. There are a couple of walks from the site, though you mostly need to drive to get anywhere. Snowdonia is an easy drive, and there are nice countryside spots closer by as well. Having 4g signal was handy for finding places to visit. I really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend The Forge and Bluebell Corner. Thanks so much for a great holiday!
