fantastic gem in mid wales that ticks all the boxes! lovely place, great breakfast choice, large clean rooms furnished to a high standard, free wifi, really comfortable beds and only a 5mins drive out of newtown. Will definitely be staying again next time I'm in that part of the country! More

A beautiful location, a warm welcome from Michelle, some interesting books and objects including Paul's astronomic telescope. We were recommended by them to the Kerry Lamb - a straightforward good local inn. More

Beautiful house and gardens, welcoming owners and very comfortable rooms. Loved the suit of armour in the hall and would have experimented with the star-gazing telescope if we had had longer. Add to this a short flat bike ride to an excellent pub in Ceri, and it would be difficult to know what else to ask for! We were cycling... More

The Forest nestles in a secluded valley surrounded by sheep fields and partly wooded hillsides. You reach it along narrow winding lanes with high banks topped by ancient hedges and huge old oak trees, but only a few minutes from the main road to Newtown. We stayed two nights and could happily have made it a week. At first sight... More

We have stayed in quite a few hotels in Mid Wales, visiting family. This has to be the best, superb, luxurious B and B accommodation. We stayed in Radnor, this room was beautifully decorated and furnished - really comfortable and very quiet. Paul and Michelle are excellent hosts. We have also stayed in 2 of the self catering cottages -... More

This is our third overnight stay here. The owner was practising a Mozart sonata as we arrived. Apart from that there was nnothing to be heard but birds and sheep. The rooms we have stayed in are generously large with simply beautiful views of the surrounding garden which blends into the utterly rural landscape. The owners want you to be... More

What a gem, The Forest is a gorgious family run house, set in the gorgious countryside, clean and peaceful, and the owners were lovely. I brought my fiance away for his birthday so he could visit friends he hadn't seen for 10 years, and this B&B was the icing on the cake. It was lovely to see a family running... More

We recently stayed in one of the Forest cottages after previously enjoying a week at the 5 star B & B. This place is a real hidden gem. It is family friendly and yet still has the added luxury that adults appreciate. Stargazing from the hot tub was magical and the children loved the play fort, animals and games room.... More

It's just an OK place, cold in every sense of the word bordering on impersonal. Felt at times we were intruding or causing an inconvienice which by complete contrast with other places we've stayed it's been the staff/owners that have made the visits enjoyable. All clean and smart especially the bathrooms - place just lacked a bit of personality. Went... More

We are sorry and dismayed that our guests did not enjoy their stay with us and we have written to them directly. Being Easter week we had friends staying so we were not around as much as usual during their visit and we regret if they felt neglected. At their first breaksfast they seemed happy but at the second breakfast... More

The house stands proudly at the end of a sweeping drive inviting you in. The hospitality of the hosts was excellent and the rooms were fresh and well appointed. The bed was comfortable and sleep came easily. Everything was perfect. They could not do enough for me at breakfast with local free range tasty produce on the table. Well worth... More
