stay in the woods
Off-grid: There's all you need here in the woods - but it's an off-grid experience. We love our home-build cook-house and dining area, bathroom and workshop - have a look at the photos above or on our Instagram or Facebook pages to see more. All the building has been done with roundwood or timber (mostly sitka spruce) felled and milled on site.
Parking & access: You need a 4-wheel drive to get to the woods - or park nearby and we'll collect you. There's parking at the neighbouring farm as well as in the village of Pentre-bach, both have fine roads to get there. We'll run regular shuttle trips, pick-ups and put downs for people who park in either of those, ferrying you to and from the woods to your cars.
Clothing: We have covered areas for workshops, communal eating and relaxing so, should it rain (it likely will), we will be fine ...and dry. But there are always walks from a to b that are uncovered - not to mention the local pub, a 20-minute stroll down our oftentimes muddy track - so plenty of waterproofs, boots and dry changes of clothes are highly recommended.
Shopping: As well as our village pub, the Shoemakers Arms, we're a 10-minute drive to Sennybridge, with a decent general store and cafe, two petrol stations and half a dozen pubs.
Communications: Mobile phone reception round here is pretty restricted. I get no signal in village or woodland with Vodafone. EE does get a signal to areas of the woodland - that's the emergency phone I keep ever ready. In the village, there is a public pay-phone, allowing free calls to UK landlines and mobiles. The pub has good wifi too.
Free time: We try to build in time and space in our weekend events for people to do whatever they want. You're welcome to take the boat out for a paddle in the lake, have a go with our green-wood-work tools whittling a spoon or spatula, or exploring the woodland and beyond. All weekends begin with a little orientation session which includes a full health and safety briefing.
