Leading nutritional spokesman, Patrick Holford, who keynoted at last month’s Spa Life event, has opened a retreat in an old oak barn in Wales.
Fforest Barn Mountain Retreat, located in the Welsh Black Mountains, fuses a 17th century oak-beamed stone barn with an eco-friendly Dutch barn, giving the feel of ancient Wales with all mod cons.
The barn includes a hot tub, roll top bath and steam shower, a central open- coned fire in the old barn and a wood burning stove in the Dutch barn.
With total privacy, breath-taking views – a forest below and its own wild hill, Bryn Awr, just outside the backdoor – it is the ideal place to rejuvenate.
“My retreats are all about connecting with nature, stepping out of time, eating healthy food, nourishing your soul and recharging your energy,” says Holford.
The barn accommodates 10 people, with up to a further 10 in gypsy caravans, a converted railway carriage and a shepherd hut, all on the property.
