a small secluded ex dairy farm set in 10 acres of rural bliss, a 15 minute leisurely stroll from a quiet, beautiful and expansive National Trust beach.
fforest Coast, known locally as Manorafon, is perfect for the quieter, smaller, more intimate wedding for up to 60 guests. 10 acres in a secluded valley with outstanding views and one of Wales’ best National Trust beaches on the doorstep. We hold a maximum of 8 weddings at fforest Coast each year. The serene coastal location means that we limit the volume and location of any music to preserve our neighbours’ enjoyment of the valley.
Set away from the accommodation, the rustic Dutch barn is the setting for wedding day dining or partying. The large, level barn terrace looking out across the valley is the perfect spot for an informal barbecue or relaxing over a sundowner, while a vintage marquee on the barn lawn is a flexible space for a humanist ceremony, an outdoor bar or a more creative use. It’s up to you.
Guests stay in log cabins and geodesic domes while the bridal party takes over the old farmhouse.
