Our Story
We, Darren, and Sarah are the proud owners of Hafren Forest Hideaway.
In July 2017, we decided to leave the comfort of Somerset, and our demanding jobs and venture into the heart of Mid Wales, seeking a life closer to the great outdoors and all the natural wonders that this breathtaking region has to offer.
Our story began with the purchase of "The Old Weather Station." The neglected, weathered building was the canvas upon which we envisioned creating something truly special. With our passion for the great outdoors and the wild landscapes of Mid Wales, we knew that this was the place where our dreams could become reality.
The first step in our journey was the renovation of the building.
As outdoor enthusiasts, we were determined to make our accommodation a welcoming haven for guests who share our love for adventures in the great outdoors. We understand the importance of escaping the daily grind and having a home away from home. It’s our mission to provide a comfortable and convenient base for those who wish to explore the outdoor wonders of Mid Wales or simply relax amidst the tranquillity of the area.
In 2020, the world faced the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we temporarily closed our doors. During this time, while we missed the presence of visitors, we continued to work diligently to enhance our accommodation.
When we finally reopened in 2022, we realised that our accommodation had evolved significantly since its beginning in 2017, so we changed the name from Hafren Forest Bunkhouse to "Hafren Forest Hideaway,” which we truly believe reflects what we have to offer.
At Hafren Forest Hideaway, we don't just offer accommodation; we provide a range of choices to suit your preferences, including B&B, Half Board, Exclusive Hire Self Catering, or Exclusive Hire with Catering. In addition to our cosy Hideaway, we can offer an array of exciting outdoor activities, including walking, paddleboarding, paddle sports, EMTB Hire (electric mountain biking), archery, axe throwing, foraging, forest bathing, and much more.
We are dedicated to making your stay as enjoyable as possible. We love engaging with our guests, ensuring that you have the best experience when visiting Mid Wales. Just let us know how we can assist you in organising your stay, whether you seek thrilling outdoor adventures or a peaceful retreat.
Hafren Forest Hideaway is not just a place to stay; it's a gateway to a unique experience, a celebration of the great outdoors, and a haven where you can truly feel at home. Join us on our journey and let Hafren Forest Hideaway become a part of your own memories.
