So camping is the new boutique hotelling and communing with nature is the new lazing-on-a-sunbed-by-the-pool-while-sipping-cocktails: well, times are tough and one has to (at the very least) be seen to be partaking in the whole credit crunch thang… But the actual nuts and bolts - or rather the tent pegs and zips - of camping just don’t it for me. All those the nasty bugs and outdoor loos… soooo not appealing. And then came Fforest, a luxurious new campsite set on a stunning 200-acre estate in Wales. Vis-à-vis camping le plein air: my mind has been opened. Go the Fforest route and you’ll be able to choose from a stylish tent erected on a wooden deck (no damp sleeping bags then), a tipi with woven straw floors or a 20-ft dome complete with bay windows, a double bed and wooden floors. With the magnificent Teifi gorge to the east and the 350-acre Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve to the west, the setting could not be better. Oh and the more active camper can try their hand at a spot of canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking or archery. Fforest, just outside Cardigan town adjacent to the village of Cilgerran. 01239 623633.
