Services
The Forest Country House B&B is owned and managed by myself, Paul Martin.
I moved here with my family from Surrey in the summer of 2007 after falling in love with Kerry and its surrounding area.
We have a number of pets which include Sooty our cat who is very friendly and a big hit with our young visitors.
The charity which runs the cottages have created a small holding farm with two goats and a dozen or so Soay sheep, a rare breed from the Hebrides.
The earliest deeds for the house date back to 1709 when it consisted of 2 small dwellings.
Shortly after 1822, the houses were converted into one dwelling when The Forest was the home of the Herberts, the owners of Dolforgan estate.
During the mid 19th century to house was owned by the Walton family before becoming the property of the Willans family who, in 1912, carried our major improvements.
The Forest was sold in 1922 and passed through various owners over the years who used it as a family home.
The Forest B&B provides elegant and comfortable accommodation and retains many of the original Victorian features.
Each of the 5 double bedrooms is ensuite and uniquely decorated with the highest quality fabrics and furnishings.
All rooms offer stunning views over the gardens and valley.
The breakfast room is a large elegant room with three beautiful mahogany tables.
Breakfast is available at additonal charge and is cooked to order.
