Picture a wooded valley, hidden deep in the Cornish countryside and yet minutes from heritage coastline and magnificent beaches. At its lowest part there are ponds, skirted by woodland paths and levels of grasses, fringed by wild flowers. Amongst the changing colours of the flowers and the splendid woods, Forda's residents include many species of birds, duck and geese, wildfowl, badgers, roe deer and the occasional fox and otter.
This is Forda, a place whose unique character and setting attracts many kinds of visitors, not only in the long summer months but throughout the whole year.
With motorways and new roads, this tranquillity is now within easy reach - London within four and a half hours, the Midlands four hours and Bristol two hours.
Forda was once a traditional Cornish farmstead. Today, it is a small and select holiday setting where beautiful and cleverly designed lodges have been constructed to blend perfectly with their surroundings and carefully located and aligned to provide privacy.
There are also two luxury barn conversions with their own private gardens or large patios.
Forda is privately owned and managed by the Chibbett family who live at Forda in the old farmhouse and take great pride in ensuring that all their guests have a relaxing and peaceful holiday in this wonderful and idyllic location.
