MADE in Chelsea's Louise Thompson stayed at a tiny campsite in Wales on her latest spring holiday.
The TV star turned author spent a relaxing weekend in Cardigan Bay in a glamping dome with an on-site spa and pub, as well as an outdoor Japanese-style outdoor bathroom.
Louise, along with her fiancé Ryan and their three-year-old son Leo, took a trip to West Wales.
The campsite run by fforest is next to the river Teifi gorge. It's also minutes from the town of Cardigan which has beautiful beaches and coves.
Along with pictures and small video of her stay at fforest farm, Louise wrote on social media: "A great place to spend a long weekend. Near lots of nice beaches too.
"It’s certainly one of the most authentic places I’ve ever visited."
The family of three stayed in Onsen Domes at fforest farm in West Wales.
Inside the dome is a king-size bed and two futon camp beds with a cosy wood-burning stove.
Each dome has a private indoor shower room and toilet as well as an indoor dining area.
The Onsen Dome has a Japanese outdoor style bathroom with shower and sunken, cast concrete soaking tub. For anyone going in the summer, there's an outdoor wood-burning stove and barbecue.
In the communal spa there's a sauna, cold plunge, and wood-fired hot tub there's also an on-site pub, Y Bwthyn.
Another visitor wrote: "Our weekend at Fforest was truly magical. The accommodations are comfortable, charming, and cosy. The food was impeccable and beautiful!"
The farm site has lots of different accommodation types from a renovated farmhouse to cabins and tents.
The tents are more sturdy than your regular pop ups, with a solid frame base and wood frame to make it better able to cope with the Welsh weather.
Fforest farm has two other sites too, including the smaller coastal campsite.
Along the coastline there's a Penbryn beach close by, at Manorafon we offer log cabins, three geodesic domes.
There's a restored Georgian farmhouse and Ty Manorafon, a holiday home, which sleeps eight guests.
On their town site is the Albion Aberteifi riverside hotel which opened in September 2022 and was named Wales’ best hotel in 2023 by The Times & Sunday Times.
It's an adult-only hotel and across the road is a pub called The Castle Inn.
Stays in an Onsen Dome start at £340 for a two night stay - it sleeps up to four.
