Forest Days is an experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers. It’s a voyage into the world of forgotten explorers and old fashioned adventurers’ camps, where the smell of wood smoke and damp earth fills the air and the raw beauty of simple and authentic things becomes the world’s biggest luxury. Discovering the thrill of sleeping in the midst of the forest with only a layer of canvas between you and the starlit night is a dream come true for the inner child that lives in our hearts. At Forest Days we believe in hot sunny days, refreshing summer storms, the swirling mists of autumn, in leisurely sunsets and the rustling of the wind in the trees. We believe in loving every minute of it and in waking every morning from the warm embrace of your shelter, ready to seize the bright, sunny day ahead. This is the Forest Days' spirit. Welcome to your adventure. Take a deep breath and step into the forest. When you arrive, everything is sorted; every detail is taken care of. You don’t have any chores to do before you start enjoying yourself. Get lost wandering through the trees and the woodland's many bends, twists and levels. Remember how wonderful it feels gathering wood for your own fire. Take up foraging for wild, delicious mushrooms in autumn, a very seriously taken hobby in this part of the world, or pick up fresh blackberries and figs. Grab the picnic blanket and sit down under a shady oak with a good book, or find a sunny spot and have your very own Mad Hatter’s Tea party. Here everything is possible. Barcelona, Girona and Reus airports are all less than 2 hours away, you can be with us late afternoon if you arrive on the morning ferry into Santander or Bilbao, the beaches of the Costa Brava are about 2 hours’ drive away and you can be across the border and into southern France in little over an hour and a half. So whatever you are planning, get out your maps, put a pin in Forest Days and see how a few nights in this magical space can be included into your next adventure.You will stay in one of our beautiful bell tents, with the facilities you’d expect to find in a boutique hotel rather than the middle of a forest. These spacious tents offer the ultimate in indulgent outdoor tented accommodation. They are made of 100% natural cotton which gives them a lovely warm and cosy feeling. Each tent is a complete and independent unit, with its own wooden eco-toilet hut outside just for you, outdoor furniture handmade from the forest’s own wood and hammocks and hanging seats to while away the day. The tents are carefully positioned across the 5 hectares of woodland and fields so each one has its own private space and secluded atmosphere, making this experience the perfect romantic escapade. Inside the tent a massive super-king sized bed awaits you, with white crisp cotton sheets, a cosy duvet, soft pillows and fluffy towels. During winter the tent is heated with a small wood burning stove where you can heat up the kettle. There is also a small gas cooker and a selection of tea and coffee to allow you to make a hot drink when the stove is not lit. Lighting both inside and outside the tent is solar and for the longer winter nights, beautiful paraffin lanterns give a truly romantic glow. Halfway between rustic and playful, our wooden dry-toilet hut reminds you of something out of the pages of Robinson Crusoe’s adventures or the old Tarzan of the Jungle films. The use of dry-toilets is an increasingly popular option in many eco-conscious countries to reduce water wastage. So do your bit for the planet and save yourself a walk to the bathrooms! Our quirky shower shed with its pallet furniture theme featuring steamy hot showers has traditional flushing toilets and recycling point. The Forest Kitchen is equipped with a gas BBQ, gas hobs, a fun washing-up area and large family tables to enjoy your delicious meals or supper while the sun goes down. It is a very special space, rustic in style, totally off-grid but completely self-sufficient, and with beautiful views! You are very welcome to use your own cooking equipment or simply rent our fully stocked beautiful cooking kit from us (30 Euros per stay for couples / 45 Euros per stay for families).

Breakfast is a delicious and unpretentious affair at Forest Days. A few modest but truly wholesome ingredients, sourced and lovingly crafted by local artisan hands, make for an honest and authentic meal fit for a king.. or an expert explorer! (Certainly this spread would have made Scott, Amundsen or Shackleton, smile with delight.) Good coffee, good bread and a good chunk of exquisite cheese, along with some other delightful provisions. All to be savoured in the quietness of the forest or by your fireplace. How does that sound? You’ll find all your goodies lovingly prepared and tenderly wrapped in brown paper in the Larder area everyday, ready to pick up, diligently made for you and to be enjoyed at your leisurely pace.
