The Forest Country Cottages are owned by Paul & Michelle Martin but manged by children's charity Dal Dy Dir. We moved here with our 2 children from Surrey in the summer of 2007 after falling in love with Kerry and its surrounding area. We wanted to start a holiday business and The Forest seemed perfect.
Dal Dy Dir is a charitable organisation led by Natalie and her board of trustees. Outdoor activities for clients and volunteers are led by Sam. Established in 2016, the charity is rurally based in Kerry, Wales working in partnership with Forest Cottages. Using the four acre site as a base, Dal Dy Dir is able to offer respite breaks and day services in addition to emergency respite placements.
We have a number of pets which include Sooty our cat who is very friendly and a big hit with our young visitors. We also have a couple of rare breed Welsh Mountain Badger Face Sheep and Pigmy Goats. Many of the animals are used by Dal Dy Dir Animal for therapy. The goats are the best groomed goats farm animals in the area.
