Hello John we were planning to go to the forest for a long weekend at Doward but as you found is fully booked. I thought bracelands looked OK (enormous) but somehow didn't inspire me to want to go there so we decided to keep heading west and found sites in Powys East Wales, Brecon Beacons. I still want to go to Doward though.
Take it easy.
