Liked The set up was spot on. Stayed in one of the bell tents that was spotless. A1

Liked The glamping tent, the area around is lovely. Based around hills it's so idyllic.
Playing area for children. Plenty of size.
A really neat kitchen area.
Little touches like, marshmallows and wood for a fire. Ear plugs and eye masks. Very nice touches of detail. Very very impressed.

Disliked 3 toilets and 3 showers for what could be very busy camping pitch. I think is not quite enough.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Jason, we’re so pleased you enjoyed the bell tent, the surroundings and all the little extras we provide for guests.

Regarding the facilities, we appreciate your feedback, although this is based on an assumption rather than your experience during your stay. You visited on a fully booked weekend, and with 3 showers and 3 toilets available we did not experience any significant queues or issues. We also deliberately limit camping numbers to a maximum of 10 pitches per night to ensure the site remains spacious, peaceful and that facilities are sufficient for all guests.

Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon.

Liked Such a wonderful site with great facilities. The little kitchenette is a wonderful touch, with a fridge, kettle, tea coffee. Site is very well run and clean.
We travled for 6 hours and stayed 2 nights for the metallica gig and this place will be my first choice everytime going forward, if we travel back for more giga or holidays. I absolutely loved it!

Disliked Nothing at all.

From the manager: Thank you so much, Keira! We’re thrilled you had such a great stay with us. It means the world to hear that after travelling 6 hours! We loved hosting you and are so pleased the little extras and facilities made a difference. We’ll have the kettle on ready for your next gig or South Wales adventure! 😊

Liked great site, loved the kitchen area really well equipped and the sitting area.
lovely quiet setting but a handy wee short cut to the train station to go into cardiff etc.,fire pit hire was great and the facilities were spotless . was attending a festival in Cardiff castle and looks like it might be come an annual event so I know where ill be staying ,

Disliked only issue I saw was the path into the kitchen area there are a couple of deep holes and watched a car bottom out when the driver stopped to go to the toilet, oh and the trains going by ( only an issue when they decided to blow their horns )

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, David! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the peaceful setting, facilities and easy access into Cardiff.

Regarding the track, the route between the kitchen and toilet/shower block isn’t intended for vehicle use and is kept pedestrian-only to ensure the safety of our guests, particularly children playing on site. We appreciate the feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊🏕️🌿

Liked Great toilet/shower/kitchen facilities. Nice glamping pods, comfortable and handy location. Limited kids activities but the archery was a hit.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Chris! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the facilities, bell tent and convenient location, and it’s great to hear the archery was a hit with the children.

We’re hoping to add a dedicated play area in the future, but our aim has always been to offer a nature-based experience where children can enjoy the open space, river, wildlife and freedom of the farm. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊

Liked Everything! Fantastic facilities that were really well managed. Lovely communal kitchen with everything you could need. Great customer service. It’s also right next to the River Taff so we spent time keeping cool down there during the heatwave.

Disliked Nothing! We’ll definitely be back!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Daisy! We’re delighted you enjoyed the facilities, communal kitchen and riverside location.

Reviews like yours mean the world to us as a small family-run site. We’re so pleased you made the most of the River Taff during the heatwave, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Garth Glamping again soon!

Liked Location is great for Cardiff and Caerphilly. Site is really attractive.

Disliked Long grass has just been cut leaving massive lumps everywhere which were difficult to drive over to pitch, and to try and put camping chairs/tables on. Could you keep at least whole strip by river regularly cut? Showers could do with a shelf/stool, there is nowhere to put glasses/jewellery/toiletries other than the wet floor. Not ideal! Large sink in large loo struggled to drain. Outside washing up sinks seem to be just cold water. One of loo locks a bit hit and miss. Road and rail noise but didn't really mind this - would bother some.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and we’re delighted you enjoyed the location and appearance of the site.

Garth Glamping is situated on a working farm, and at the time of your stay we were in the middle of haymaking for our cattle. Unfortunately, freshly cut grass does need a couple of days to dry and be turned before baling, so this is sometimes unavoidable and part of life on a farm.

Thank you also for highlighting the sink and lock issues, which we’ll inspect. There are hooks available in the shower areas, but we’re always happy to consider further improvements.

We’re pleased these points didn’t prevent you from enjoying your stay, recommending us to others, and wanting to return.

Liked Toilets and showers cleaned daily. Kitchen had everything you could need so makes less of a worry over forgetting to bring something. BBQs and wood readily available so you can have a fire whenever. Lovely people too.

Disliked very little to say but could have only wished that more of the field was mowed as there was only a small strip which meant other camper were really close. Not ideal if you’re people who go to bed late.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, Ellie! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the facilities, communal kitchen and campfires, and that you consider us one of the nicest campsites you’ve stayed at.

Regarding the grass, we do have a large camping field available, with many pitch options beyond the riverside strip. Naturally, the river pitches tend to be the most popular! During your stay we were also growing and preparing silage for our cows, which meant parts of the field were intentionally left uncut. We hope to welcome you back again soon. 😊🚜

Liked Nice, clean facilities

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for awarding us 10/10! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the facilities clean and well maintained.

Cleanliness is something we take great pride in, so it’s lovely to hear it was appreciated. We hope to welcome you back to Garth Glamping again soon!

Liked Loved the whole place.

Disliked Leaving!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Teresa! We’re delighted you loved your stay and that our facilities helped make it such an enjoyable visit.

“Leaving!” has to be one of our favourite dislikes to read 😊 Thank you for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back to Garth Glamping again very soon!
