What customers say
Bhí an-áthas ar aíonna suíomh Garth Glamping, a bhí álainn agus ciúin, áiseanna den scoth agus glan, agus óstach cairdiúil. Ionad iontach le haghaidh Cardiff, leis an abhainn in aice láimhe le haghaidh snámha. Bhí roinnt saincheisteanna beaga ann maidir le bóithre rochtana, torann traenach, agus infhaighteacht leithris agus cithfholcadáin, ach tá feabhsuithe ar siúl. Tá go leor ag iarraidh filleadh.

Bell tent
Liked The large bell tent felt spacious. Very clean showers and loos. Nice shaded communal seating and it was good to chat in shared kitchen. Enjoyed firepit next to tent. Made a great base for Park and Ride by train into Cardiff.

Fantastic!
Bell tent
Liked Fantastic weekend just had at Garth Glamping.
Very beautiful location and area.
I would highly recommend the site and we will definitely return!
Lovely atmosphere, clean, well kept and a child and dog friendly site.
The host, Jordan, was really friendly and helpful!
Honestly, a truly lovely lady to deal with, nothing was too much to ask!
My brother and family visited us for a couple of hours from Cardiff while we were staying and he was also blown away with the site and facilities.
One to keep an eye on for the future as it is very up and coming and they really do have a great eye for the little details which creates a memorable stay to return to!
Great pub / restaurant not far from the site, was also recommended to us by Jordan - again a very pleasant experience and the food was absolutely delicious!
Disliked None

Bell tent
Liked All of the facilities were to a grand standard, clean and updated style. The kitchen was brilliant and had everything you needed. The tent had everything you could want in there, they thought of everything.
Disliked The sofa bed was quite uncomfortable, like there was a pole in the middle

Loved it
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Fantastic site, great facilities. Would happily come again.
My son particularly like your toilets, ‘best camping toilets ever!’.
Disliked Slight lack of comms to start, but we found the site! Maybe an email-able pdf stating the route in etc.
Train line is close and sometimes noisy, but that’s the only site comprise.
