Ik was blij met Fab location as it is local to us, kids enjoyed being by the river and the tent was well set up. Nice and thoughtful gift of marshmallows.
The sauna was beautiful and really well presented. Lovely view of the river.

Ik was niet blij met Road noise was a shame, but not in the owners control.

Gas stove in the tent isn't working.

Ik was blij met "We had an incredible stay at Garth Glamping. The amenities are exceptionally well thought out and kept sparkling clean throughout our visit, the showers and shared spaces are spotless.The location is perfect for sightseeing, with scenic walks right up Garth Hill and easy access to local gems like Castell Coch. The owners are super friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome with lovely, thoughtful touches. It is peaceful, never feels crowded during our stay, I will definitely make this my go-to site for future trips!".

Ik was niet blij met Nothing to add.

Ik was blij met Beautiful location, spacious site, friendly owners. Everything to do with staying here was simple and easy. I can comfortably say that I would stay again. There is a trainline nearby but it doesn't run too often and we chose to pitch up next to it and hardly noticed.

Ik was niet blij met The shower pump stopped working (what can you do), but the people running the site were amazing and it was running by the morning.

Van de manager: Thank you so much for the lovely review! 🥰 We’re so pleased you enjoyed yourselves.

Unfortunately, our generator decided to have a little strop during your stay and temporarily affected the shower pump, one of those joys of running an off-grid site! 😂 Thankfully we were able to get it sorted quickly and everything was back up and running by the morning.

Thanks again for being so understanding, and we’d absolutely love to have you back! ❤️

Ik was blij met Excellent site will definitely be back

Van de manager: Yay! Thanks for a lovely 10/10 ❤️

Ik was blij met Lovely large field with communal area. Shared kitchen facilities which were clean. Toilets and showers also really clean. River nearby.

Ik was niet blij met Not a dislike but info for campervans. There are no facilities for emptying waste and no drinking water on site (unless boiling).
Did think £10 for a dog was steep though.

Van de manager: Thanks for your review. We’re pleased you found the site, kitchen, toilets and showers clean and enjoyed the river.

Just to clarify for future guests reading this: drinking water is absolutely available on site. We have a clearly visible drinking-water dispenser situated directly beside the kitchen fridge, so we’re surprised this was missed. We do, of course, provide drinking water for guests.

We also do have designated waste areas on site where campervan waste can be emptied. Had you asked us during your stay, we would have been very happy to point you in the right direction.

We’re always happy to help guests with anything they’re unsure about, but unfortunately we can’t resolve an issue we haven’t been made aware of during the stay.

Regarding the £10 dog charge, this is clearly stated at the time of booking, so there shouldn’t be any surprise about the cost.

We just wanted to correct these points so future campers aren’t left with the impression that these facilities aren’t available when they are.

Ik was blij met Great facilities and hosts were very informative. The sauna and cold dip are on my list for the next visit and the river walk looked lovely

Van de manager: Thank you so much Susan for such a lovely review! 🥰 It sounds like you made some very special memories with us, and we’re so pleased Garth Hill was the perfect spot for watching the eclipse, what a lovely thing to have experienced from here! 🌙✨

We’re so glad you enjoyed the facilities, fire pits and the peaceful surroundings, and it means so much to us that you mentioned it being run by a lovely family. ❤️

Thank you for choosing Garth Glamping, we’d absolutely love to welcome you back again!

Ik was blij met Location

Ik was niet blij met Too expensive for a van in a field with no EHU. Showers, one had no lock, no enough quality hooks, nowhere to hang dry clothes, towel, or put wash bags. Metal soap rack fell off. Dirty showers.

Needs a small nbemch and better hooks.

Van de manager: This review is quite extraordinary.

You knowingly booked a non-electric pitch and have then criticised us because it had no electric hook-up. That is not a fault with the site, that is exactly what you chose and paid for. Our pitch fee covers up to 8 guests as we refuse to mislead bookers with what appear to be cheap pitch fees and turn out to be a charge per person!

The comments about the showers are also misleading. They are cleaned twice daily, each shower has three hooks and a rack for toiletries and wash bags. One lock had been damaged (by a guest) and has now been replaced.

We are more than happy to take genuine criticism, but reviews should be accurate and fair. Marking us down for facilities that were never advertised, while making claims about facilities that demonstrably exist, is neither.

It is also disappointing to see such a strongly worded review left anonymously rather than raising any of these concerns with us during the stay, when we could have addressed them immediately.

Future guests can judge for themselves from our listing, photographs and the many other reviews we have received.

Ik was blij met Ruime plekken. Goede uitvals basis.

Van de manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the spacious pitches and found us a great base for exploring the area. We’d love to welcome you back again.

Ik was blij met Great venue - as other reviewers have mentioned, it's through a village and then down a track on a working farm, so be prepared for this when travelling - some of the road is tight!
The actual campsite is gorgeous, with great facilities - three toilets and three showers, which work well for the small site. We didn't have to queue once.
There's a communal kitchen which is a lovely touch, plenty of pots, pans, kettles etc for all to use if needed. A great covered area with benches for gathering to sit/eat and plenty of kid's toys and activities too!

My favourite part has to be the pigs - absolutely loved them!

Ik was niet blij met I don't have much to write in this section really... Others have mentioned the noisy road, we did hear a couple of noisy cars but nothing that kept us awake and if you were a light sleeper, the hosts provide ear plugs in the kitchen area!

Van de manager: Thank you so much for such a lovely review! ❤️ We’re so glad you enjoyed the site and all the little touches around it, especially the kitchen, covered area and kids’ bits.

And we love that the pigs were your favourite! 😂🐷 They do seem to steal the show with a lot of our guests!

We really appreciate you mentioning the access and road noise in such a fair way too. Being on a working farm does mean the approach is a little more rural, but once you’re here we hope the setting makes it worth it!

Thank you again for staying with us and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back! 🏕️❤️
