Garth Glamping

Понравилось Had a lovely time staying here. Really easy way to do a bit of camping without any faff. A lovely taster for the first time visiting Wales. We turned up with nothing but some food and basically had everything we needed for the stay.

Bell tent was comfy, the Pub in town - Gwaelod Y Garth inn was a great recommendation, local ales and great food. The welcome marshmallows were a nice treat in the evening on the fire pit. You get a lovely greeting by a whole field of curious cows as you head down the driveway to the site.

We came in by foot and got the train in from Cardiff. We walked down from Treforest estate station, which was a little more hilly vs coming up from Taffs Well but well worth the walk through the forest and along the river.

Worth keeping in mind that being this easy to get to, means there's the low hum of the A470 near by and trains do run along the ridge behind the tents till just after midnight. But the supplied ear plugs and eye masks work a treat if thats an issue.

There's a little kitchen onsite and with a supply of tea/coffee and bottled water to get you going in the morning. Few families car camping at the other end of the field but we had plenty of space to ourselves. No wifi but had full bars of Mobile data. There were clean toilets and a shower next to the communal area with more being built when we stayed.

Jordan was super friendly and helpful before and during the stay. Would both recommend this place and will definitely be staying here again to do some of the walking paths around Garth hill.

Понравилось A really friendly site in a great location. The facilities were very clean. The outdoor kitchen is really good with a fridge/freezer, little stove and lots of dishes, cutlery etc.

The kids loved playing down by the river and there are lots of nice walks nearby.

Понравилось We loved this site , being able to pitch up where you like , the benches that were dotted around and the space for the children and dog to play.
The facilities were always clean and you can hire fire pits. We walked from the site down a riverside path to train and into Cardiff which was great .

Не понравилось We didn’t dislike anything just points to note as in description is you can hear road traffic at times it didn’t bother us but I saw ear plugs if you needed it .
Toilet / shower - occasional wait but being built currently .

Понравилось Location next to river and surrounded by trees and hills was beautiful. The shower and toilet facilities were clean and spacious. Washing up facilities great. The outdoor kitchen and fridge were very useful. The children’s toys were an added bonus - kept my two occupied!

Не понравилось Frequent trains were noisy however ear plugs provided by host! Also my children turned listening out for trains into a game!

Понравилось If you're after top notch facilities etc this probably isn't for you. If however you just want to unwind in a relaxed environment it definitely is. There is a shower and a WC + some portaloos but they have limited availability due to the possible quantity of people trying to use them. All clean and good when we visited. Would we come again? Definitely.

Не понравилось Rough track to access site. My lads 1 series had to go very slowly but was definitely possible

Понравилось Loads of space to pitch up; clean toilet and shower area with hand-wash and loo roll provided. Fantastic kitchen area with loads of facilities, bottled water in fridge for campers to use. Communal area with toys for children and benches, lights etc. Friendly and helpful owner, great place to stay, we had a great couple of days there. Thanks for a great stay.

Понравилось What a beautiful site. A perfect little getaway to experience Glamping for the first time.
As a single mum of two young children (5 and 2) I was a little bit nervous at first but I felt safe and relaxed at all times.
The children loved the access to the river, we spent ages throwing rocks in and exploring.
The outdoor games were also a big hit.
Loved how clean the bathroom and kitchen area was.
The bell tent was amazing - plenty of room for us and the beds were very comfortable.
Thank for you for the marshmallows and drinks on arrival!

Не понравилось Nothing, it was simply wonderful!

Понравилось Pleasant surroundings - lovely big, flat field; river close by for swimming/ kayaking etc; very good shower and kitchen facilities with mugs, cutlery and fridge; finding cows grazing in the campsite field in the early morning was fun, but not everyone's cup of tea?!

Не понравилось Site owner's dog (?) chasing our vehicle all the way onto the site - we were very worried about injuring him and he also jumped up and scratched our vehicle; one shower not enough for a busy field; noise of traffic, but you get used to it

От менеджера: Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback, we’re genuinely sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations.

We’re really pleased you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, the spacious flat field, the river nearby, and the well-equipped facilities, we’ve put a lot of thought into these details, and it’s lovely to know they were appreciated.

Regarding the cows, they had escaped via the river, which was a one-off and has since been fully rectified. This is certainly not the norm and we apologise if it caught you off guard.

As for Lilly, the farm dog. While guests may occasionally encounter her on the drive (this is a working farm, after all), we absolutely do not expect anyone to deal with vehicle damage. We’re very sorry to hear this happened. Please do contact us directly with photos or details, we’d like to resolve this properly. Our personal contact information is shared with every guest upon booking and arrival, so it’s upsetting that we weren’t made aware of this at the time.

It’s incredibly disheartening to receive such a negative review, especially anonymously, without having been given the chance to address the issue in real time. We care deeply about our guests’ experience and to say we’re gutted would be an understatement. As seen in our many other reviews, this isn’t reflective of the usual Garth Glamping experience.

Thank you again for your visit. We really do hope you’ll get in touch so we can sort things properly.
