Garth Glamping

Tyckte om 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.

Tyckte inte om The shower pump stopped working (what can you do), but the people running the site were amazing and it was running by the morning.

Från föreståndaren: 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! ❤️

Tyckte om Excellent site will definitely be back

Från föreståndaren: Yay! Thanks for a lovely 10/10 ❤️

Tyckte om Lovely large field with communal area. Shared kitchen facilities which were clean. Toilets and showers also really clean. River nearby.

Tyckte inte om 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.

Från föreståndaren: 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.

Tyckte om 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

Från föreståndaren: 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!

Tyckte om Location

Tyckte inte om 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.

Från föreståndaren: 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.

Tyckte om Ruime plekken. Goede uitvals basis.

Från föreståndaren: 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.

Tyckte om 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!

Tyckte inte om 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!

Från föreståndaren: 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! 🏕️❤️

Tyckte om The showers and toilets were clean, once on the field setting up was as simple as just selecting a spot.

Tyckte inte om The access to the site would discourage me from using it again.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for your feedback, and we’re pleased you found the facilities clean and the pitching process straightforward.

We’re really sorry to hear about the noise from other guests during your stay. We do have quiet-hours expectations in place and would absolutely have intervened had we been made aware at the time. Unfortunately, with a campsite we can’t physically monitor every guest throughout the night, so we really do encourage anyone experiencing an issue to contact us straight away so we can deal with it.

We also appreciate your comments regarding access to the site and completely understand that the rural access may not suit everyone. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to leave feedback.

Tyckte om Very cool chilled and relaxed campsite that had very clean and well set up facilities.
And the local pub served great food and was lovely.

Tyckte inte om It would have been appreciated to note that there is a main train line very close.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you so much for your lovely review! ❤️ We’re really pleased you enjoyed the relaxed feel of the site, the facilities and the local pub.

Just to mention regarding the trains, the railway does run alongside the site and this is visible throughout our photo gallery, so we do try to show the location as accurately as possible before guests book. That said, we’ll certainly take your feedback on board and look at making it even clearer in our written information too.

Thanks again for staying with us and we’d love to welcome you back!

Tyckte om Great little campsite, toilets and showers were lovely, there's lovely little kitchen area as well
Kids swam in the river and had a great time.

Tyckte inte om Can't be helped but there is a trainline there after a while you do get used to it (daytime mainly)

Från föreståndaren: Thank you so much for the lovely review! ❤️ We’re so pleased you enjoyed the campsite, facilities and kitchen area, and it sounds like the kids made the most of the river too! 🏕️🌿

The train line is definitely part of our little valley setting and, as you said, most people soon get used to it. We do try to show it clearly throughout our photos so guests know what to expect before arriving.

Thanks again for staying with us and we’d love to welcome you back
