Garth Glamping

喜欢 A lovely site, providing the feel of wild camping ... with good toilets and showers. A friendly pub within walking distance , and easy access to central Cardiff and Castell Coch. Garth Mountain walk can be accessed directly from the site, perhaps with a stop before and after at the pub ;)

不喜欢 Not really a "dislike" but a note for others - the access road is quite narrow, with few passing places. My VWT5 managed it fine, and I saw a VW crafter on site, but larger motorhomes may struggle.

喜欢 Size of site, plenty of spaces between pitches. A well stocked kitchen with spare utensils and stoves available. Fire pits provided, too.
Although there's a train line close, it didn't cause any issues.

不喜欢 For our stay, there was no hot water available. Boiler showed a fault to do with gas supply

来自经理: Thank you for your review, Callum. We’re delighted you enjoyed the spacious pitches, well-stocked kitchen, and peaceful surroundings.

We’re sorry that one of our shower boilers developed an unexpected gas supply fault during your stay. The issue affected a single shower block and was resolved within 24 hours. During that time, we still had two other hot showers available for guests to use across the site.

We appreciate your understanding and are pleased to hear you’d recommend us and would visit again. We hope to welcome you back to Garth Glamping in the future.

喜欢 Such a peaceful campsite with a wild camping feel. We were lucky enough to have the campsite nearly to ourselves and had so much space for our group of 6 far away from lots of tents. Couldn't hear the other campers at all. The site is beautiful and the addition of the river access makes it all the better for a paddle on a hot day. Very tranquil. The facilities were lovely and the hot shower very good. Not far from a great local village pub and a great walk overlooking all of Cardiff up Garth hill. Would recommend to anyway. Although we didn't have longer to explore the site is well located to explore Cardiff, the surrounding countryside and walks plus the coast. Briefly met the owner who seemed really friendly and chilled. Site access instructions were easy. The addition of a covered kitchen was great when it started to rain.

不喜欢 We loved the site and would recommend it to all. So I wouldn't mark down based on any of these things but think it's Feedback worth giving.

Very few Negatives but my honest points and feedback. There is a train line running across the side of the site which does run late at night. We were the closest to the trains and we all said it didnt bother us and we all slept well. But others could not feel that way.

The trainline is fenced off and up a steep shale hill but some children and children who clearly had very irresponsible guardians (watching them do this may I add) kept getting over the fence and scalled the hill getting close the tracks. Which needless to say is incredibly dangerous!! Just to be clear this is NOT a fault of the site. The fencing and distance to the trainline is not a danger to any supervised or rationally thinking people. So very likely a one off. But having witnessed this and been given a heart attack just witnessing the stupidity. I'd maybe suggest to the owner to alter the fencing here to make this completely impossible for this to happen again. Again just to be clear, my 0negative reaction rests solely with the wildly irresponsible parents watching their children and teenagers do this. But for the sake of the site owners not to have this happen again on their property, I'm raising it.

Feedback I would give to the hosts. The locks on the showers and toilets could be improved with some hard to lock and others hard to open due to missing handles

In the shower I'd strongly recommend more and better hooks the ones provided hook loosely on the back of the shower doors and fall off easily not able to hang clothes or towels. Also as the floor of the shower room can get wet from the curtain I think its necessary to keep items dry. That or also the addition of a shelf to be able to rest a wash bag. Id say the same in the toilet. Those simple adjustments would make the use of those rooms far more easy to use.

来自经理: Thank you for such a lovely and detailed review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the peace, space, river access and beautiful surroundings during your stay.

We really appreciate your constructive feedback too. Guest suggestions help us continue improving the site, and we’ll certainly take your comments on board regarding the facilities and railway boundary. Last week I contacted transport for Wales, who are responsible for the fencing to which they have already organised a visit to inspect. It’s a real shame when parents and guardians aren’t watching their children whilst with us as this causes not just potential danger to the children, but also often means communal areas of the site are left in a mess! We’re sorry you had to witness this.

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Garth Glamping again soon!

Best wishes,

喜欢 Great place, the tent was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean and tidy. Our children each had their own bed, which made the stay even more comfortable for our family

喜欢 Great spot next to a stony beach on the Taff. Amenities were exellent with a large tarped off seating area and a communal kitchen. Showers & toilets were home standard too.

喜欢 Our stay at Garth Glamping was lush. We stayed in a yurt for the night which was set up so beautifully for us, including very comfy beds and a small fire pit outside for each yurt. The site is clean with all you need for a comfortable stay including a fridge, stove, running water lovely showers and loos. The area itself is beautiful with lots of wild flowers and spaces to wander off and just enough additional lighting to help you find your way in the dark, but not detract from the clear skies. We went for a dip in the river and watched as ducks, cormorants and a herons flew overhead, while tiny fish dotted around at our feet. It's a magic place and so close to the City you could easily do both things on your visit to Cardiff.

喜欢 Silence, isolation, surrounding nature, friendly staff and guests, toilets and showers facilities always clean and tidy, well equipped kitchen with communal fridge, small playground for children, nearby river with stone beach, firewood available on site, possibility of renting a fire pit, huge tent pitch, and few more. In general our stay there was a pleasure!

不喜欢 narrow road with uneven surface to get to campsite with nearly no chance to pass oncomming vehicles. Proximity of the train line, but it wasn't so bad. Only two toilets for all pitch guests. No hooks for clothing in the showers, no bench or shelf to put your stuff on.
