Birthday extravaganza weekend – just perfect!
Stayed in the 6-berth safari tent with family to celebrate my birthday. We all enjoyed the space, the views, the hot tub, the BBQ, the woodburner, well everything!. Also enjoyed the quiet and the privacy. Lynda and Richard have used their land well, taking advantage of the hillside and have not crowded the safari tents together. Really liked the off pitch parking – all adds to the get-away-from-it-all feel. They also assisted with the birthday balloons, bubbles, chococlates and flowers – thank you for helping with that extra touch! I highly reommend!
Relaxing and good quality accommodation. Beautiful views.
Absolutely stunning views. Very well presented accommodation. Super impressed with shower in the ensuite. Very relaxing with the wood fired hot tub and views across the valley. Owners were friendly and very accommodating – couldn’t fault the service. Great 4g signal on 3 and smarty!
Lovely stay would recommend
We just returned from a stay for 3 nights in cartref the converted railway carriage and we could not fault it. Absolutely lovely setting, very peaceful with great views. The hot tub was great in the evening, we paid £25 for the extra bags of firewood beforehand and would recommend as we used them all through cooking on the fire and lighting the hot tub. Lots of things to do nearby, we did a hike in the Brecon Beacons as it’s not a far drive. Would definitely return!
perfect getaway
me and my partner has just visited for a couple of nights, wow is all i can say absolutely stunning place, stayed in cynefin, converted railway cart, was well impressed with the whole setup from the carriage itself to the woodfired hot tub. what a beautiful view and such a quiet little spot under the old oak tree, everything provided was amazing, i would recommend paying the extra £25 for the extra bags of logs, we just about used all 5 bags 1 free and the 4 you get for your £25, would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning hopefully during this summertime cant wait to be honest wanna go back already!!!
Relaxing get away
We had a great time! Everything we needed was made available. I had a few queries that were quickly answered at checkout. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the outdoors or wants a relaxing get away that’s a bit different! Definitely one to remember 🙂
Beautiful, Peaceful, Re-charge
I don’t even know where to start! The beautiful views, snug homely glamping carriage, lovely owners. I booked 2 nights stay in one of the carriages for my husbands birthday and we was not disappointed. Tucked away with beautiful views, lovely little touch of a birthday banner 🙂 just all u need with a comfy bed, wood burner, fridge and little bathroom. Just perfect little getaway. Absolutely loved the wood burner hot tub too with little fairy lights to set the mood. I would love to come back again to recharge and relax! Thank you under the oak for the perfect hideaway break.
Top notch glamping – loved it!
Just returned from 2 nights in cynefin carriage for my partners birthday – his first glamping experience and we both absolutely loved it. The accommodation is beautiful, super cosy and very well equipped, impressed to have a bathroom inside, major plus! Loved the concept of an honesty shop on site and felt like we were completely secluded up on the hill (omg the views!!). The owners were brilliant, always on hand to help and made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was such a luxurious touch too and perfect to enjoy the surroundings day or night. We enjoyed getting to grips with how to build a good fire! I’d definitely visit again and have already been passing on details to friends and family. Very impressed!
Amazing place, lovely owners, can’t wait to come back!
Myself and my boyfriend stayed here over Bonfire night weekend and it was so lovely. It was really easy to from the M4 and even in the dark we could see the signs and found our way to Cartfef. Inside was even better than we were expecting; it was super cosy, decorated lovely and had everything we needed for the weekend. We lit the fire as soon as we got in and it warmed up the place really quickly and kept us toasty for the evening. The kitchen was a perfect size and was full with so many utensils and crockery. It all felt really clean and well kept. It was very easy and quick to get into caerphilly for main shops/supermarkets, however l there were other places nearby if you wanted to walk somewhere. It was lovely being on the hill as we could see so many fireworks from right inside our door. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a perfect getaway! I would highly recommend this place
Wonderfully relaxing getaway
We stayed for two nights in Dan Y Ffawydden with out teenage daughter who we thought would be bored, but she absolutely loved it and so did we! From the amazing view, to the quirky tent, everything was just completely spot on. We wanted a peaceful getaway, to relax and enjoy spending time with other, and this was the perfect place to do it. My husband enjoyed looking after the fires, and chopping mountains of wood which we brought with us, much needed as there is the log burner, fire pit and hot tub burner to keep going. Our daughter enjoyed the coziness of the bedroom nook with its fairy lights, and I enjoyed sitting with a cuppa and a book on the veranda overlooking the beautiful Caerphilly mountains. The campsite is close enough to the town if you need to pop in for supplies, or explore the castle, but not too close, so you still feel like you’re getting away from it all. We can’t wait to go back.
The perfect little getaway
My partner and I were looking for a last minute getaway in the UK and after searching online we found Under the Oak via Cool Camping. We stayed for 3 nights in Cartref and it was just pure heaven – going out exploring South Wales in the day and then coming back for a dip in the hot tub and some dinner by the fire in the evening. The hosts were lovely and helpful, we had everything we needed and it all felt very covid safe too. Thank you Under the Oak – we will be recommending to everyone we know and would love to stay again in the future.
