Beautiful tents in a beautiful setting
We spent a very wet and windy august weekend at under the Oak but had an absolutely brilliant time. Three families had three safari tents and despite the weather we had more fun than we’ve had all year! The tents themselves are absolutely perfect. So well laid out, clean, cosy and comfortable (this is our 4th safari tent holiday and these tents are the best so far). We spent most of a rainy Saturday afternoon in the hot tub and spent Sunday afternoon at Caerphilly castle. We spent evenings cooking and grilling together and enjoying the views from various tent balconies. Lydia and Richard were super responsive and helpful hosts. One final thing is that the log burners and logs were so easy to use (not always the case) and total novices were heating up cabins in no time 😆👍
Stunning little gem
What a wonderful find, under the oak glamping certainly lived up to its name . Lovely accommodation and picturesque views . Great base to explore the beautiful waterfalls , beaches and countryside. Would highly recommend this lovely place .
A beautiful base in wonderful wales!!
Well… where to start! What a wonderful 5 days in Dan y dderwen! Myself, my husband and our 2 kids (7&4) have had a brilliant few days exploring the surrounding areas with this amazing safari tent as our home. The tent is equipped with everything you could possibly need from firelighters & kindling to shower gel and towels. The beds are so comfy and the duvets are heavenly! The fairy lights in the “cosy bed” were a big hit!! The wood burner keeps the tent lovely & warm and the kids adored having their pyjamas warmed at night & making s’mores. The hot tub is so fun – once we got the hang of lighting it & keeping it warm and the views are incredible. We had a great big bit of lawn out the front where we played cricket, football and hide and seek…. The dog also learnt to swim in the pond!! (Sorry ducks!). We discovered the sandpit and the kids thought that was a brilliant addition. Lydia and Richard were on hand to answer questions when needed and they were totally dedicated to ensuring a faultless holiday. A wonderful break that we would all recommend to anyone!!
Perfect
We had an amazing time at under the oak this weekend. We stayed in cartref and it was perfect. Lovely and cosy for the two of us, exactly what I was looking for. The hot tub was the highlight of the weekend with wonderful views and the peacefulness of the countryside. It was very private as all lodges are spaced apart well. 100% would recommend staying here. Couldn’t have been better.
Superb place to relax!
My partner and I have been to Under the Oak Glamping twice now, and are trying to book a third visit in the next month or two. The surroundings are peaceful, hardly any noise other than for birds, cows and the odd tractor in the fields above the site. The safari tents are spacious and fully equipped so you do not miss the simple luxuries of hot and cold running water and a huge bathroom. Richard and Lydia can’t do enough for you before or during your stay; Lydia is actually keeping me updated on the duck family we adopted during our last visit – we are desperate to know the ducklings have flown with momma duck! I can’t recommend the site highly enough, you will not be disappointed at all!!
Peaceful
Wonderful spot up in the hills away from busy life. We stayed for four nights in Cartref – beautifully restored railway carriage with decking, hot tub and fire pit. Had everything you need for a comfortable stay (loved the little extras e.g. the welsh cakes and cooking oil), great to have the fire pit (sausage sizzle with family) and not really aware of the other accomodation as all so well spaced out. Only tip I’d give is to check the temperature of the hot tub water before adding more logs….we didnt and almost boiled ourselves!! Would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you so much to Lydia and Richard.
Fabulous!
Had an absolutely fabulous weekend glamping at Under the Oak. The safari tent was clean and comfy, had a lovely shower and the hot tub was the cherry on top. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the hussle and bustle of normal life.
We will be back soon
Beautiful peaceful place, lovely owners, spotless, comfy beds and such a pretty place with its own hot tub. Loved the ducks. I would recommend it to anyone
Perfect getaway
After a year long working and not much time off in between, My partner and myself wanted to book a hot tub cabin in the middle of know where to zone out from the world. We found it… This lovely cosy hot tub wagon was ideal and satisfied every request. The quite, the views, plus the hosts are very welcoming. We didn’t leave the wagon for two days ( Not even for a stroll )! Just what was needed. I have recommended and will definitely return.
Beautiful place!
Had a lovely weekend away in one of the gorgeous, quirky huts. Spotlessly clean, with everything you needed for a couple of days away. Beds were amazingly comfy! Brilliantly located, with lots of local walks nearby, but also only half an hour away from Cardiff, as well as other places of interest! Hot tub was lovely, and even used the firepit for a lovely BBQ! Will definitely be returning! Thank you!
