Firstly, can I say that we can’t believe that this is on our door step and so happy that we stumbled across Under The Oak Glamping on Instagram. We really don’t appreciate what’s on our doorstep . . . Well, until now 🥰 It’s an absolutely stunning location on a family run farm in the Welsh mountains. The views are incredible. Lydia & Richard are the most friendly, welcoming hosts. We spent the weekend in Cynefin Railway Carriage. . . The Most Beautiful Little Home for the Weekend. The decor is done to a very high standard. We loved the little en suite & the wood fire hot tub. The log burner was a great touch, felt so cosy in the evenings 😍 We had the best nights sleep. Under The Oak Glamping is the Perfect Getaway. Wonderful Stay & Wonderful Hostess 🏞 We will definitely be back with our family & friends soon🥰

Beautiful escape to the countryside

We booked the wagon and when we arrived Richard had the woodburner going which was fabulous as it was already dark even though it was late afternoon December. The decor is simple but beautiful, all the mod cons and a lovely view from the top of the hill. This is a fabulous place to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. All the equipment is there to make fab food and in the morning as the snow fell and the bacon sizzled we fired up the hot tub. It takes a couple of hours and plenty of wood so don’t be stingy with it as you are worth it! Peppered with walks, reading, Backgammon, cooking and friendlies, a day in a hot tub with great views across the valley was the perfect birthday treat: the morning snow flurry, the midday sunshine, the early evening blue/pink sunset and then the stars appearing was an absolute joy. So close to home in Cardiff, I felt like we were a million miles away. With no one overlooking as you are on the top of the hill we felt such freedom. It was simply the best.

Wonderful yet again

This is our second visit to Under the Oak and yet again it didn’t disappoint. We stayed in the converted carriage again because we loved it so much last time. This time the bath had been swopped for a log fire hot tub which was just wonderful, stepping outside into the hot tub for a glass of wine before dinner was just perfect. The weather was horrendous while we were there but there is definitely something magical about sitting inside all warm and cosy, log burner blazing while the wind and rain howl outside….needless to say we will definitely be returning as soon as we can

Fantastic glamping experience

We have just returned from a weekend here where we were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery and go for walks straight from the tent. we loved having the hot tub and were lucky enough to see a firework display in the distance one night when we were in the hot tub.

Relaxing, private and great views!

We stayed in the converted carriage following a recommendation from friends. What an absolute gem of a place! The outside bath was a huge hit, nothing more relaxing than a soak in the tub watching the sunset. The place is so relaxing and peaceful, we will definitely be back.

We glamped at Under The Oak during lockdown: 5 of us and the dog in the Safari tent. The tent was lovely: very clean and nicely decorated. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The hot tub was great. Tip: if you are going in the Autumn budget extra for wood: we went through quite a few bags for the fire and hot tub. We had our own private spot with a great view. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful place to come and relax with your family or just couples, with very pleasant hosts. We booked the safari tent for just myself and my partner for her birthday and have to say were not disappointed! beautiful cosy living quarters with a romantic set bed which you have to climb a small ladder to get into, the bathroom is spacious and the decking and hot tub outside sets everything off perfectly. Would be a beautiful stay for children with fantastic walks to keep everyone busy through out the day, would highly recommend and most definitely be coming back with family.

This is a definite 5 star for us, what an amazing place. We stayed in the converted railway carriage called Cynefin and it was absolutely gorgeous. Super cute Everything you need including an outside bath which we really wasn’t sure about until we used it. We loved it!! Thanks Lydia & Richard for making our stay so amazing

Peaceful place in beautiful location

We booked to stay during local lockdown and we enjoyed the family time together. The children enjoyed the hot tub at night watching the stars and marshmallows on the fire. The mud kitchen & sand pit we’re a big hit for the children! Thank you both for wonderful stay

Glorious views, luxurious camping

What an absolutely idyllic spot with incredible views. Lovely owners. High quality and robust Safari tent, fire pit, wood fired hot tub and facilities. I highly recommend. And I only live 10 minutes drive away!!!
