lovely secluded place in the south of wales, amazing views and so nice and quiet. We booked the shepherds hut as our ‘Mini Moon’ for 4 nights. We loved our 5 days in Wales and had a great stay. The little cabin was set under a large tree up the hill which had amazing views! …

Corinna – August 2021

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, …

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 …

The decor is simple but beautiful, all the mod cons and a lovely view from the top of the hill. This is …

If I could give 100 stars I would! We recently spent a long weekend at Under the Oak in the 6-man tent – two parents and grown-up children. What a weekend – it really did surpass all expectations and was perfect in every way! Richard & Lydia were lovely hosts, welcoming us on arrival and …

Emmy – July 2019

Situated on a working farm, high on the mountain above Bedwas with amazing views for miles this is definitely a place to visit. The safari tents are so well equipped. This is glamping on another level! Everything has been thought of- crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, bedding, towels etc. You literally only need to bring yourself, …

Janey – June 2019

Wonderful place for a large group! Recently went to Under the Oak with a group of 13 people. It was great – the height of luxury camping! Flushing loos and hot showers right inside the tents, with hobs and hot water for washing up. Note that if you are planning on going with a big …

Mel – August 2018

Would highly recommend this beautiful getaway. Amazing scenery and tranquility away from our hectic lifestyles. Loved every minute of making fires and cooking on the fire pit! Inquisitive cows 🐮 and wildlife at night around the lake!! To top it off the one of a kind hot tub…just what we needed after a long walk! You have …
