What customers say

Great peaceful glamping spot. Spacious tents, private loos, and a well-kitted outdoor kitchen. Hosts are super helpful & generous with local tips. Lovely for nature fans. Only downside? No phone signal.

Pili Pala bell tent

Liked Nice and quiet location. Lovely little play area for the children.

Disliked The condition of the flooring that the tent was on was particularly concerning. It felt unsafe and my youngest tripped a few times due to the dips and unevenness of the flooring. 4 out of 5 of us had showers, unfortunately the water kept running hot and cold, which proved a challenge. The cushions/ pads for the seating area outside were unclean, and honestly the overall feel was that was run down and in need of work.

Excellent hut, spotlessly clean and well equipped.

Pili Pala bell tent

Liked It was our second visit to the site and we weren't disappointed. We found the accommodation extremely comfortable, with lots of thoughtful touches. The site is peaceful with just two pitches, but with plenty to do in the surrounding area. The hosts were incredibly helpful and generous throughout our stay.

Liked Amazing experience, all the comforts of home but with excitement of camping. We had an amazing time, the hosts really have thought of everything, well needed escape from technology! The welcome basket was a nice touch and the bell tent was huge, we was a family of 4 and had plenty of space.

Pili Pala bell tent

Liked It’s clear from the moment you arrive that the owners of this site have gone above and beyond to make your experience a special one. Issac showed us everything we needed and was so kind to give us more information on places we hoped to visit.
The bell tent we stayed in was stunning, filled with homely touches and plenty of space. The welcome basket was such a pleasant touch and greatly appreciated.
You have your own private shower and toilet which are kept perfectly clean with towels provided.
The site itself is a haven. If you love the sounds of nature whilst having the comforts of glamming then this site really is for you. The owners have done so much to enhance the biodiversity, there are floral areas for bees, no mow sections to increase butterflies and plenty of birds to see. We visited Nash point, took a coastal walk to Monkton Beach and visited the town of Cowbridge which where all memorable and recommended by Hannah and Patrick.
If you do find yourself forgetting anything they have kindly set up a shed shop with any extras you may need.
Overall it was a blissful weekend we will never forget and we will be back!
Thank you again for a lovely stay.

Disliked Nothing! Keep doing what you are doing because you have created something special.

Pili Pala bell tent

Liked We felt so comfortable and welcome. The site was quiet and beautiful, with a full range of amenities. As it was rainy while we were there we enjoyed the seating area inside the tent for reading in the evening. The extra touches were really appreciated, including hot water bottles and a welcome basket. Gorgeous experience.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your very kind comments. They really made us smile and we hope to see you again :-) It means a lot thank you!

Local attractions

If it’s South Wales beaches you’re longing for, walk past streams and waterfalls to Monknash beach (five minutes’ drive or 40 minutes’ walk), backed by steep cliffs and with expanses of soft sand at low tide. As it takes a bit of getting there, you may have it to yourselves. Stroll to Nash Point (55 minutes) to investigate the historic lighthouse, or Dunraven Bay (an hour and 20 minutes) for swimming and surfing on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. Back inland, the market town of Cowbridge (15 minutes’ drive) has a lively high street lined with independent shops and lots of dining options – ask the site owners for their recommendations. Cardiff (40 minutes) is the spot for a boat ride across the bay, a night out at the theatre or a potter around the 11th-century castle. Adding more culture to the mix, you might like to have wander around the landscaped gardens at National Trust-owned Dyffryn Gardens (25 minutes), before treating the kids to the vintage planes and WWII bombers at South Wales Aviation Museum (10 minutes) – also a smart idea for any rainy days.
