A note from the site themselves...

We are a husband a wife team with many years experience of giving exceptional customer service. We moved to Wales after falling in love with the beaches and mountains we experienced after spending many weekends here exploring in our self-built campervan Max.

We decided to open Silver Fern Glamping and welcome guests to come and share our little slice of heaven that we share with our horses, two dogs and Deniz the Cat. As for the Name.... Shaun originally grew up in New Zealand so is very much a Kiwi at heart and instantly felt like Wales was the closest he had ever felt to being back in the land of the long white cloud hence the name Silver Fern.

Shepherd's Hut - Bracken Shepherd's Hut (Pet Friendly)Aug 2024

Silver Fern was everything we hoped it would be and more. Communication beforehand was brilliant and attention to detail throughout our whole stay was second to none. Clearly an awful lot of thought has gone in to ensuring their glampers' needs are met and indeed surpassed. Highlights for us were the outdoor bath, the bed, the breakfast and cheese hampers, fire pit, the quality of absolutely everything, the dog secure fields and garden and the welcome touches for them in the hut. What was obvious was the warmth that came through from Silver Fern towards us; the honesty shop onsite, through all their communication - be it signs, thoughtful touches, info in the hut, emails and in person. Thank you Silver Fern for a flawless and fabulous stay.
