  • Peaceful and secluded farm site on the banks of the River Severn
  • Private stretch of river and pond available for fishing
  • Breakfasts, café, firepit hire and farm shop with local produce
What a lot there is to do around this peaceful and secluded Mid Wales site a short hop from the Wales/England border. Take your pick from fishing on Brook House Farm Camping and Caravan Site’s own stretch of the River Severn, hiring a bike to pedal around the Welsh Marches, or meandering around the nearby meadows for flora and fauna spotting… all in a lush countryside setting between Welshpool and Shropshire’s county town Shrewsbury. You may be meandering between countries on day trips but one constant in all this is the pristine views on site, with the park set in pretty countryside on the banks of the River Severn with buzzards and the occasional red kite soaring overhead. A spotlessly clean shower block is to hand for guests' use, along with a washing-up area on site. The site is based in the grounds of the Brook House Farm B&B, where you can have breakfast. Or tuck into nosh at the café, use the squeaky clean on-site kitchen, or hire a firepit to sizzle supper under the stars with local produce and essentials from the farm shop and well-stocked shop.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: In spite of booking and confirming, the site wasn’t open

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The site was open but as explained on the phone I had a family emergency which meant I would not be there to greet you on arrival. When I spoke to you on the phone explaining the situation you wasn't very happy as you wanted to arrive early due to having a table booked to go for a meal. As a solution to the situation I proposed I could book you in where you was going for a meal as they are also a B&B. I refunded you £25 as a good will gesture so you could have a few drinks with your meal. You was more than happy to accept this so I am unsure why you have left a negative review.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: Could put the tent wherever you wanted, gorgeous views of the river, everything nice and close to one another (toilets, restaurant, pond) We loved our stay as 4 adults and 4 children, wasn’t over crowded and we could sit outside the tent a bit later. Everything is so close to the campsite, we took a 25 min drive to a lovely farm for the children. Also close to many petrol garages/food places. We will definitely be back!

Disliked: Nothing!

From the manager: Glad you all had a great time :-)

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The bar and option to eat on site

Disliked: Was a large party that took over the site - did not get a proper pitch - gift shop not open- no toilet paper but probably understaffed for the event - had to listen to bingo and karaoke- would have liked to have been warned and offered a cancellation as ruined my stay - probably very nice if you are not in the middle of someone else’s event

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry that Brook House wasn't for you. Yes there was a large group that was on site but they hadn't overtook the site, all entertainment was done by 10pm. The site was open to the public along with the cafe/bar, when the cafe/bar is open the shop is open, you have to enter the shop from inside the cafe/bar, maybe you was trying the outside door which is always locked. There is 3 toilets and I would be very surprised if they had all ran out of paper at the same time, if you had brought this to my attention it would have been resolved. On the plus side glad you like the onsite bar :-)

Great place would definitely go again

Local attractions

Lace up your walking boots: with Brook House Farm midway between Welshpool and Shropshire’s county town Shrewsbury, it’s a shrewd place to stop to see the Shropshire Hills and Mid Wales on an active family hol. Shropshire has over 3500 miles’ worth of right of way paths for longer distance hikes and shorter strolls; the 210-mile Severn Way passes along nearby for taking a hike along it on a day trip or stopping off at Brook Farm if you’re attempting it all. The Offa’s Dyke Path can be accessed from here too: the very helpful Brook House Farm owners can arrange a shuttle bus for you to join the trail if you let them know in advance. For less tired feet, a plethora of outdoor pursuits within easy reach of the farm includes horse riding, mountain biking and golf; paragliding and lessons are available at nearby Rodney’s Pillar and the Long Mynd. Land some slippery characters by casting off on the River Severn: Brook House’s own stretch of river yields barbel into double figures, but there are shoals of other nearby spots to land salmon, trout and grayling. There are some commercial fisheries within 20 minutes’ drive to thrash things out at too, such as Weston Pool near Oswestry. Once you’ve cleaned off your catch and soothed your sore feet, jump into the car for some historical highlights: the medieval fortress Powis Castle with its famous French and Italian garden; Shrewsbury Castle with the Shropshire Regimental Museum Trust; the Red Castle and Grotto Hill of the 18th-century Hawkstone Historic Park & Follies, and the town of Shrewsbury, with over 600 listed buildings.
