  • Peaceful and secluded farm site on the banks of the River Severn
  • Private stretch of river and pond available for fishing
  • Breakfasts and café on site; firepit hire available
What a lot there is to do around this peaceful and secluded Mid Wales site a short hop from the Wales/England border. And you may well like to start with some fishing right there on Brook House Farm Camping and Caravan Site’s own stretch of the River Severn – 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.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Couldn’t have had a better welcome from Sam and Julia and all the other guests. Fabulous site by the river, ideal for peace and quiet or having a lovely meal and drink with great company at The Potting Shed. Facilities are great. Can’t wait to book our next stay. Ideal location for mid Wales or popping back over the border to Shropshire

Disliked: Nothing

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: The site had been badly affected by flooding but we could still park up & connect. The site owner was friendly & advised us on local amenities

Disliked: It was difficult to find as the sat nav followed the post code which was misleading. Also flood damage meant that online facilities were very limited

Lodge (no pets, twin)

Liked: Clean and tidy site. Cabins were very well presented, very clean and tidy. Toilet, shower and wash rooms were also clean and tidy. Beautiful scenery, quiet and very relaxing.

Disliked: We chose this site to go fishing on the Lake, as it was advertised. It was not a Lake but a small pond.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (adults only)

Liked: Travelling with a couple of friends on motorbikes and we chose this as our base for a long weekend. Very clean and tidy site with a lovely atmosphere in a peaceful location. Ideal base camp for trips into Wales. Was quite busy when we were there so they put in some additional portaloos to ensure there were adequate facilities. On site bar/cafe is excellent and they do offer breakfast providing you order the night before (although this wasn’t available on the Monday when we departed). Just as a point to note, they don’t normally offer meals in the evening (apart from some evening events; it was Pizza Night when we arrived which was really good). However, if you want an evening meal and are prepared for a short(ish) walk or drive there are some good local pubs. There is WiFi in the cafe/bar and we all had a phone signal.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

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.
