About Castle Farm Holidays Shropshire

It's ideally situated to visit the whole county, Cheshire and North Wales. There are four lovely cosy wooden pods, with several different interiors to suit families, couples, and friends. The Willow pod has the added bonus of its own hot tub. You'll also find one lovely shepherd's hut with a hot tub too.

Dogs are welcome to join you in all accommodations.

Lovely one night stay with young family

We had a lovely stay. It was our first family glamping trip (2 kids and a dog). The facilities were really nice and clean. The pod was lovely. We took a BBQ and then we used the fire pit in the evening, roasting marshmallows for the camping experience. The pod had a heater which was great as we were worried about the cold with our kids as they are still little, but it was nice and warm at night. We will definitely be going back

Just stayed for two nights in The Willow Pod with hot tub with my sister and niece. Helen the owner was very helpful and communicative. The site was spotless and so peaceful, the pods were very clean and comfortable. We had the best two nights sleep. Would highly recommend to stay here.

Things to do on site and in the Ellesmere area
In the local area you'll find, the meres at Ellesmere, all the fun of horse riding, quad bike rides and horse drawn canal boats along the Llangollen and Montgomery Canals.
If you're a big fan of steam trains, Llangollen will suit you perfectly and for thrill seekers it also has white water rafting, and a lovely walk up to Castell Dinas for great views over Llangollen. For younger children there is Park Hall Countryside Experience at Whittington, Bewilderwood nr Malpas.
For Watersport fans there is Alderford Lake at Whitchurch for paddleboarding etc.
The site can give you the details of a company that will drop off bikes to the site for you to hire, so you can pedal off and explore without needing your car.
Ellesmere has its mere (lakes) where you can hire boats in the summer, walk around the mere, visit the play area, take a picnic to eat in the gardens, or have a coffee at the Boathouse.
Oswestry has a Countryside Experience at Park Hall, great for the children to meet the animals, and even have a history lesson by visiting the WW1 trenches.
Chirk is the place to have a walk along the canal, cross the aqueduct and walk through the tunnel. Step back in time and visit Chirk Castle.
Slightly further afield is the Designer Outlet village of Cheshire Oaks, and the Blue Planet Aquarium.
For fans of National Trust properties, there are a range of castles and stately homes- Erddig Hall, Attingham Park and Powys Castle.
The market town of Oswestry is close by, with its indoor and outdoor markets. Cae Glas Park and independent shops can be found here.
In the small village of Erbistock there are two pubs in picturesque settings, The Cross Foxes and The Boat, both set on the banks of the River Dee. If you love trying other homey local pubs, The Poachers at Chirk is by the canal, and has also has a children's play area.
Other fun ideas:
- Mountain bike trails over the Llandegla Moors
- Golf courses around Oswestry
- Fishing
- Chester Zoo
- Climbing the Walls in Shrewsbury
- The Escape Room, Chester
