About Castle Farm Holidays Shropshire

Castle Farm is a small, family run site, in the heart of Shropshire. Here glamping accommodation is sited next to a wooded dingle, and if you are lucky, you can hear owls hooting, woodpeckers tapping and buzzards flying overhead. 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. Each has electricity, plus a fridge, kettle and microwave, and an electric fire for those chillier days. Outside is a picnic bench where you can dine in the fresh air. Dogs are welcome to join you in all accommodations.

A note from the site themselves...

We love welcoming guests and their dogs to the lovely hamlet of Dudleston near Ellesmere. We hope that guests enjoy exploring Shropshire (a hidden gem)! Close to the border of Wales, it's so easy to visit two countries in one stay.

Opening in 2017, we proudly welcome guests to our site. Past guests love the peacefulness and enjoy just relaxing and listening to the birdsong from the wide varieties that visit us and exploring the local area. We love hearing where they have visited. We even have lots of leaflets for ideas in our sunroom and ideas for local walks in the pods.

We hope to provide guests with a relaxing break in the countryside and help them to enjoy their visit to the surrounding areas.

Camping Pod - Beech PodJul 2024

My 13yr old and I stayed for two nights in the beech pod. It was a lovely, peaceful site with clean facilities. The pod had comfy beds, the fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle were great to have. There were a lot of places to visit within a 20 minute drive. Chirk Castle and Wrexham are well worth a visit. We had a great couple of days, made even better by the sunshine.

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful setting
