Self Catering in Shropshire - Bronygarth

A beautiful, well-equipped place with some tired aspects
I stayed at Brookside Manor for 3 nights from the 17th to 20th February 2023 in a group of about 30 people. The Manor itself is stunningly gorgeous - huge, with rambling grounds and a beautiful view of the rolling fields. The dining room/room you enter via is lovely - those huge tables allow for everyone to sit and eat together, and there were candles lit when we first arrived, which was a lovely touch. The staircase is grand, the kitchen is cosy (especially the aga), and there are lots of conveniences, such as the multiple fridges, the kitchenette, the many bedrooms, the multiple en suites, and the cupboard containing an ironing board and various cleaning bits. Some bits of the manor are a bit tired and outdated. For example, the bathroom near bedroom 7 has a very flickery light, which isn't necessarily a problem for most people, but as someone who has seizures it meant I couldn't shower at night as it was strong enough to set them off. The lack of towels provided was also a frustration - the listing on the site we booked it via listed towels as provided, and we only found out they weren't provided the day before. I'd highly recommend staying at Brookside so long as you have access to a car or are willing to wait a bit for a taxi. You will also need to get a supermarket delivery or, again, be willing to drive. There are some lights that need fixing, areas which need a touch up of paint, general bits of repair, but it's a STUNNING place to spend time and I will absolutely be back!

Fantastic house for family getaway
Spent 4 wonderful days at this beautiful house, it's full of character and the perfect place to get all of the family together. Special memories made with my lovely Nan which I will treasure. So much for the kids to do, hot tub and sauna were the highlight. Spent the evenings in the conservatory which was my favourite room. Such a wonderful part of the country, nobody was ready to come home. Would highly recommend.

Perfect house for Eggselent Easter Full Family getaway
It was third time lucky for us, we?ve been trying for a long time to get to Brookside Manor House thanks to Covid. However it was definitely worth the wait. We were a group of 22 ranging from 3 months to 88 years old and the house and all it's amenities had plenty of space and things to do to keep us busy. Simon, the owner, was on hand and helped us out when we had a couple of issues with the showers and they were soon rectified. A truly memorable family stay!

Fantastic place and very helpful host
We stayed here for a large family celebration and had a great time. The pool was lovely and warm and a good size, and the hot tub was great. The bedrooms were spacious and there are lots of rooms downstairs such as library, piano room, snooker rooms, large dining space, kitchen diner, massive conservatory with wood burner so we weren?t on top of each other. We stayed here for 3 nights and visited Chirk castle which was nice but we were quite happy staying in the house. Simon was very helpful and accommodating.

Fantastic holiday home.
Brookside was a joy to stay in. The pool and hot tub are highlights. Some old reviews say the kitchen lacks glasses/ pots and pans- This isn't the case now. The house is full of character and was 30-40 min walk to Chirk, and a 15 min drive to a supermarket. Simon was a great host who answered all our questions and left us largely to our own devices. Looking forward to heading back
