Alwyn and Olive began the family business in Abermule as a Garage serving fuel, repairing vehicles and buying and selling cars. When the property behind the Garage became available they bought their first Park and as it was a ‘Smithy’ they naturally named it Smithy Park. Lifestyles changed, the garage was sold and Westbrook Farm was purchased whilst retaining Smithy Park. Westbrook Farm had access to ½ mile of fishing on the River Teme and in due course fishermen requested caravan and camping pitches alongside so that they could stay for longer, and so The Bestparks Family evolved along with two young boys, Glenn and Wayne.

Smithy is a special place where the River Mule flows into the River Severn, and the Montgomery Canal runs alongside. Mature trees and shrubs give the park a garden like setting along with peace and tranquility. The Park has a friendly, family feel, and is happy to nestle unobtrusively tucked away from the Village at Abermule and yet is only a minutes walk from the local Inns and shop.

An on site Park Warden helps with the day to day running as well as the ground maintenance. Fully heated facilities are available for caravan and camping customers along with a small children’s play area. Holiday Home owners just allow themselves to be enfolded in this blissful park in Mid Wales.

The Shepherds Hut

Firewood

First bag of logs is free, £5 thereafter.

The accommodation offered is an open plan living room, kitchen area and sectioned off bathroom with hot water, shower and heated towel rail. The living area has a table to seat four, chest of drawers, bookcase and a king-sized pull-out day bed, all warmed by a log burner and back up electric heater. A spiral staircase leads up to the sleeping platform above complete with double bed. The kitchen area has a fridge/freezer, combination microwave oven, gas hob, four slice toaster, kettle, hot water, cafetiere, cutlery, china and pots and pans and plenty of cupboard space.

Accessed through the back door from the kitchen area is a conservatory with a table and seating for four/five people. The Cabin is surrounded on two sides by a wide, covered veranda which houses the gas barbecue and where you can sit and admire the beautiful wooded landscape or watch the bats in the evening leaving for their nightly foray.

The property is accessed from the lane through a double gate into our garden where a car can be parked for unpacking (parking for one car is in the car park by the house). The Cabin is fenced off from our garden for peace and quiet and keeping the area as dog-proof as possible. There is a kennel with a run in the front garden area and the extensive veranda has a gate at either end so that dogs can be contained, whilst giving you some peace and keeping out muddy paws.
Such a uniquely beautiful valley can hardly fail to tempt those amongst you who have an artistic bent and there is a full size easel you can borrow. As the Cabin was initially designed as a studio, the living area has a large Velux window ideal for natural light and a selection of art and writing reference books for inspiration.

Look out for "Eddie" and friends! What used to be a bird hospital 15 years ago is now home to injured creatures of a wooden kind!

Raven's Retreat

Looking for a fantastic spot to pitch up your campervan for the night then look no further. With nearly 100 acres of beautiful land, you're sure to find a stunning spot to call your own. With only the stars and the sheep to keep you company, we guarantee you'll have a peaceful holiday in the hills of Shropshire. 

Whilst we think that these pitches are fantastic and offer peace and quiet in remote locations, they do not offer any facilities. For those looking for a little more comfort or conventional camping, these may not be your first choice.

Please bring your own portable camping toilet and remove waste responsibly.



Campervan Pitch

Here, at Hamperley Hideaways we’ve created a space just for you, with our Wild Camping, you are not booking your own camping pitch, you are booking the whole field to yourselves. So, no worrying about the neighbours being too loud - with no one else around in sight nor sound, this area of outstanding natural beauty is all yours to enjoy. And with our contact-free check-in, you can spend the whole trip in peace and quiet. 

With 10 individual camping spots dotted across our farm, there are plenty of choices to suit everyone. Each pitch is set up with a picnic table, fire pit and compost toilet. So all you need to do is pick your favourite spot and bring your tent!

Please, note that whilst we think these spots are fantastic, they may not be to everyone's tastes or requirements. There is no running water, electric or flush-able toilets - if you want a little more comfort during your break we recommend having a look at our Glamping Spaces

Wild Camping

Handmade using an old trailer as a base and salvaged materials from the Farm, the Hut couples a charming interior with an authentic feel. Fitted with just the basics of fire, bed and blankets, The Hut has all you need for your back-to-basic retreat in the hills.

Set alone in a ten-acre field of a small sheep farm, this is a truly remote location. With no one else around to share the panoramic views of the Shropshire countryside, apart from birds and bees-  It's your own private escape.

This cosy, rustic hut is the perfect way to get back to basics. With its own double bed, small kitchenette and wood-burning fire the Hut is the ideal space to get away from the modern world and reclaim the wild in you.  Small, but not confined, the Hut is ideal for cosying up at any time of year.

Because of the remote location of The Hut, and its simple facilities the Hut does not include:

Running Water  (Bottled drinking water is included)

Flushing Toilet (Compost Toilet on site)

On-site parking (short walk through a field)

We believe that this really adds to the authenticity and experience of a stay aimed to get people back into nature and away from modern life. However, we know this isn't for everyone and don't want to misrepresent ourselves -  If you require a little more comfort in your stay please email to enquire about our holiday barns.

Firepit

Idris our Shepherds Hut sits in a 3 acre wild flower meadow. Park on your private hard standing & follow the gravel path to find him. Take a moment to look at the view.. And listen - peaceful silence- just the stream rushing & the birds singing.
Once settled, take a seat either by the firepit, under the canopy or snuggled inside on the sheepskin bench & relax!
Tonight you’ll be sitting around the fire, toasting marshmallows, watching the starry skies the area is famous for.
Awake & from your bed take in breath-taking Cambrian mountain scenery, morning valley mists below, Red kites soaring above.
Now for breakfast - Cook up a feast on the gas BBQ in the adjoining undercover camp kitchen (preorder meat from our local butcher to be delivered & awaiting you) & enjoy a long hot shower in our beautiful off grid restored horse trailer bathroom & compost toilet hut with British organic shower products which is located right beside you.
Time for decisions – will you be off adventuring? The area is known for its walking /mountain bike routes. Or you can explore the woodland paths & hilltops on the farm and walk into Llanidloes if you want to go further & get great organic coffee. This area offers so much choice.
Will you instead just stop? Be still & quiet & enjoy a digital detox? Grabbing a book and immersing yourself in your meadow is just as nice a way to spend your stay.

Idris was so named after the farmer who preserved this place as his life's work. Our farm is 1200ft high, totally private & unspoilt. We are privileged to be its custodians & the profits from our glamping help us to manage the land. We ask for you to embrace this ethos, recycle using the bins provided, keep fires to the designated fire pit area & respect the countryside code.
We are mostly off grid so expect fairy lights & solar but there’s USB charging & heating in Idris. Along with your welcome basket of welsh produce there’s towels, bedding included. In the kitchen there’s tea/coffee.

We look forward to welcoming you!
