Overview of Brokerswood Holiday Park 

Brokerswood Holiday Park is set within approximately 80 acres of woodland near Westbury in Wiltshire, combining a five acre lake, woodland trails and outdoor activities with a choice of caravans, lodges and couples pods. View our full range of holiday parks in Wiltshire here.

The woodland setting is one of the park's strongest features. Holiday accommodation is spread among mature trees and open areas, with selected stays positioned close to or overlooking the lake. Guests can follow woodland paths, use picnic areas and spend time around the water without needing to leave the park each day.

Accommodation includes two and three bedroom caravans and two, three and four bedroom lodges. Private hot tubs are available with selected caravans and lodges, while compact woodland pods sleep two and also include private hot tubs. Selected accommodation welcomes dogs.

The five acre lake is used for fishing as well as seasonal outdoor activities. Anglers can fish for carp, mirror carp, roach and perch, while organised sessions can include canoeing and kayaking. Archery and axe throwing sessions add further activities for families and groups.

Brokerswood is also particularly well positioned for exploring Wiltshire and neighbouring Somerset. Longleat is around 10 miles away, while Bath, Bradford on Avon, Frome, Stonehenge and Stourhead can all be reached for days out.

Accommodation Comparison

Practical Accommodation Information

Park Facilities at Brokerswood Holiday Park

The lake and woodland are at the centre of the facilities at Brokerswood. Fishing, paddling and organised outdoor activities give the park substantially more to offer than simply being accommodation surrounded by trees.

Fishing at Brokerswood Holiday Park

The five acre lake is one of Brokerswood's strongest reasons to book, particularly for visitors who want fishing immediately beside their holiday accommodation.

The lake is stocked with perch, roach, carp and mirror carp, providing straightforward coarse fishing for both regular anglers and guests who simply want to spend a few hours beside the water.

Fishing is free for holiday guests with a valid Environment Agency rod licence.

Current fishing hours run from 7am until dusk. Anglers can use a maximum of two rods and must use barbless hooks and a landing net.

Keepnets and groundbait are not permitted. The approved baits are maggots, sweetcorn and luncheon meat, helping the park manage the lake and protect its fish stocks.

All fish must remain in the lake and discarded fishing line should be removed carefully to protect wildlife.

The combination of woodland surroundings, lakeside accommodation and free fishing makes Brokerswood particularly suitable for visitors who want angling to be a regular part of their holiday rather than a separate day trip.

Canoeing and Kayaking

The lake is also used for organised paddling sessions.

Canoeing and kayaking activities allow guests to explore the water rather than simply view it from the shore. Equipment and instruction are provided through organised sessions, making them suitable for holidaymakers who do not normally travel with their own watersports equipment.

Sessions are run through Wiltshire Outdoor Learning Team and need to be booked separately. Availability varies through the season, with additional sessions generally offered during Wiltshire school holidays.

Archery

Archery sessions provide another substantial activity away from the lake.

Instruction helps beginners learn the basic technique before guests practise their aim at the targets. This works particularly well for families with older children and groups looking for something more active than a woodland walk.

Axe Throwing

Axe throwing sessions are also available through the outdoor activity programme.

The activity is supervised and gives teenagers and adults a more unusual experience during their stay. Sessions operate on selected dates and should be booked in advance.

Woodland Walks

Brokerswood sits within approximately 80 acres of established woodland.

Paths wind through mature trees and more natural areas, with parts of the woodland deliberately managed to encourage wildflowers and native plants.

The routes can become muddy and uneven, particularly after rain, so suitable footwear is useful.

For guests bringing dogs, couples wanting a morning walk or families wanting to explore without getting in the car, the woodland adds genuine value throughout the stay.

Children's Play Area

Children have an outdoor adventure play area where they can climb and play between other activities.

Combined with the woodland, lake and picnic areas, this gives families several straightforward ways to spend time outdoors without arranging a formal activity session.

Picnic Areas

Picnic spots are positioned around the grounds and woodland, allowing guests to take food away from the accommodation and spend more time outside.

They are particularly useful around fishing sessions, woodland walks and family days where guests do not want to leave the park.

Dog Friendly Breaks

Selected accommodation welcomes dogs and the extensive woodland provides plenty of opportunities for walks directly around the park.

Guests should keep dogs under appropriate control around wildlife, the lake and other accommodation.

Shop

The small on park shop carries holiday essentials, reducing the need to drive into Westbury for every basic item.

EV Charging

Designated electric vehicle charging points are available around the park.
