Lovely stay

Green, Shiwon - 23/07/2024

Nice campground that is centrally located - good for a short stay in the Peak district or to use as a stopover when passing through. Nice and open. Good tidy facilities - adequate with few guests - might struggle if the campground was full. Note that this campground is close to a busy A road - great for access but does mean some road noise. Fantastic for families with a playground and good pub on site. Lots of easy walking trails accessible directly from the campsite. We did a big loop out through Lathkill Dale the first day and another over parts of the High Line and around Chrome hill on day 3.The Tagg Lane Dairy is well worth a visit for amazing ice cream and Haddon Hall if history or gardens are your thing. Bakewell is a lovely town to wander about & shop and refuelling at the Thornbridge brewery a treat. My only query is why, when there were only a few bookings, were we all placed on sites right next to each other and not given a bit more space.

I cannot praise the staff at the pub enough. Nothing was a problem. Right from the initial booking of the campsite theywent the extra mile and beyond to help make our stay outstanding. It was lovely to see good old fashion customer service. The staff were obviously happy in their work and boy did it show. To top it all the food was excellent. Well done all of you I will definitely be coming back and recommending you at every opportunity I can.

A good base for visiting the area. Lovely views from the campsite. The availability of cooked food convenient. Free Wi-Fi very useful. Staff friendly.Sanitary facilities cleaned daily.Downside of the location for me was that it seemed to attract a lot of cloud and rain and was cold and windswept during my stay.The traffic played its part in waking me up in the night.

Lovely peaceful campsite

Crida, Chiara - 16/07/2024

The campsite is conveniently situated off a main road surrounded by fields of sheep and cows. Very calm and peaceful especially if you go out of school holidays. The attached pub has friendly staff and nice food. The toilet facilities are great and were cleaned every morning. This was my second time returning with my group of friends as we loved it so much last year.

Arrived on my own on a Friday afternoon, was greeted by a lovely friendly member of staff, showed to my pitch and what facilities available and where they were explained. Lovely clean site and having the pub on site is great, I had a drink and food there for the 2 nights I stayed, made to feel very welcome. Will definitely be returning. Thanks for a fab stay.
