Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Pitch was in great space with facilities nearby. Plenty of shower, sinks and toilets, although large numbers of campers, there was no waiting and plenty of hot water. Great for walking the Limestone Way around Monyash. Pitches behind a very nice friendly pub with great food.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Originally booked for a tent pitch, owners managed to change us to a bell tent due to the up coming bad weather. Excellent accommodation. Beautiful little camp site with play parks and huts for the children. Pub is also Beautiful.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Due to the weather we stayed on the gravel track as the grass area was very boggy . On arrival the staff were very friendly and very helpful, our electric hook up was not long enough so they gave us an extension. The bar was fry dog friendly and the staff were amazing

Local attractions

This countrified site is close to beauty spots like Dovedale (20 minutes' drive), where you can stroll along the water's edge and picnic by the far-farmed stepping stones. For a more adventurous (and hillier) trek on foot, pick up the nearby Limestone Way in Monyash (five minutes). Looking for cycle hire? Head to Parsley Hay (five minutes) to hire bikes (including accessible models) and tandems. This is where the High Peak and Tissington trails meet (both run along flat former railway lines, so there's little chance you'll run out of puff). Chatsworth House (20 minutes) has grand gardens and elegant interiors to admire (there's also a guinea pig village that's likely to revive any tiddlers suffering from museum fatigue). Buxton (15 minutes) is a spa town of similarly posh repute and is full of boutique shops, ornate terraces and cultural sites (it also plays host to the Buxton Festival throughout the month of July). It's also home to two popular golf courses (the Cavendish Golf Club for hot shots and Peak Practice Golf for newbies).
