Very good site, excellent location johnsmith (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Underfloor heated showers, real ale in the pub, log fires, fantastic fresh ground coffee in the cafe, most of all the numerous walks and cycle trails direct from the park into Dovedale - a real walker & cyclists paradise. Also the huge number of things to do when it was wet Chatsworth, Gullivers Kingdom and so on. Disliked: Although everything was very clean, some things were a bit untidy - the shed roof with a tarp on it, construction equipment in the car park. Not disastrous - just unnecessary. |

Underwhelmed becca-forsyth-edwards (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Liked our pitch (no 1) as was sheltered on two sides by hedges good for privacy, good distance to shower block, good shower block. Fab area of peaks for exploring Disliked: If shower block is cleaned everyday not sure how well, same clumps of hair in shower for three days. The road a very main a road quite noisy with lots of bikes and lorries at all hours, it's quite close to the main road. Was really let site down was customer service and range of goods in shop. We love this area of uk as people are generally soooo friendly , helpful and chatty , not the case here. They re not rude by any means but not as welcoming or helpful as you would expect, with that and noise from road we would |

Liked: Lovely setting in a former quarry with modern facilities and a bar, shop and cafe. Disliked: Very poor customer experience spoiled the trip for my family and the family we visited with.
From the manager...
This is now some time ago, but there was an intermittent electrical fault with the boiler that was hard to trace - until it finally expired. When it did, our staff drove around frantically over the weekend trying to find bits for an industrial heating system for our electrcian & plumber - which is why we had hardly any staff left to empty the bins etc etc. To add to the fun it was muddy and, amazingly, some people were taking their dirty pets into the shower building, which was cleaned twice daily - but you would hardly have known it. We put a sign up apologising for the hot water problems in the toilet building and bought a brand new boiler for thousands rather than wait weeks for new part. A nightmare for us. Our apologies for any inconvenience. |

Thank you for your comments. The toilet building is cleaned at least once per day (low season), twice or 3 times per day high season. We have been short of staff which has resulted in some part time help which has been trained............but not quite there yet, for which you have our apologies.
Usually, road noise does not intrude into the pitching area because it is seperated at its nearest point from the road by wooded embankments and cliffs which shield it from the prevailing south-westerly wind. However, if the wind is (unusually) blowing from the North you can get some road noise carried on the wind, which it does for miles because there is very little background noise.
