Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

Liked Good facilities; fantastic playground, swimming pool (need to book), decent shop, washing up area, modern toilets, and lots of camping types. Roads were very well maintained and was a safe place to bring children.

Non electric pitch was quiet and large.

Disliked Non electric field was very sloped and very busy when we arrived. Field was quite far from facilities; sort of feels like non electric is a bit forgotten about with no facilities nearby. Electric pitches either had good views, or were near the playground and were flat.

The toilets and showers, although modern and clean when we arrived were pretty disgusting by the end of it, and seemed like they were maybe cleaned once in the four days we were there based upon what I saw.

Given it was the most expensive non electric we saw in the area it probably didn't justify the price point.

Liked The views were stunning, the campsite wasn’t too loud. Despite being told bedding wasn’t provided, it was. The pods were quite roomy

Disliked It wasn’t glamping, it was more like being on a school trip in a shed. Every other glamping pod I’ve stayed at has had a glamorous aspect, tea, coffee, a kettle, sometimes even a small fridge and a way to cook. Empty pods had their outside lights left on all night by the cleaning crew. Our shower was used by someone else, we only left it unlocked so that we could all shower one after another without having to lock and unlock each time. As far as glamping goes we will not be returning. There was nothing to make this a better experience than camping other than there being proper beds. These should not be advertised as glamping pods, just enclosed pods or sheds with beds. Nothing glamorous to report at all. Check in was far too late considering check out time. You don’t get to spend your first day doing anything other than unpack and figure out a way to cook without a cooker, microwave and a no bbq rule.

Liked The safe were all so nice and friendly across site. Especially in the shop, where they made our children feel happy. The site is absolutely immaculate. The park is great too. Swimming pool well controlled and not crowded.

Disliked The only slight problem is the toilets for the bottom camping field is a good walk. Not so ideal on the evenings.

Liked The location, the size of the pod, individual bathrooms and washing up sinks next to the pod, accessibility to Tissington trail, the swimming pool, and the playground.

Disliked Lack of coffee/tea facilities. The park could benefit from a decent coffee/tea facilities, or a little cafe. The truck that is on offer with food and drinks is open in limited hours and although the food was good, it was also quite limited and no vegetarian options.

Liked Easy Location
Great for walks & exploring
Onsite park & swimming pool great for the kids
Site is clean

Disliked Non Electric Camping was on a hill, this made it a very uncomfortable & impossible stay. Whilst sleeping you was sliding in your sleeping bags, eating & drinking at a table was impossible due to the plates/cups sliding on the table.
There is no toilet/shower block for the non electric campers and you have to walk 5 minutes to the main faculties - not suitable with children especially late at night/early morning. Ended up leaving a day early. Sadly won’t be returning.

Liked Very clean and tidy. Toilet/shower facilities good. Really good park area fir children.

Disliked Washing up facilities not central. Quite a walk for a lot of the pitches. Dog walk good but chased by cows and no warning signs about cows. Pitch we were in was very uneven. Expected even pitch at the price we paid

Liked The scenery and hills were beautiful, long winding roads, people were generous with their support and time, always willing to give their best effort in making us, outsiders, welcome.

Disliked Not much, but possibly add a Elsan chemical waste area nearer to the tourist toilets.
