Anonymous Bell tent (four person)
Liked The park and swimming pool were great and clean.
Disliked The toilets were too much of a walk when you have small children. Also walking through a wooded area when it’s pitched black isn’t nice.
The portaloos that were the only option in the field we were in were absolutely disgusting. They smelt and were full. My children constantly asked what that smell was as we could smell them in our tent.

Lovely family friendly site
Anonymous Bell tent (four person)
Liked Lovely site. We stayed in one of the new bell tents which were brilliant. Our daughter enjoyed the space to run around and very much enjoyed the swimming pool and playground. Proximity to the Tissington Trail was a bonus so we could cycle to Ashbourne and Tissington. Lovely traffic free relatively flat route perfect for our daughter who is still leartto cycle. Lots to do in the area as well. The staff at the site are also very friendly and cannot do enough to help.
Disliked The bell tents are certainly new and I get the feeling the field they and additional camping are in is new as well. In the future I hope they add a toilet and shower block with washing up facilities to this field as it was a little bit of a walk to the other block to do washing up or have a shower. The Portaloos for the bell tents were brilliant though.

Really lovely campsite shame about the beds.
Bell tent (four person)
Liked Well maintained campsite and the location of the Bell tents was lovely. The Bell tents themselves were spacious well laid out. The staff were also great.
Disliked Portaloos - though I understand why
Beds - Really uncomfortable and the reason why it wasn't a10. The metal base was like a tea tray with the mattress not being deep enough to compensate.

Excellent clean facilities, staff were really friendly when approached
Bell tent (four person)
Liked Beautiful Bell tent, clean tidy & the surrounding area is just perfect for a relaxing break. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, super easy to book & a great added bonus.
Disliked The only thing I have to say is the quality of the mattresses in the bell tents, there more like a camping mat rather than a “mattress”. Quick trip to the range & £15 later on an air bed & we were more than happy.

What customers say
This is a popular, well-maintained site with friendly staff, excellent for families. Guests praise the spacious pitches, cleanliness, great play area, and warm indoor swimming pool. Its location provides easy access to the Tissington Trail and local attractions. Some minor issues include the distance to the toilet block from some pitches and occasional reports of dated facilities needing updating.

Overall a fantastic stay
Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)
Liked Lovely well kept site. In great location for various trails and also not far from Bakewell etc. great park for the kids and swimming pool. Shame we only stayed for a few days.
Disliked A minor but hard standing pitches could do with being levelled a bit as on a slope. please get some WiFi installed for tourers as phone signal is non existent.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Clean, quiet, spacious pitches. Had good links for cycling and visiting Derbyshire.
Disliked Maybe a clubhouse, with a bar and games in the evening with a bit of background music. The showers were stone cold on our last morning, couldn’t actually get under it. The WiFi was unusable, unable to connect to it at anytime.

Camping pod (ensuite)
Liked The location was great, very close to a lovely walking trail and only about an hour’s walk from Ashbourne. The site was very quiet and peaceful, and the little swimming pool was a nice bonus.
Disliked There were a few things we were disappointed with. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable, and the outside light by our pod didn't work. We reported it, but unfortunately it wasn't repaired during our stay. Also no mini fridge which will be a plus.
WiFi is not free

Anonymous Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)
Liked Area was very good to visit the likes of Bakewell/Matlock Bath
Disliked We came with our touring caravan 3 years ago and everything about the place was spot on. We even had our own en-suite at the back of the van with our own washing up sink. This area is now for pods only. We had to use the communal showers and toilets and the outside washing up sink. Unfortunately the cleanliness was not very good, toilets cleaned daily however the shower I used each day had a leaf on the floor of the shower nearly the whole time I used it. To use the shower there was only a three pronged hook to hang everything on. No area to put your shower gel and hair shampoo and conditioner apart from a very small window sill which you needed to turn the bottles almost sideways so they didn’t drop on the floor.
