Secret non-electric grass tent pitch (woodland)

Liked On arrival, the gentleman was so welcoming and friendly and couldn't help us enough. We also had a laugh which was nice. The area was extremely peaceful considering we took 7 children with us. The site itself had a few pitches and ours was secluded and private which allowed the children to run around and just be children. The pitch fitted 2 family tents and we had a lot of space (not like some which is car, tent, car tent etc) the views were lovely and we enjoyed the livestock next to us. there's a toilet and a sink with warm water and also a fresh water supply. It was back to basic which is just what we were looking for and well needed. Thankyou for your hospitality from us all! Amazing! Thankyou, will definitely be back with more of us

What customers say

This site offers spacious, private, and secluded pitches, ideal for families and groups. Reviewers highlighted the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful views, and well-maintained grounds. Facilities like toilets and washing-up areas with warm water were appreciated, alongside the availability of firewood. The owner is consistently praised for being welcoming, friendly, and helpful. While some minor traffic noise was noted, it did not detract significantly from the overall positive experience of a "back to basics" retreat. The proximity to Arbor Low is a notable bonus.

Liked Quiet, spacious, private, woodland! A tiny, joyous retreat in the White Peak

But shhhh don't tell everyone!

Disliked Some minor traffic noise from trucks, but after hours all you can hear is the wind in the trees

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, woodland)

Liked Great pitch. Our dog loved being able to run around without bothering everyone else nearby. Everything you need close by- fresh water, toilets, washing up. You can even buy firewood from the site themselves, comes with some really handy fire starters too. Shame our time was cut short as we arrived late- would absolutely stay again!

Disliked Quite bad signal in some spots. But no fault of the owners- just a remote spot.
