Liked: First time camping, trying out the new tent before taking the kids. We had a great time. Beautiful views, the lady was lovely came and met us in the evening with some fire wood, nothing was too much trouble. Massive field, it will be brilliant for the kids to play on. Toilets clean, close to Bakewell where we went for a drink and some food. Also close to Lathkil Dale which is a lovely walk. Had a great weekend , shame the weather wasn’t great we was looking forward to the sunrise over the stunning views. Will be back and hopefully catch it next time. The night sky is simply stunning here.
Disliked: Although it’s a no music site there was a group pitched up who played loud banging music till gone 4am 😴
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the views as much as we do. You are correct we are a no music campsite. We strive to be family friendly which is why we have a no music policy so as to not wake any children (and why we have a designated car parking area to make the campsite an area children and pets can play without worrying about traffic). I wasn't aware of the loud music being played if I had been then I would have come up and asked them to turn it off, even if that meant in the early hours of the morning. We hope you'll come again.
