Beltonville Farm

Liked Beautiful location with lovely views.
Close to the Monsal Trail and several good pubs.
Clean and well-maintained toilet and washing facilities.
The café, food and farm shop were all good, with reasonable prices.
Overall, the site has good facilities and is in a great area for exploring.

Disliked Unfortunately, several issues during our stay left us disappointed. Despite the site rules stating quiet hours, no vehicle movement after 9pm, and restrictions on large groups, these rules did not appear to be enforced. There were several large groups on site, people smoking cannabis, frequent vehicle movements late into the evening, and considerable noise.

The biggest issue came on Saturday night when the campsite hosted a 70s/80s disco in the café. While some guests may have enjoyed this, it went on late into the evening and significantly disrupted our sleep before an early start on Sunday morning. We chose this campsite expecting a peaceful environment, so this was particularly frustrating.

We were also disappointed by an interaction with staff in the farm shop. There are signs in the café instructing guests to ask in the shop if they wish to charge their phones. My husband politely did exactly that, explaining that we simply wanted to charge our phones while we ate dinner. The response from a tall woman with short hair was unexpectedly rude and accusatory. During the conversation, an older man approached, stood very close to my husband, and asked if there was a problem in a manner that felt intimidating. Once my husband calmly explained the situation, the man backed off and simply stated that they could not accept liability for the phones before walking away.

It's a shame because the location, facilities and amenities have a lot going for them. However, the lack of enforcement of site rules, the late-night disco, and the poor customer service experience on Saturday left a sour taste in our mouths. As a result, despite the positives, we won't be returning.

Liked Everything is great, the location main hiking routes are just around the corner. Buxton is 12min drive or there is a direct bus too. Food and general facilities are great, you have bar for the evening with some music and entertainment. It’s just perfect!

Disliked Nothing :)

Liked Good location and nice viewd

Disliked Expensive shop. Told we couldn't get dinner on arrival due to a wedding party that evening.
Large parties of adults shouting, singing and playing loud music until 2am.
Put me off going back I'm afraid

From the manager: Hi Mark,

Thanks for your review, although I am sorry to hear that you were not happy with your stay. We do hold events throughout the season, and we make every effort to advertise any changes to opening times that these might effect. There are also a few other pubs / places to get food within around a 10 minute walk which we would have been happy to direct you to as an alternative.

I am sorry to hear that you experienced some disruptions, on the welcome sheet provided to you at check in, there is a phone number provided for you to specifically report any issues on site, which we would then have dealt with at the time. Unfortunately, no such issues were reported at the time.

Thanks again for your views, although I am sorry that they may have been avoidable if mentioned while you were on site.
