  • Small and dog-friendly glampsite in the Peak District National Park
  • Monsal Trail 10 minutes’ drive and Chatsworth House 20 minutes
  • Partly-furnished cabin 10 minutes’ walk from the local pub
If you’re in search of a peaceful Derbyshire spot to lay your head, you’ll certainly find it at Brosterfield Farm, a glamping micro-site 20 minutes’ drive from Chatsworth House in the Peak District National Park. Cows and sheep will be your neighbours, and although it’s part of a caravan site, everything here is very relaxed, and there’s a ban on loud noise and music. Designed for couples (and their dogs) who don’t want the hassle of setting up tents, Paddington’s Cabin is a spacious wooden cabin ‘in the round’, furnished with a sofa, double bed (you’ll need to bring your own linens and towels), bedside tables and patterned rugs to cosy the place up. It's off-grid (without electricity or heating), so it's dimly lit with low rechargeable lights. Facilities including hot showers, loos and washing-up sinks are shared with the caravan park. You can also use the electric-car charging points and recycling corner in the camping field. Barbecues are allowed in firepits hireable on site; there is an additional charge for logs, kindling and firelighters. Stock up on food at Bakewell supermarkets (15 minutes’ drive). If alfresco cooking is not on your holiday agenda, luckily there’s a dog-friendly pub 10 minutes’ walk away in Foolow, a Hope Valley village on the route of several walks and mountain-biking trails across the Peak District.

Paddington’s cabin

Liked Well kept, great central location for Peak District exploration, friendly helpful staff/owners….decent facilities.

Disliked Male toilets were very small and inadequately ventilated…..(after anybody had been for a no2)….could do with a urinal….had to wait several times. WIFI was almost useless.

Paddington’s bell tent

Liked Spotless facilities, bonus that there was a fridge and freezer too, we didn't realise this until we arrived. The washing up area, toilets and showers were well maintained and spacious and nicely concealed, despite being very close to our pitch, which was useful with young children. Aaron was a friendly and helpful warden and we enjoyed the fresh eggs from the hens. There was plenty of space on our pitch and a useful picnic table outside and sofa inside. The pitches were all very spread out so we didn't feel like we were being overlooked and my children could play without disturbing other campers. We loved having the option of a cosy wood burner in our bell tent, though we chose to hire the firepit instead to toast marshmallows, and there was plenty of wood to buy to cover two nights. The site was really organised and felt secure, with keypad entry. We appreciated the location too, being close to places of interest; we visited Eyam and Monsal Trail, Cressbrook Dale and Chee Dale Stepping Stones - all worth a visit, especially for an early sunrise view and walk before it gets busy. There is a discount at the local pub too, which is definitely worth a visit for delicious food!

Disliked Would have been even better if camp beds were provided as well, though we were able to bring our own, so it didn't cause us any problems.

Paddington’s bell tent

Liked Campsite was lovely, in a very remote area with a nice little village pub about a 10 minute walk away. There’s plenty of walks in the nearby area, and also plenty of other villages nearby if you’re happy to travel a little. Campsite was also very clean, and not overpacked meaning kids can play happily in the centre of the field without having to worry about cars/vehicles.

Disliked Only slight downside for us was the bell tent we stayed in. As lovely as it was, the ground sheet didn’t seem to be fully attached to the outside of the tent, and as a result even though it was like almost 30 degrees Celsius outside, it was extremely cold and drafty inside. Could just do with a couple of minor repairs in our opinion.

Paddington’s cabin

Liked Really appreciated everything being already set up after a day of hiking! Really enjoyed our stay, the campsite had thought of almost everything I could think of that I needed and its dog friendly, including a separate area. We would stay again when back in the area, everything went really smoothly and the toilet facilities are good.

Disliked Nothing, I can’t think of a fault, they had everything covered.

Local attractions

If you’re keen to learn a bit about Peak District history, start with the infamous ‘plague village’ of Eyam (five minutes’ drive), where you can see macabre plague-related dioramas in the small museum, have a wander up to Riley’s Graves, marked by seven tombstones protected by dry-stone walls, and take afternoon tea in cute tearooms. At the other end of the wealth spectrum from Eyam, impressive Chatsworth House (20 minutes) is set in Capability Brown-designed parkland and has a fantastic art collection in its opulent galleries and state rooms. (Mostly) medieval Haddon Hall (25 minutes) is another splendid spot for peering into the past; it’s open for tours of its vaulted banqueting hall and formal Elizabethan gardens. When you’d rather explore on foot, the Monsal Trail (10 minutes) offers spectacular views over Monsal Dale and the viaduct at Monsal Head. At Chee Dale (20 minutes), you can follow the River Wye through its limestone gorge, or if you fancy something a bit more hardcore, hire canoes, dinghies and sailboards from Carsington Water Visitor Centre (40 minutes). Happier on dry land? They rent out bikes too, so you can circumnavigate the lake.
