Excellent facilities. Beautiful location clean and well looked after. Great service at the reception would highly reccomend staying here. We stayed for one night to go to download festival and the owners even had a car service to drop us at the event.

Small, pretty, clean site, sufficient basic facilities, friendly welcoming owners.

Occasional, overhead airplane noise, but got used to it: it didn't detract too much from our overall enjoyment.

Lovely peaceful site. Clean toilet block. Good size pitch. We don't fish but enjoyed walking round lakes on a morning. One of the best campsites we've been to. Nothing at all to fault. Can't wait to go back.

Nothing to dislike

Lovely location nice lakes the new owners were very friendly once set up felt very relaxed

Pitch was under trees and in the shade Next time will ask for a sunnier pitch .bit noisy from aeroplanes but got used to them after a while .

Beautiful pitch facing the lake friendly owners made us feel welcome always had time to chat in passing.you can walk into Melbourne but no footpath most of the way it's about a mile and cost us £7 for a taxi back. we will definitely return to this lovely area

Whats not To like

Great place to stay, very welcoming owners.

Nothing to dislike

We have just returned from a four night stay at Springwood Fisheries in a deluxe pod and we loved every minute of it! The pods are so comfortable and equipped with everything you need. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and enjoyed meeting his family and friendly dog Oscar during the course of our stay. The setting is beautiful and my partner fished every day from right outside the pod while I watched and relaxed on the veranda. Such a peaceful place to relax and unwind and lots to do round about if you want to explore further (we were happy to stay put and didn't go far at all!). The site is very well cared for and you can see the hard work put in daily by the owner who makes an effort to speak to everyone but at the same time leaves you to get on with it which was the perfect balance for us. Happy days fishing and relaxing were ended by snuggling up in the pod at night time which we just loved, such a lovely experience and one we will most certainly be repeating again before too long. Thank you for such an enjoyable and much needed break away from it all.

Nothing to dislike, we were very happy campers!

We stayed here Friday night and what a lovely peaceful site it is. The owners where very helpful and made us feel very welcome. The pictures of the site don't really do it any justice it really is beautiful there. We will definitely be goin back and staying for the weekend very soon 😀

Very friendly welcome - so important.
Choice of pitch - also very important.
Large pitches. All MH pitches hard-standing all with hard-standing access road.
Owners around and easy to find, without being intrusive. Always helpful.
Beautiful site. Very well-kept. Really tranquil and picturesque.
No noticeable noise from planes - (others have mentioned.)
Ease of access - no tiny little roads to manoeuvre down to get there.
Easy to find.
Loads to do within a very short distance. Calke Abbey, Kedleston Hall, Staunton Harold Estate and Reservoir, Aviation and F1 museum at Castle Donington.
No cancellation fee. Reasonable rates. No extra charge for electricity.
Very dog-friendly. Able to walk dogs, on leads, on site, which is so useful.
So many sites say they are dog-friendly but turn out to be dogs-just-about-acceptable and not allowed to walk them on site.

Traffic noise from road nearby but soon got used to it. Well compensated for by all the positives.
