Family Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Simple campsite managed excellently.
Warmly welcomed by Katie and Alistair and checked in later to see if everything was ok.
We pitched in the family field with small children’s play area which appeared to be loved by 4 all the way to 14yr olds and the field had shaded areas which was a relief this time of year.
Unfortunately we had noisy (presumably drunken)neighbours well into the morning hours which was a shame but not on the owners.
Offered fire pit and starter logs (which we purchased). Pizzas from onsite van (which we purchased)- they let us use our own cheese and toppings as we are awkward allergics (see photo).
Really nice woodland walks nearby. We had a great stay.
Disliked Inconsiderate campers. Maybe a curfew warning would be appropriate- especially in the family field.

Family Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Beautiful little piece of the Peak District 😍 came with my daughters for a night, last minute! Kids absolutely loved being able to walk through the river, and couldn’t get them off the play equipment! The hosts were so friendly and helpful, and do some really really nice food!! I felt it was safe enough for my kids to go n get ice creams n drinks from the food van on their own. When you get there you can literally drive round n see where you want to park up which is just brilliant. Thank you so much we will be back xx
