Liked: We really enjoyed our stay at Blackbrook. It was clean and well looked after. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Lots of space to pitch our tent.

Disliked: Not much to dislike really. Only thing that was disappointing was I managed to drive over our netball we had just bought and burst it.

Liked: Great sized fields for walking the dogs and plenty to do in the surrounding area. Pitch sizes are big so you have lots of space.

From the manager: Thankyou Jack

Liked: Lady on reception was lovely, she was the only one we saw. There was a lovely walk down the side of the site . The pitches were very spacious but on an incline so take your wedges, but not a problem, there are bricks about to help. The toilets were lovely and clean, there is a shop on site too. There's a small lake which was nice. It looks like they are working on doing the site up. All in all a nice little site, quiet and friendly.

Disliked: It would be a good idea to put some dog bins around as there are none. The showers were very small with nowhere to put your clothes without wetting them but lovely and clean so couldn't complain. Only other thing is maybe a post box for fobs as you had to walk back to the office after fobbing out, this held others up behind you. Would be nice if they had a food van come on site, icecream man came so that was a bonus.

From the manager: Thankyou for leaving a great review and reading that you would recommend us.

There are dog poo bins around the lake area, as mainly this is where people walk the dogs, we are added hooks and a bench to address the shower problem.
There is a black letter box next to the key pad to make your departure easier thanks

Liked: Very nice site, large pitch. Jo was excellent, she could not do enough for you. The main fishing pool was well stocked. Seating all around the pool areas.

Disliked: Slight steep on the pitches, remember to take blocks etc.

From the manager: Thankyou Linda, lovely to read your review, hope you return soon

Liked: Lovely views good location to visit peak district

Disliked: Poorly maintained site which resembled a builders yard in parts. Toilets and general facilities a long walk from caravan. Pitches large but poorly maintained and on a big slope. Difficult to level van. Site states no outside noise after 9.30pm but no monitoring of this so very noisy until after midnight every night. Caravans and tents all mixed together and when tents pitched on grass they are very close to next caravan. Strange mix of permanent Caravans with fences and gardens which are obviously never moved.

From the manager: Thankyou Ann for leaving a review, it would have been nice if you had raised any issues with us but as you havent I will answer your dislikes on here.

1 We explained to yourself and other visitors that we are using the bricks to improve the site and to do this we have had to have things delivered

2 The longest walk to the toilets from any part of our site is 1 1/2 minutes at the most , where your pitch was, you could see the reception and facilities, so a 30 second walk

3 As explained our mower broke, just before the weekend and we had caravans on for two weeks, so this meant long grass, this is now being done

4 Please read about any site before you book as you would have seen we are on a slight slope and we say to bring levellers
5 I do regular walks after 9.30 and the only noise were people talking, no music was heard. Again you could have let us know if there was any issues

6 Caravans and tents mixed together were family groups, not from our siting on the pitches

7 The strange mix, as you put it, are seasonals, who have their caravans here permanently for holiday use

Liked: Long hard standing pitches with grass to the side for awning and sitting out.
Staff are lovely and so helpful.
Fire pits on request for a small charge are brought with logs and firelighters to your pitch.
Loads of drinking water taps but need a long hose to fill water tanks.
No where to empty waste tanks so we use a waste Master to collect Greg water as there is a soak away to tip the water.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike
