Ashbourne Woods

Everything about this site is brilliant. This is our second visit. We stayed on the forest floor pitch . Will definitely be back again. That's for sure. Facilities are brilliant. Clean and tidy. Hot showers. If you haven't been before would highly recommend

Site manager was very helpful. Nice to have a fire pit. Shower and toilet facilities clean and functional. Nice to have a fridge, freezer and sink for dishwashing. There is also a microwave and electric kettle.

Excellent location close to moorland hiking and coastline.

Mattress was lumpy. The worst I can remember experiencing. Duvet was of poor quality its inner cover such low friction that it moved around inside our duvet outer cover. If I stayed again I would bring a thick camping mat or inflatable mattress and my own duvet and lie on top of the mat/provided duvet (to reduce the lumpiness) and under my own duvet.

Heating was provided by a 450 W convection heater. With nightime lows of 4 C this was barely adequate to heat the microlodge.

Site owner was away overseas (in a GMT+8 hrs time zone). She failed to mention this and, bizarrely, provided us only with her mobile phone number, and not that of the on-site manager. This caused confusion and a 40-minute wait on arrival (5:30 pm) before we made contact with the site-manager, who was very helpful. Even after the problem became apparent to her (and after all was well, as it happens) she did not email or text the site-manager's mobile.

Clean facilities, lovely shower, very quiet and peaceful place, perfect walks through the woods for the dogs, we were able to pick our own pitch as it was quiet. Access to a campers fridge and freezer.

Woodland setting, local pub with amazing food. Staff helpful.

Lots of ongoing work on womens toilets and showers which I very much appreciate must be done in low season.
£3.50 per night for the dog seems excessive.

Everything 🚶🏼🚶‍♀️🍺🍺🐕‍🦺🌲🌲🎄🚌👍

Loved going back to basic needs, there doing work to their site but it was clean, well looked after and the chap who booked us in couldn't be more helpful. We arrived late in the beginnings of storm Dennis and he help us with an extenson lead for the electrics and got drenched in the making. Helen (the owner) was accidentally pocket dialled by my husband and she called back within minutes to ensure we were ok. There's washing facilities such as showers and laundry room, kitchen with a fridge and kettle ect. We were surrounded by beautiful tall trees, no noise, good connections to anywhere we wanted to go and best of all peace and quiet! So glad we picked to go here for our first try out in the camper 👍🏼

Absolute quietness of the site , the feeling of being in the heart of nature yet with hot washrooms on hand to keep the experience enjoyable ( February is not a time for “roughing it, “washing in streams and the like). The informality of the site is also refreshing after the serried ranks encountered on other sites in the south west. We were there during Storm Ciara and were relieved to be in a sheltered spot after a wind blasted journey to get there and a rocking van the night before.
