Ashbourne Woods

Beautiful setting, friendly staff, very clean shower/toilet block. Kettle and fridge/freezer facilities great bonus! 10 minute walk to pub which was also very nice, great food! Would highly recommend and would love to go back.

A great place to stay, good variety of pitches and good for exploring after dark with the kids! A very well kept and interesting site, will return many times hopefully.

Rating wise, marked down for limited facilities which is just fine. Don't expect a lively clubhouse and swimming pool, that's not what this place is about. I'd rate what is there 5 out of 5.

WiFi, quite honestly I couldn't care, so I haven't rated it as I have no idea if they have it

The pitches were great we went Sunday to Tuesday and it was pretty quiet!

Stunning woodland surroundings, great facilities and very clean, staff were wonderful, and we loved the stone fire pit! Incredible experience! Will be visiting again!

My wife wanted an outdoor pool!! (But she loved our stay nonetheless!)

Myself and my partner stayed in a bell tent and our friends had the other which was right next door. We had a gorgeous pitch that felt secluded from the rest of the campsite and all of the facilities were great. The campsite is in lovely surroundings in the woods and is really peaceful with a lovely pub in walking distance. I would definitely recommend it!

It was lovely pitch great very friendly people and brilliant for the dog

Nothing

The basic nature of the camp site

The Gypsy caravans could be spread out a bit more however the proximity is not intrusive.

Very nice , welcoming people, lovely area - so peaceful. Wish we stayed longer!

Clean and spacious campsite, surrounded by woodland, greenery and peace!
You each have your own fire pit and outside area, seating, plus we had a picnic bench too. You are welcome to collect your own wood from around the campsite, or otherwise can purchase it from reception. We had plenty of room inside, electricity, easy access to water, and a lit porch to sit under on wet weather evenings.
Wheelbarrows are provided to transport your belongings from the car park, so have your bedding wrapped up ready for if it's raining.
There is a lovely little pug (Hugo?) walking around. Nice walks and a great 11c pub nearby with a really lovely landlord who'll have a chat with you & make you welcome. We've been to several 'wild' style campsites now, and this one ticks the boxes of getting that 'back to nature' feel, whilst having better facilities than a lot of other sites. E.g. Communal fridge, kettle, lots of drinking water points, clean showers - so it still feels like a holiday rather than hard work.

The porch was quite dirty from the previous guests and needed a good sweep. We'd hoped to take our walking boots off her and keep the inside clean. The roller blind was also broken, which was only a pain at bedtime as the main door is glass to the floor & people can see in! We were looking forward to a birthday pub lunch but were told at reception that the pub stops serving food at 2pm. As we'd arrived at 1.50pm we decided to set up, quickly have beans on toast at the campsite, then went to the pub for a drink. Turns out they would have served us until 3pm. Easy mistake to make, I'm just mentioning it for future stayers as we were disappointed. It's a fabulous menu, which we didn't get to try as we'd bought BBQ food for that evening which would've gone to waste. It was generally a lovely stay, but having purchased it as a birthday treat to spoil someone.. I don't feel it quite hit the mark! There was also a barrier upon entry which we weren't given the access code to prior to arrival, & had to call someone.

The pitch. It was in the trees as they said it would be. Site was clean. Clean facilities.

Not as private as they make out.
Showers were weak.
My dogs couldn't run freely as there were tent pitches very close to ours. At night we had people walking right through our pitch to get to theirs which caused my dogs to bark.
It was also assumed that we were going to be loud after 10pm. I had my little boy with us so obviously wasn't going to be loud. Got the impression they didn't really like young families. Ended up going home a day early because we felt unwelcome. We drove for 4 hours to come here just ended up being a waste of time and money.
