Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

Syntes om Ashbourne Heights is well located for exploring the Peak District by car, bike or on foot and offers direct access to the Tissington Trail cycle path into Ashbourne. There are many walking opportunities from the site with Dovedale about a 3 mile walk away. The site is well looked after with onsite swimming pool, children's play area, shop and launderette. The toilet block is clean and well appointed with heating for cooler months. The pitches were very quiet with only 3 units onsite in June.

Syntes ikke om My only complaint will be the temperature of the water in the showers which was just luke warm at best running to cold, then back to luke warm. The temperature was the same in the ladies toilet block and the outdoor washing up area. We did mention it to the receptionist who said she'd mention it to maintenance but the water temperature was the same the following day. Some hangers or hooks around the wash basins would be good too, nowhere to hang your towel or wash kit when shaving.

Syntes om The Pods: Decent and well-equipped with a double bed, bunk bed, small heater, charging points, bins, and two foldable chairs.

Facilities: We stayed in a pod with a private, keyed shower and toilet located just behind it. It was clean but very small (a smaller sink would have freed up more space). Note that other pods with indoor plumbing are available.

The Site: Clean and spacious with an on-site shop and a swimming pool (booking required). More solar lighting along the path to the toilets would be a good safety measure, particularly for the pods at the back. Our toilet block was around 3 metres from the pod, and the path could be quite dark at night.

The Area: Beautiful, vast Peak District landscapes. Walking the nearby Tissington Trail is highly recommended and was one of the highlights of our stay.
Staff: Warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout our visit.

Despite a few issues with cleanliness, bed comfort, and the lack of a mini fridge, we loved the area, enjoyed the pool, and appreciated the friendly staff. We'd happily return for the location alone. Tissington Trail gets an A*!

Syntes ikke om However, cleaning needs improvement as there was noticeable dust under the beds and on the ceilings. We even used a portable car hoover and found quite a lot of dust. A mini fridge would also have been a welcome addition. The beds were uncomfortable, although we had been forewarned by previous reviews and brought memory foam toppers, which helped.

Syntes om Well maintained campsite and the location of the Bell tents was lovely. The Bell tents themselves were spacious well laid out. The staff were also great.

Syntes ikke om Portaloos - though I understand why
Beds - Really uncomfortable and the reason why it wasn't a10. The metal base was like a tea tray with the mattress not being deep enough to compensate.

Syntes om We stayed in a camping Pod which was a great choice due to the rainy weather. Lovely pod and set up, perfect location for the Tissington Trail. Great play area for the kids too

Syntes ikke om En Suite toilet and shower could have been cleaner

Syntes om Everything, second time staying here. First time in a camping pod second time upgraded to the Glamping. Both are good, if we were without kids I’d probably choose the camping pod, with kids it’s just easier to have that kitchen area in the Glamping. Staff very friendly, very good service. Glamping pod was lovely and spacious. Swimming pool area is nice and clean, if I’m being really picky pool is a little deep for younger children minimum is 1.2m but I was well prepared with all safety measures, floats, armbands, vests etc so all good, we enjoyed the swimming so would go in again. Play park is well maintained, shop is well stocked with essentials. Will book again for sure!

Syntes om Lovely energy to the park, playground in the centre of the pitch up was great to let thr kids be free.
Swimming pool was a great addition.
The butty van had tasty food. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
All in all lovely site.

Syntes ikke om The showers were cold, button press showers always a little let down. I undertand why but when paying extra for a campsite expect little hotter showers.
Shop needed more items in, handy for milk in the morning tho must admit.
Family shower and space would be a great addition. As my 1 year old did not take to the cold shower in the gents facilities.
No baby changing was avaliable on site which could of helped.

Syntes om Nice pitch and beautifully well kept site.
Useful shop and other facilities on site too. Didn’t use the pool, but a great asset.
Great access to the Tissington Trail 😁

Syntes ikke om This would have been a 9* review, but …
The toilet blocks had clearly not been cleaned for several days. The gents had an overwhelming smell of urine, caused by a leak from the urinals running across the floor to the shower units. The urinals and showers were unusable unless you fancied puddling in wee - hmmm, no thanks you.
