Winhill View

Positiv Fantastic location with a great view of Bamford edge. Good base to start walks from, just next to Thornhil trail which takes you to Lady Bower. Good facilities which were cleaned daily. Also friendly chicken had lunch with us which was lovely.

Negativ It was not disclosed to us that it was a quiet camp site until we arrived. We are not raucous however chit chat at 10:30 we thought would be acceptable but alas, it was not. We were respectful of this but it would be good to know before hand.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review with regards to the campsite been a quiet campsite that is exactly what we are .tou definitely wasn’t respectful of that and had no considerations for the other campers the neighbours ands the surrounding your group was extremely loud and inconsiderate until after midnight any one coming to stay at our campsite must respect that we are a quiet campsite no music which you also didn’t listen to .your review shows how little consideration you have for others that you thought your behaviour was ok . After the experience with you we have decided next year there will be no groups just couples and solo travellers which is a shame after three years of no problems

Positiv Nice place

Positiv Site owners are very friendly and accomodating. We instantly felt welcomed.
The site was very clean and tidy and there was no noise, apart from the other campers and a few distant cows mooing.
The facilities included a toilet, shower and a sink, with clean water.
We will definitely use this site again.
Thank you very much.

Positiv The campsite is peaceful and simple. The facilities are kept clean and the owners are very friendly. Eggs from their chickens were available to buy at the honesty shop table at the top of their lane. During my stay I accidentally scorched the ground but the owners were very nice about it. Careful about overdoing the camp fire, even if it's elevated!!
The site was in a great position for me to explore local running routes, checking out Mam Tor and Ladybower reservoir.
There is also a lovely little route over Bamford Mill to The Angler's Rest pub. Great if you have a little light left in the day to see the weir and stepping stones in the evening light.
I felt the pitch was great value and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Negativ A portion of the site is ever so slightly sloped but most of it is flat, so if that would be a problem better to arrive sooner than later to secure a suitably flat pitch. If pitching up on the flat area be mindful of others and don't spread out too much (in hindsight I could have been more mindful which became more evident as it got busier towards the weekend).

Positiv Perfect location for hiking or cycling, close to ladybower. Great hosts Debbie was very friendly and ensured all was ok daily as I was a solo traveller. Toilets and shower was cleaned regularly, great facilities. All you need for a peaceful stay!

Positiv Lovely site on a working farm with friendly owners. Small field for campers with single outside toilet (mini shed) , single shower and toilet room. There was also one sink with cold water for washing pots and sourcing water. Fresh eggs are sold on site and the surrounding area is beautiful. The site is maintained well and facilities are cleaned regularly. If you want the countryside this site is worth a visit!.

Negativ Nothing to dislike.

Positiv We loved our stay at Winhill View. The campsite was small and secluded, by a working farm - a chicken helped us set up a tent :) you can get fresh eggs at the farm. The host was very nice and helpful and the campsite is in a beautiful location with a great view. The toilets and shower were cleaned daily and the water was hot - was expecting much worse! The campsite is quiet so you can really relax surrounded by nature.
The town centre is around 10 mins away and you get a lovely walk through the fields and a river with a bridge - the pub close by is a real centre of the community!

Negativ A bit tricky to get to if you don’t have a car - make sure you have the instructions saved before you get there as there is no signal, we struggled a bit to find the campsite.

Positiv 10/10 my absolute most favourite site I've been to.
Quiet, clean, great location!
Loved the woman who must run the camp - friendly and welcoming and shared info about the area.
Great facilities and cleaned often (again by the lovely woman).
Definitely going to return again and many more times now!
Oh, loved the chickens plodding around!

Negativ Absolutely nothing - best site!

Positiv Ideal location. Apart from the owls very quiet site. What I particularly liked was the help from the farmer when my car battery foiled. Very helpful. Showers were warm and clean
