The Racecourse Retreat

Positiv Amazing setting, really well maintained, clean toilets, friendly staff.

Negativ Not enough toilets/showers for the size of the site (I did overhear them saying this would be changing in the coming years)

There were a few large groups on site which were noisy (rectified when they were spoken to by site owners)

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Michelle
Thank you for your review.
We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
The dog exercise area is new for this year and it certainly seems to be a hit with out 4 legged visitors.
The walk down to Wirksworth is lovely isn't it, a stones throw from the site and lots of lovely little places to visit when you reach the bottom of the footpath.

Positiv Beautiful site with plenty of space. We were the last to arrive on a fully booked night and still got a lovely spot.
Love that there is a bar and food on selected nights. Super clean facilities and staff were lovely

Negativ They could do with a few more toilets, there was quite a large queue in the morning (but to note, we were there on a fully booked night)

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi thank you for your review.
Were glad you like our little reception area which is a new build for this season.
We are constantly developing our little site so hope to see you again

Positiv There was a bar with a marquee tent to sit in, and they serve food on Friday and Saturday nights. The toilets were lovely and modern and clean in a little wooden shack. Plenty of space, we went when it was fully booked and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. There was a lovely view and it helped we had good weather.

Negativ Wish there was more toilets, there was only 4 cubicles, so in the morning there was a queue.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi thank you for your review of our site.

Having plenty of space is something we have in abundance!
We are sorry you found a que in the mornings, we have 4 cubicles with toilets, 3 showers rooms with toilets and 4 men's urinals in a separate block around the back so hopefully the ques didn't last for long.

Having toilets around the site is certainly something we are hoping to have in the future and we are constantly developing.
Hope to see you back soon so you can see our progress.

Positiv The whole set up, from the moment we arrived booked in by the owners, the bar area , the Caribbean food, local ciders,the toilets and showers all excellent, we will be back .

Negativ None

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi, thank you for your review.

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
The local Derbyshire cider is certainly proving a hit this season!
No problem for the sugar.......sugar is definitely a MUST for a morning brew.

We look forwards to welcoming you back.

Positiv I would like to start by thanking the lovely lady at reception for the warm welcome and clear explanation about the site when we arrived — she was fantastic and made us feel right at home.

The Racecourse Retreat is simply amazing! We had a wonderful break here — the whole site is very clean, tidy, and beautifully maintained. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The toilets and showers were spotless, and the kids absolutely loved the sand play area.

The views here are stunning, especially the sunsets and the moonlight — truly unforgettable. We stayed for 7 nights and every moment was perfect. My children enjoyed it so much they begged me to extend our stay, but unfortunately we couldn’t this time. I’ve promised them that next time we will stay for 2 weeks!

Thank you again to everyone who works so hard to make this place special. We will miss it until we return, and I will happily recommend The Racecourse Retreat to all my friends.

Positiv Location is amazing

Negativ Toilets and showers, there are not enough for the amount of people. We queued a lot. The dirty mop buckets in the showers were a concern.
