Liked: You can choose your pitch, very basic but clean toilets/shower block, and fast running drinking water in convenient position. Really friendly Farmer/family, felt really welcomed there. Really relaxed but also quick to react to noisy campers so you're more or less guaranteed a peaceful stay. Good sunny field. Quiet pitch just light hum of the nearby A6. Lovely cafe on the bottom of the hill, and start of Cromford canal walks in writhe direction to nearby villages.
Disliked: Not much to dislike - grass was quite long so ground sheet was bumpy and most areas on a slope so its good if you have ramps for a van or open early to pick the more level areas of the field.

Liked: Very, nearly wild, peaceful field. Beautiful views. Tiny stream behind. You can hear it at night. Toilet and shower block and washing potts area with big sink. Just Essentials.... but if you don't look for luxury holidays this is it. Just what you need to survive. But I love it and my kids too. Just you and nature. Already been here twice. And I will recommended.
Disliked: Nothing really.

Liked: We stayed here to meet up with family who had already booked. We were greeted by one of the owners who was very friendly. Later in the afternoon, someone else came around to check that everything was okay. This was a last minute booking, there was plenty of space available even though it was a bank holiday weekend. It is an ideal location for a family with children who want an area for them to be able to play in safety. The washing up area was clean and I liked the fact that sponges and washing up liquid were provided. The wash area/toilet block was basic but adequate and thoroughly cleaned.
Disliked: Unoccupied caravans were stored at the top of the field which appeared to be the flattest area. Also disliked the two couples who were inconsiderately noisy late at night, because they were drinking and had no awareness of how loudly they were talking or how late into the night it was. (not the owners responsibility though).
