What customers say
A top, friendly spot with spotless facilities, big pitches & great country views. The pub's a winner for food & vibes. Staff are super helpful. Great for families with animals & a play area. A few mention busy loos & pub noise, but it's mostly brilliant – people want to come back!
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Excellent, clean and welcoming.
Powered gravel caravan site
Liked All staff are second to none! Helpful, pleasant and accommodating. We had multiple issues as it was our first ever caravan trip. All resolved by help and advice from the staff. The site was exceptionally clean, tidy and beautifully maintained. We only live in leek so not a million miles away, but even so, we felt like we were ‘away’ .
Shower block and toilets were spotless and always available to be used. Well organised and signposted well onsite. We will definitely be back. We had plot 13 which meant our children has room to play aswell as visit the onsite play area and see the goats. Thank you everyone!
Disliked No food on a Monday at the pub. I understand it must be a quiet evening for food. I never checked before we traveled so it came as a surprise to us. But again I appreciate staff need a night off. WiFi was unavailable at the bottom of the site but again understandable as we were right at the bottom. No negatives for us.

From the manager: Hi ,
I have read your review and it mystifies me why you have given us a rating of 6 ?
I can only presume this was a mistake as you have given us a Good review!!
I can only think you may have missed our additional Shower Toilet Block + New Disabled shower Block.
We have not had a rating of 6 for ages ??
Best regards Charlies campsite
