Liked: The pitches are big and spacious. The ladies toilet and shower block are new and were kept clean at all times. I loved the shower as it was very private and the water was always hot. My husband said that in the men block, the water wasn't hot enough once. The campsite is very clean and well maintained and not too big. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There is a pub on site, we didn't eat there, as we had a bbq and other things, but my son had chips and he said they were good. The site also has a lovely play area, for you ger children. The location was good, as it's close to Alton towers, Peak District, Monkey forest and lots more.
Disliked: No toilet brush in the ladies toilets. A small bin would be useful next to the sinks too.

Liked: Having just stayed here in our caravan for the bank holiday weekend for the first time it won't be the last, little gem of a place, toilets & showers are spotless & the pub is a bonus, friendly bar staff but you need to book a table to eat as it gets very busy especially at weekend, we had the 3 meat sunday lunch & it was lovely ( credit to the cook ) . We will certainly be going back , see you soon 😊
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Very nice pitch - lots of space, good mixture of shade and sun, plenty of grass around the hardstanding, little picnic benches between the pitches. Great views and a footpath through the big nextdoor field to walk in. The kids liked seeing the cows.
All the facilities were excellent, clean and in good repair.
The beer garden was perfect for a family on a summer evening - it has a nice little playground for the kids, an outdoor bar, a BBQ for burgers and pizza including a children's menu, and lots of outdoor picnic tables with shade.
The pub has cask ale inside (which is great to have on a campsite) - they had three pumps but only one was on.
Disliked: Some very minor quibbles:
Bring cash if you want to eat and drink - the outdoor BBQ was cash only, the pub did cashback but ran out of cash, and the card reader at the outdoor bar kept losing signal. It all worked out in the end but it would have been a lot faster with cash.
They had Hobgoblin Gold, which is a great ale for a sunny evening, but they didn't have any casks outside so we had to go all the way round to the front of the pub to get it.
WiFi and mobile phone signal were spotty - the WiFi was good in the beer garden but our pitch was too far from the router to pick it up.
