Camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked: An absolutely lovely place to stay at, great if you have dogs as they can run around the grounds without worrying about them getting out. Pods were very cosy and the communal seating area is great for when you have a bigger group. It has lots of places to visit around the area like Alton Towers and national trust sites so it’s great for people of all ages. Would highly recommend these pods!

Liked: Walled garden meant our puppy could safely play. Meeting other families. Pizza oven Fab Honesty shop Well made clean pod.

Disliked: A few essentials not in the pod which was a shame and missed having a nice welcome message and instructions on care of the pod, wifi and use of the facilities.

Camping pod (no pets)

Liked: The whole thing. The room was spacious and comfortable. The walled off garden meant my daughter and her cousins could all run around freely & safely. The BBQ and Pizza making facilities were great which we were able to make full use of. Honestly cant fault a thing, wish we couldve stayed longer, as we all had so much fun. Highly recommend for anyone wishing to spend some quality family time together.

Disliked: The hit and miss weather, but that had nothing to do with you. The Walled Garden was great!

Local attractions

As with most of the area around the Staffordshire–Derbyshire border, it's not far to some splendid rural walking spots. The Churnet Valley Walking Route (five minutes' drive) is a flat path that follows the pretty Caldon Canal; hillier hikes are also to be had, as it's but 20 minutes from your pod to the southern edge of the Peak District National Park. The site is also a convenient base for those heading to Alton Towers (10 minutes), a fably thrilling theme park that needs no introduction. If you really want to push the boat out and indulge the kids, it's also close enough to Gulliver's Kingdom (35 minutes) to tick off both parks during your stay. If rides and slides don't push the right buttons, it's also a doddle to get out for more restful pursuits. For a golfing challenge, try the tricky 18 holes at JCB Golf and Country Club (five minutes); if you're yet to take your first steps in the sport, perhaps Lightwood Golf driving range (25 minutes) will be a better fit. Another genteel past-time is browsing for antiques in nearby Ashbourne (15 minutes), where there are around 10 different shops to rummage through.
