What customers say

Ilex Farm: Peaceful Matlock spot. Spacious pitches, great facilities. Friendly owners often noted. Small & quiet, but some found facilities limited in busy times and reported hygiene/staff issues in one review. A car's handy for exploring.

Liked Friendly owners who are very helpful, great feel to the location, horses on site which the kids loved seeing, close to plenty of places to go and visit, great price!

Disliked Not a lot springs to mind, our son tried having a shower which he said was a bit cold but he didn’t read the instructions when using it.

Liked Beautiful campsite. Really well kept and private. Lovely walks from the site, we didn't use our van the whole time we were there. Found two nice pubs within walking distance. Owners were so kind and the facilities are modern and very clean. Thank you, we will return for a second visit :)
