  • Peaceful adults-only farm stays in the Derbyshire Dales
  • A 10-minute drive to Ashbourne, Carsington Water and the Peak District
  • Family-run site with direct access to a public footpath
Point your compass towards the Derbyshire Dales and scoop up an adults-only stay at Offcote Grange, a well-kept family farm a couple of miles outside of the market town of Ashbourne. Tempted by the prospect of sleeping in the grounds of a 17th-century farmhouse? For those looking for grownup holidays, there's the added bonus that there'll be no noisy kids scurrying around site. Mild mischief is laid on (quietly and at a safe distance) by Offcote Grange's cheeky donkeys, who cavort through neighbouring paddocks as the farm's herd of cattle looks on. (Please note that the site is unable to accept dogs because of the livestock on site.) These lush green Derbyshire fields and ancient trees are kept in admirably good nick. While animals graze gracefully in their field, owners Pat and Chris tend to the lawns and large gardens. This tourer-friendly spot has a gated hard driveway for easy arrivals and departures, with facilities housed in a purpose-built block that has three sinks, toilets (including a cubicle with a higher seat, hand rails and an alarm) and a shower. Several water taps and a waste disposal point are also on hand, and if you need to dispose of waste, ask the owners. Stepping out to tour the surrounding Henmoor Valley could hardly be simpler, as there's a well-trodden footpath that passes right by the front of the farm. It's possible to traipse through the fields down to Ashbourne, but if you're planning on loading up on treats at the deli and other specialist food shops, you might want to clear the car boot and drive the 10 minutes into town instead.

What customers say

This small, peaceful campsite boasts immaculate facilities, beautiful gardens, and stunning views, with guests praising the friendly hosts. Ashbourne is a pleasant walk away. Some noted the need for levelers due to pitch slopes and a lack of hot water at the washing-up sink. Access advice is available.

Liked Lovely site, grounds and facilities. Owners were very nice, helpful and welcoming. The lake and gardens are so well kept. The facilities clean and modern. Site was so nice in the sunshine and a lovely walk into Ashbourne. The night time was so quiet for a good night's sleep. Would definitely stay again.

Liked Stunning location, set in beautiful grounds. Large grass pitches. Pat & Chris are very friendly and welcoming owners. The toilet block was immaculate, and one of the nicest we’ve used! Footpaths on the doorstep, and one directly to Ashbourne. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked The site is very peaceful and spotlessly clean. The toilet/shower block is really nice quality. The site is very small and friendly (about 5 places in the grounds of a house). You can walk into Ashbourne in about 40 minutes which is a nice town with a good range of cafes and shops.

Disliked There isn't a washing up point (just a sink with cold water). There was no Wifi (this didn't bother me but most sites have this now).

Recommend to friends Visit again

Enjoyable stay in peaceful scenic location.

Route directions

There are three access roads to the site, but two of them are single-track roads and are not suitable for large vehicles. Therefore, the site recommends you always set your Satnav and other devices for Ashbourne first, and then reset the location to Offcote Grange (DE6 1JQ) to use the best road. At the top of a hill, there is a sign for Offcote Grange and Billy's Bothy on your right. Drive straight past this sign. At the end of the hedgerow, there is a gate on the right. There are two large signs pointing you down the drive.

Local attractions

Keeping things local? It's a doddle to get from this well-located site to loads of nearby locales of note, whether you're keen to potter around Ashbourne's antiques shops, stride through the Derbyshire Dales or go boating on nearby Carsington Water (all 10 minutes' drive). Holidaymakers of an outdoorsy disposition are also a 10-minute drive from the edge of the Peak District National Park, a playground for walkers, pedallers and horsey folk. If you have a soft spot for stately homes, the surrounding Derbyshire countryside is also where to find cool country piles like Norbury Hall (20 minutes), Kedleston Hall (30 minutes) and Chatsworth House (45 minutes). Just because there are no kids about to egg you on, it doesn't mean you can't take advantage of this spot's proximity to Alton Towers (25 minutes) to zoom around on coasters of an afternoon. Go Ape Buxton (30 minutes) is also within reach if you have a head for heights but don't fancy queuing up to get your adrenaline fix.
