What customers say
Cozy, clean pods with fire pit marshmallows. Hosts are friendly, location peaceful with great views. Kids and dogs welcome. Some found child beds small, tap water had an odd taste/smell. Good value, ideal for exploring.

Camping pod
Liked The pod was amazing. The facilities were spotless and the view was amazing, I loved every minute. The hosts were very kind and accommodating, thank you for the marshmallows it was a nice touch and the farm animals following me around was fun too. The weather was brilliant which just added to the joy, it was nice and quiet, just what I needed. I will be definitely be coming again and staying longer next time!

A truly magical stay :-)
Camping pod
Liked So much! A great location and wonderful, welcoming and friendly hosts. My 11-year-old daughter described it as a ‘magical’ place and I’d have to agree. Beautiful views and great for children to get a taste of rural/farm life. Although it’s so quiet you are also close enough to some lovely village pubs (I’d recommend Sunday lunch at The Kelstedge) and towns like Matlock. The pods had everything we needed for our two night stay - the new owners of the site are aware of some improvements that would benefit the pods further but we found ours to be cosy, comfortable and loved the little touches like the marshmallows (all of which were consumed by the fire :-). A fabulous place. Thank you Toni and family - we hope to be back :-)
Disliked Nothing at all to dislike, but, like other reviewers have mentioned, I’d recommend taking some bottled water.
