Beaver Hall Equestrian Centre

Scenery

–

Lovely little site, we really enjoyed our overnight stay. Owners and staff were warm and welcoming.

–

Quiet site, lovely views, animals on site, petting animals available on selected days and times.

Bit of a walk to the toilets, if the weather is bad it's quite a boggy walk.

Pitches are on an incline, without a motor mover some campers may find it quite difficult to reverse and get the angle right.

There appears to be some sort of sewer pit in the ground next to pitch one. We were on pitch two, and could smell it quite strong at times, which was off putting. The lid was held down by a few stones, and the lid wasn't fully closed because someone had left a hosepipe hanging into it.

Children need to be supervised near the electric fence. It is "double fenced" but only by means of a rope ties onto stakes in the ground. One of the other campers had allowed their children to pull some of the stakes out, leaving the bare electric fence.

Beautiful scenery

really nice quiet camp site we where the only campers for the first night loads of safe space for the kids to run/bike around

Animals. Breakfast. Privacy. Walks.

1 shower.
No signs for electric fence opposite where we were staying.

Friendly small site.

The field opposite our pitch, which we enjoyed going in.

Can it really be pitched as a camp site? I'd say no. And for the fairly dire condition the pitching area is in, was extremely expensive at £25 or so per night. All energies at Beaver Hall, as the picture suggests, goes into the equestrian centre and the pitch up area is an add on should one be desperate to have to stay over.. The man in charge's mannerisms and communication was also not pleasing, coming across as unpleasant from the outset.

As a family we do like a horse trek now and then and hoped this would be available.

Nothing for children aged 7+ to do except play with a plank of wood and dangerous nails sticking out of a piece of wood! Although I will give credit to imagination that was birthed - my 9 yr old son seems to be able to create anything out of what he has to work with! (Or in this case, play with!)

The site was basic but this is what we wanted. The site isn't far from Alton Towers. Great place to set up camp. Quiet 5 pitch site. Facilities cleaned frequently. We loved the horses, lots of competitions going on. The cafe is lovely. The homemade cakes and food is stunning. I have definitely put on a good few lbs. If you like animals especially horses this is the place to stay.

The pitches would be better if level. The site is very open so windy. The views are worth the wind.

Very relaxing
