From the manager: Hi Michelle
Thank you for your review.
We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
The dog exercise area is new for this year and it certainly seems to be a hit with out 4 legged visitors.
The walk down to Wirksworth is lovely isn't it, a stones throw from the site and lots of lovely little places to visit when you reach the bottom of the footpath.

Liked Lovely setting and great little reception area to get checked in etc. lovely clean site.

Disliked Could do with a couple more toilets and possibly another shower. Water pressure was a bit iffy on the second day.

From the manager: Hi thank you for your review.
Were glad you like our little reception area which is a new build for this season.
We are constantly developing our little site so hope to see you again

Liked There was a bar with a marquee tent to sit in, and they serve food on Friday and Saturday nights. The toilets were lovely and modern and clean in a little wooden shack. Plenty of space, we went when it was fully booked and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. There was a lovely view and it helped we had good weather.

Disliked Wish there was more toilets, there was only 4 cubicles, so in the morning there was a queue.

From the manager: Hi thank you for your review of our site.

Having plenty of space is something we have in abundance!
We are sorry you found a que in the mornings, we have 4 cubicles with toilets, 3 showers rooms with toilets and 4 men's urinals in a separate block around the back so hopefully the ques didn't last for long.

Having toilets around the site is certainly something we are hoping to have in the future and we are constantly developing.
Hope to see you back soon so you can see our progress.

Liked The whole set up, from the moment we arrived booked in by the owners, the bar area , the Caribbean food, local ciders,the toilets and showers all excellent, we will be back .

Disliked None

The local Derbyshire cider is certainly proving a hit this season!
No problem for the sugar.......sugar is definitely a MUST for a morning brew.

We look forwards to welcoming you back.

Liked Everything!!!! Bar and all his staff were friendly and so helpful. Plenty of safe space for kids to play including the huge sandpit i never heard the words "im bored" from my boys. Bar and pop up food stalls were brilliant and reasonable prices. Showers were hot and very clean same goes for the toilets. Views were amazing we will definitely be back!!

Disliked Nothing!!

From the manager: Hi Sam
Thank you for your lovely review.
We love to hear you liked everything.
The sandpit it a great hit with the children (adults have been know to be up to their knees in it which is a great sight!)
The views from the campsite can't be beaten so really pleased you enjoyed these while you were with us.

We hope to see you again soon and hopefully there will be more developments as we are constantly trying to improve (as you know) fingers crossed

Liked Absolutely lovely stunning scenery. Just rolls and rolls of green hills. Massive site for plenty of pitches. Plenty to do in the area. The on site sand pit and bar were a welcomed highlight

Disliked Not a dislike but more to warn that the roads to the site are very narrow.
Although more toilets and showers are probably needed for busier times

We definitely agree about the amazing reviews, nothing better than rolling hills to greet you when you wake up in the morning.

We look forwards to your return next season.
