Blackbrook Lodge Camping and Caravanning

Me gustó: Very nice site, large pitch. Jo was excellent, she could not do enough for you. The main fishing pool was well stocked. Seating all around the pool areas.

No me gustó: Slight steep on the pitches, remember to take blocks etc.

Me gustó: Lovely views good location to visit peak district

No me gustó: Poorly maintained site which resembled a builders yard in parts. Toilets and general facilities a long walk from caravan. Pitches large but poorly maintained and on a big slope. Difficult to level van. Site states no outside noise after 9.30pm but no monitoring of this so very noisy until after midnight every night. Caravans and tents all mixed together and when tents pitched on grass they are very close to next caravan. Strange mix of permanent Caravans with fences and gardens which are obviously never moved.

Del administrador: Thankyou Ann for leaving a review, it would have been nice if you had raised any issues with us but as you havent I will answer your dislikes on here.

1 We explained to yourself and other visitors that we are using the bricks to improve the site and to do this we have had to have things delivered

2 The longest walk to the toilets from any part of our site is 1 1/2 minutes at the most , where your pitch was, you could see the reception and facilities, so a 30 second walk

3 As explained our mower broke, just before the weekend and we had caravans on for two weeks, so this meant long grass, this is now being done

4 Please read about any site before you book as you would have seen we are on a slight slope and we say to bring levellers
5 I do regular walks after 9.30 and the only noise were people talking, no music was heard. Again you could have let us know if there was any issues

6 Caravans and tents mixed together were family groups, not from our siting on the pitches

7 The strange mix, as you put it, are seasonals, who have their caravans here permanently for holiday use

Me gustó: Long hard standing pitches with grass to the side for awning and sitting out.
Staff are lovely and so helpful.
Fire pits on request for a small charge are brought with logs and firelighters to your pitch.
Loads of drinking water taps but need a long hose to fill water tanks.
No where to empty waste tanks so we use a waste Master to collect Greg water as there is a soak away to tip the water.

No me gustó: Nothing to dislike

Me gustó: We loved it here. A nice basic site with a little shop, showers, washing up area. We liked having a tap right by our pitch (all of them had a tap) but this wasn’t a necessity.
There was a nice walk around the fields for our dog and the site was kept safe with a barrier entrance. People who ran the site were lovely too.

Me gustó: Plenty of space on the pitches.
Wasn't too busy considering it was a dry and bright weekend.
Shower and toilet block were nice and modern.
Hot water was very hot!

No me gustó: Shower cubicles were only big enough to shower in. Nowhere private to get changed outside of the cubicle.

Me gustó: Great location
Clean showers and toilets
Fantastic field to walk dogs
Nice little shop on site

No me gustó: No one around on arrival or departure. Challenging when there is a security gate to go through. Telephoned but no answer. Luckily a guest onsite let us in.
Horrible sewerage smell around the site particularly on the first day
Pitches are a decent size but on a slope and very unkept. Grass could do with tidying up/mowing.
Looks like building work is going on as lots of building materials on the site
Wi-Fi nonexistent

Del administrador: Thankyou Bridget for leaving a review, we came in a few minutes after you arrived and saw to your arrival promptly.

As the weather has been so sunny and lovely the brook can have a smell, this only lasts for a short time as we rectify it

Please read your booking, the site does not advertise WIFI over the site as it is only available around the reception area, but 4g and 5g are very good here

Me gustó: Just wanted to say that we enjoyed our week with you. The site is kept immaculate and the toilets are 5 star. And we liked the barrier it made us feel secure when out for the day. hope you got the biscuits we left for thanks in return for borrowing us the lead.

No me gustó: Nothing to dislike

Del administrador: What a great review, hope to see you again soon and thankyou for the biscuits…they were lovely x

Me gustó: Beautiful site with stunning walks. Great facilities and friendly staff.
If you’re into fishing there’s a lovely pond and it only costs £5 to hire a rod for your entire stay.

No me gustó: No complaints regarding the site or staff at all. Only downside was a complaint about children on site having fun, which in all honesty is what you want when you take your children away.
If you’re a couple wanting peace and quiet maybe avoid family sites.
