Me gustó Open spaces, brilliant staff and owner.
Great for kids and young families.
Pop up bar and food was an unexpected benefit (only on Friday & Saturday).
Love the ethos of the owner.

No me gustó Insufficient toilets and shower facilities. Water pressure was woeful in the showers.

Me gustó *Honest family review*

We stayed here for 3x nights as a family of 4 (2 kids aged 5 and 7).

Location- We chose due to close proximity to local walks and Matlock, definitely lots of things to do within reasonable driving distance. Loads of space, amazing views and easy to find with what 3 words.

Facilities- We had read before that some people had moaned about the lack of toilets and showers. Yes they are quite limited for the number of people, however we never waited long for anything during what I imagine was a pretty busy weekend in the summer holidays. Sometimes the showers were temperamental, but again no major issues and to be expected when essentially you are in a huge farmers field! Everything was clean and well maintained though and fridge/freezers to store stuff if needed which was handy for our freezer blocks.

The bar was a nice touch, with darts and table tennis inside. Also pizzas and other food served here over the weekend which was nice.

The sandpit and football goal were ideal for us and kept both of ours entertained a lot of the time. There is loads of space here for kids to do stuff and lots of families had brought their own activities with them (cricket, rounders, football etc).

Small shop near the entrance if you were desperate for something.

Staff- Really helpful and pleasant to deal with. We had no issues but I got the impression that if you did they would be more than happy to help.

On speaking to the staff this is not a full time campsite, hence the reasons for not having the facilities of somewhere that was. This is completely reasonable. If they were to make any improvements in the future (hopefully because they are doing well and progressing) then obviously a few more toilets and showers would be helpful and maybe a kids play area/park as these always seem to be a hit with kids (put it near to the bar to draw in the parents!).

Would we return? Yes without a doubt. When we next want to visit the area we will definitely look to re book for a stay here and would recommend it to others.

Del administrador: Hi Mick
Thank you for your review.
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you back soon.

Me gustó There was lots of space to each pitch and the field wasn’t too crowded. It was also good that they had a bar and some food on site and offered free fire pits to use. The facilities were also well cleaned (toilets, showers, washing up station). Staff were really friendly!

No me gustó There were not a lot of showers for the amount of people and most days in the morning the water in the showers was not working - whether that was because too many people had used it or there was an issue I don’t know.

Me gustó LOVED this camp site.
The best faculties I've ever seen. Everything was clean, and kept on top of. Plenty of space to choose and pitch up. We will be returning. On site bar just topped it off nicely.
