A aimé : Greeted by friendly staff. Plenty of fire pits available to borrow and reasonable priced logs. Lovely back to basics field which was nice, peaceful and plenty of room. Yes the cockerels will wake you up early but there are worse noises to be woken up by!

A aimé : Such a beautiful farm located I. The edge of the Peak District. I’ve stayed all over the country, and this is by far my favourite. The people who run the campsite were really informative and friendly. There were no fixed pitches so I was able to choose a plot to my liking. There was only 4 or 5 other camps in the field so it felt very empty. The compost toilets were cleaned regularly, a huge bag of wood for £8 and I had some delicious organic beef and lamb grown on the farm and organic eggs in the morning for breakfast. I can’t wait to go back!

N'a pas aimé: Nothing at all.

A aimé : When arrived we were met with the owner who explained everything and we were allowed to choose where we wanted to set up. The toilets were checked daily and were very clean. There's an option to buy wood for the pit fires and also to buy eggs and meat products from the farm. The views were lovely and very peaceful. There's a 10 min walk to a lovely pub who made us feel very welcome.

A aimé : Friendly staff. Not too prescriptive where you park up. This is a wild camping site. Has composting toilets and water stations. Not over developed.

A aimé : The campsite was so lovely, very big so lots of space to pitch up without being too close to another group, and different fields to choose from if you wanted a quieter area. The facilities were good, onside toilets with plenty of toilet roll and sanitizer. The pitches come with a fire pit and benches, firewood and local produce can be purchased from the farm which was noce, and a lovely little local pub which served great food too. The lady running it was so so lovely and helpful, will definitely recommend and be heading back !

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello

I'm very sorry that your expectations weren't met. We are a working farm and try to make it very clear that the camping is 'back to basics' or 'almost wild camping' as increasing numbers of people are describing it. We don't mow the fields specifically for campers; never have and never will. You camp in fields that were hay meadows earlier in the year, we're mown for hay, and then the grass grows slowly until Autumn when the camping seasons ends and animals return to graze on the land.
Like many farms we have chickens and cockerels too, and they do indeed crow from around 4am at this time of year. This doesn't tend to disturb campers as the chickens are a field or 2 away from where people camp, but on a still morning the sound does travel.
I'm also very sorry that the compost loos were not to your liking. Many people love them, but they are a bit like marmite it would seem.

I'll happily refund your booking.

Many thanks,
Emma & Luke

A aimé : I was met by an informative and friendly host who said I could go anywhere but the field with sheep grazing as I was with my dog. I found a peaceful pitch that was quiet, flat enough to sleep well and it was pretty close to wild camping which I is the whole point for me. The price is per person which again was good because it was just me :)

N'a pas aimé: I think the site is perfect as it is but I would have LOVED even a cold shower or even a privacy cubicle with a cold tap.

Réponse du gestionnaire : We're glad you enjoyed your stay Laura. We've been toying with the idea of adding showers. If and when we install them I'll let you know!

Hope to see you again soon
