Gostou The campsite was very peaceful even being near the children’s park. Can get straight onto The Tissington Trail from the site.

Não gostou Unfortunately the ladies toilet paper bins were always overflowing. And the men’s seemed to have dirty toilet pans.

Gostou The location was great, lovely site set out nicely, with enough space and the children loved the park!

Não gostou The pool was closed on the Sunday but we had not been advised of this, on none of the adverts or information packs were we told that the pool would be closed so it was really disappointing as we had planned to go to the pool on sunday morning. By the time we attended reception on Saturday to book we had missed our chance to go! It was the reason we booked the site for my son's birthday as this had been what he'd asked for.


When we booked we also advised that we would be attending with our two children aged 8 and 5 and yet were given a camping pod which had a broken bunk bed leaving the top bunk unsafe for a child to use!

This left our children having to share a bed which is really not ideal given their age and size difference.

We also could not open one of the doors to the cabin meaning that we were having to squeeze through one half of a French door.

Gostou Ashbourne Heights is well located for exploring the Peak District by car, bike or on foot and offers direct access to the Tissington Trail cycle path into Ashbourne. There are many walking opportunities from the site with Dovedale about a 3 mile walk away. The site is well looked after with onsite swimming pool, children's play area, shop and launderette. The toilet block is clean and well appointed with heating for cooler months. The pitches were very quiet with only 3 units onsite in June.

Não gostou My only complaint will be the temperature of the water in the showers which was just luke warm at best running to cold, then back to luke warm. The temperature was the same in the ladies toilet block and the outdoor washing up area. We did mention it to the receptionist who said she'd mention it to maintenance but the water temperature was the same the following day. Some hangers or hooks around the wash basins would be good too, nowhere to hang your towel or wash kit when shaving.

Gostou The Pods: Decent and well-equipped with a double bed, bunk bed, small heater, charging points, bins, and two foldable chairs.

Facilities: We stayed in a pod with a private, keyed shower and toilet located just behind it. It was clean but very small (a smaller sink would have freed up more space). Note that other pods with indoor plumbing are available.

The Site: Clean and spacious with an on-site shop and a swimming pool (booking required). More solar lighting along the path to the toilets would be a good safety measure, particularly for the pods at the back. Our toilet block was around 3 metres from the pod, and the path could be quite dark at night.

The Area: Beautiful, vast Peak District landscapes. Walking the nearby Tissington Trail is highly recommended and was one of the highlights of our stay.
Staff: Warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout our visit.

Despite a few issues with cleanliness, bed comfort, and the lack of a mini fridge, we loved the area, enjoyed the pool, and appreciated the friendly staff. We'd happily return for the location alone. Tissington Trail gets an A*!

Não gostou However, cleaning needs improvement as there was noticeable dust under the beds and on the ceilings. We even used a portable car hoover and found quite a lot of dust. A mini fridge would also have been a welcome addition. The beds were uncomfortable, although we had been forewarned by previous reviews and brought memory foam toppers, which helped.

Gostou Well maintained campsite and the location of the Bell tents was lovely. The Bell tents themselves were spacious well laid out. The staff were also great.

Não gostou Portaloos - though I understand why
Beds - Really uncomfortable and the reason why it wasn't a10. The metal base was like a tea tray with the mattress not being deep enough to compensate.
