Irondale Touring Caravans and Campsite

This our 3rd visit to Ironside, Sue always has a very warm welcome, and makes sure your settled into the site happily.
Everything about this site is positive, its well located, its well laid out, its clean and well looked after. The village has 2 really nice pubs, one of which your in the grounds of.
The food served by Sue, has to be prebooked so i freshly cooked to order and is superb. Our group of 6 all had really well cooked and tasty home cooked meals 10/10
Our party had 4 dogs with us, which were all welcomed and accommodated where we eat.
There are dogs walks which are very easily accessible from the site, which connects to a lovely country walk which leads to Dale Abbey around 2 miles across country.
in summary, this is a site which we will be visiting many times again in the future.

Lovely peaceful, flat clean site. Toilets available 24/7.
The food at the pub is amazing! Try the steak pie!

Would have liked shower and pot wash facilities but it didn’t take away from our enjoyment of the site. Would definitely recommend.

First time to site after a recommendation and we loved it. Our host, Sue was very customer focused and tentative to our enquiries. Site is small but very clean and tidy

None

Everything, lovely pitch and so clean, Sue and her staff could not have been more helpful and loved the pub being dog friendly, the fish and chips were spectacular, thank you for a lovely stay, will definitely stay again

Nothing

Everything from the welcome from Sue to the pitch. Walks and pub will definitely return. The whole place was neat and tidy locals all friendly well done.

Would have liked a site shower and laundry room but it didn't spoil our stay and it was clear when we booked these were not available

Good size pitches
Good location

Good location between Nottingham and Derby. Clean site, quiet. A little tight on entrance by easily achievable with care. Friendly landlady.
Will return.

If you require a good phone signal not for voxi or o2. It does say on their site information. Not a problem for us. WiFi is in the pub🤣

The site is a small adults only site with 5 level hard standing pitches and an additional grass pitch for a tent.
On arrival we were met by Ben the owners son who showed us to our pitch and pointed out the location of the elson and fresh water filling point.
The toilets are located within the pub and are open 24hrs and we found them to be very clean and tidy.
The pub has WIFI but we didn't use it during our stay as we have our own
And the TV reception worked fine.
Sue the owner came and introduced herself later the 1st day and both Sue and Ben were onsite for a chat throughout our stay.
The site has a resident Harris hawk called Ken and it was great to watch him on his outdoor perch whilst sitting by our motorhome.
The site is located at the rear of the Chequers Inn we booked a meal prior to our stay which was freshly prepared and was reasonably priced with good sized portions.
The site has footpaths direct from the site and has some lovely walks across open farm land for stretching your legs or walking your 4 legged friend.
We walked to the Hermit Cave at Dale Abbey which included some walking on a quite country road and was a 5 miles round trip but worth the effort
(Thanks to Ben for the directions)
All in all we had a lovely quiet stay and would definitely return and hopefully watch Ken fly over the adjecent field

Nothing to dislike

Absolute Gem

Thank you to Sue and Ian for welcoming us to your caravan site. The site is spotless, well kept and best of all, securely set behind the pub. The hospitality extended to the pub where we felt at home. We also recommend reserving a table for food... wow! Stunning! All cooked fresh and to perfection.

We will be back
