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

Tyckte inte om 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.

Tyckte om 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.

Tyckte inte om 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.

Tyckte om 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*!

Tyckte inte om 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.

Tyckte om 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.

Tyckte inte om 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.

Tyckte om We stayed in a camping Pod which was a great choice due to the rainy weather. Lovely pod and set up, perfect location for the Tissington Trail. Great play area for the kids too

Tyckte inte om En Suite toilet and shower could have been cleaner

Tyckte om Everything, second time staying here. First time in a camping pod second time upgraded to the Glamping. Both are good, if we were without kids I’d probably choose the camping pod, with kids it’s just easier to have that kitchen area in the Glamping. Staff very friendly, very good service. Glamping pod was lovely and spacious. Swimming pool area is nice and clean, if I’m being really picky pool is a little deep for younger children minimum is 1.2m but I was well prepared with all safety measures, floats, armbands, vests etc so all good, we enjoyed the swimming so would go in again. Play park is well maintained, shop is well stocked with essentials. Will book again for sure!
