Beltonville Farm

Tyckte om It's abeautiful location, with stunning views! the staff is friendly and helpfull. Also having access to shop and food came in handy.

Tyckte inte om It would've been nice to have some trees here and there to provide shadow and help breaking the wind.

Tyckte om Overall site experience- live band on, good drinks choices, dog friendly everywhere, helpful and friendly staff went above and beyond to make my experience excellent. The facilities and comfort of the hut were phenomenal.

Tyckte inte om Showers are limited (4 available and were very busy) and paid for (£1 for 4 minutes) but this turned out to be good in a way as it helped limit how long people spent in them.

Tyckte om The view

Tyckte inte om The toilets weren’t well kept, blocked and no toilet roll also incredibly unhygienic.
This was reported to check in and nothing was done 3 hours later when I went back.
Although we booked in advance it was absolutely heaving and they kept letting people in. Families were doing laps and laps around the campsite trying to find anywhere to squeeze in. It was that full that it was tent to tent, bumper to bumper. It was quite obvious the campsite owners were only conscious of money and not safety. Had there been a fire (which fire pits can be rented) it would’ve been disastrous.
This point can’t exactly be helped but the roads around the campsite were very dusty and covered absolutely everything in dust. Just something to be conscious of. Additionally I’d say 70% of the site is on a slope. Showers also cost £1 for 4 minutes.

Från föreståndaren: Hi Anonymous,

Thanks for sharing your views. On the facilities, please let me say that this photo is an extreme and not reflective of our facilities as a whole. The toilet paper on the floor was placed by other campers to mop up a leaking water pipe to the sink taps, which was reported to us at check in and fixed shortly after.

I personally cleaned and restocked all facilities as soon as any shortages were reported to me. If they had run out of supplies again by the end of the afternoon, we would have happily returned to restock again as we understand our facilities get a lot of use over the bank holiday. The toilet blockage was caused by someone snapping the flush handle - this was also replaced.

All bookings over the bank holiday weekend were pre-booked, we didn't let people in on a whim. However, our site is a lot busier at these times, as is the rest of the Peak District on a sunny bank holiday. We are very conscious of fire safety and make regular patrols of the site to ensure safe use of firepits and barbecues throughout the day and night.

As you kindly mentioned, we cannot be held responsible for dust on rural roads during dry weather.

On the gradient - some parts of our site are on a slight rise, which we make an effort to make people aware of. We are located in the Peak district.

The cost of our showers is advertised in two different locations on our Pitchup listing, and as described on your check in sheet this is due to past misuse. I apologise if this came as a shock.

Overall, I am sorry that you didn't get the most out of your stay with us, but in future I would suggest avoiding bank holidays in tourist based areas to avoid further disappointment.

Thanks
The Team @ Beltonville

Tyckte om Location
Farm shop

Tyckte inte om Shop and booking in to camp all at the same desk.
I wanted to buy food a the queuing was crazy due to everyone booking in for camping. So I gave up an left

Tyckte om Everything as normal 😊
Been here a few times now and have never been disappointed.
All the staff are welcoming and friendly, even over a very busy bank holiday weekend.
As it was a beer festival they had music on in the Cow Shed from 3pm until closing. This was at a small extra cost but definitely worth it as the bands were great.

Tyckte om Location was beautiful. Atmosphere was great. They had a beer festival on at the time so music etc. Toilets good. Farm shop was stocked with all the things we'd forgotten. Breakfast looked delicious. Good coffee and cakes. Loved they did 2 gluten AND dairy free different cake options. Flapjack was divine. Had a lovely time. All staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough to help you.

Tyckte inte om Wish we'd realised about the £1 coin showers.

Tyckte om Friendly staff. Great cafe with delicious breakfast

Tyckte inte om Not enough toilets or showers for the site size. Free pitching meant that although we paid for an XL pitch, we had to squeeze onto a small pitch.

Från föreståndaren: Hi there,

Thanks for your review and kind words about our cafe and staff. On the facilities, we are currently working on a new toilet and shower area pending planning progression. Apologies on any confusion regarding pitches, we charge per unit based on ground coverage rather than per pitch as we are a free pitching site, so an XL pitch is based on the physical size of the tent. We do receive many more bookings than usual over bank holidays, especially with good weather, but away from these times our site is much more peaceful.

Many thanks,
The Team @ Beltonville

Tyckte om The location was great and some nice views around which was great. Lots of trails nearby. The cafe was great to have there if you don't fancy cooking breakfast or lunch. Staff was lovely.
The cafe had a few good vegetarian options so that was great.
Access to drinking water.
Could park by our tent.
Good check in and out times.

Tyckte inte om Facilities were not the best. Only 4 female toilets and most of the time either one out of order or they were all in really bad condition. Showers weren't great either and extra paid. Extremely busy the weekend we went. We came just after 1pm and if we came any later we would struggle to find good-ish spot even for our little tent.

It seems to be more of a party campsite. Some loud groups around play music and being loud late in the evening. If we came with friends we might have had better experience but for us as a couple who wanted to chill after day of hiking it was a bit too loud.

Tyckte om The countryside

Tyckte inte om Toilets & showers. 200 tents booked on this bank holiday, 5 ladies toilets & 4 showers to cater for all! Absolutely ridiculous! Will not be returning!

Från föreståndaren: Hi,

Thanks for your review. A new toilet and shower block is currently underway, the only restriction being planning requirements from the local council. Aside from the issues with facilities, I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your stay.

Many thanks,
The Team @ Beltonville
