I came here with my mate after an ultramarathon bike ride and we needed a place to stay for the night. The staff are lovely and lenient despite being very busy. The campsite itself had good facilities such as; showers, toilets and wash stations. And I really enjoyed being around the animals. The location is very close to the Peak District and so the views were beautiful. If I cross this campsite again I will definitely stay again.

Lovely site with flat terraces in a grass field. Great countryside views and a joy to see the animals. There were enough toilets and showers for all guests when we were there early October, no waiting. The showers were warm and kept clean.

This is a small campsite set in a beautiful location. The campsite consists of one field with no electric hook up. The owner is very helpful and goes over and above to help and he is very accommodating. They allow fires in the fire pits provided and he will even bring logs to your pitch for a small fee! The toilet and shower block is basic, but overall a lovely little spot to camp for a few nights. Would we return: Yes

Adorable, welcoming, fun and friendly people. Beautiful area. Peaceful. Very kind and welcoming host. We stayed in the Meadow View hut, hot tub and keys prepared on arrival. Pleasantly surprised by the essentials provided (especially coffee), and amenities (shower, washing up, film selection to borrow) all well sign posted. Bonus points for being able to spend time with the friendly and adorable animals in the barn and field. Cute farm shop, everything for s’mores included, and homemade jam. Great prices, particularly for our spontaneous plan!
