Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2023 Good facilities. Loved the setting including peacocks, rabbits and llamas!
Excellent family site
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2023 Excellent family site with lots of facilities. Male showers and toilets were smelly, likely a drain issue. However, we would certainly return again.
Rural location with good walks, 2 local pubs with good food (booking required), close to Bakewell. Suits those looking for peace and quiet. Small shop and a play area for kids.
Great campsite!
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2023 Really nice place, close to everything needed with great walks and pubs walkable from the campsite.
Amazing place!
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2023 Amazing place, everything you need on site. Shop with very good pricing, very clean toilets and showers, games room for the kids and a laundry room. They also had a breakfast van and a pizza van at weekends, all good prices.
It was lovely to see the peacocks roaming around. 2 lovely pubs within walking distance, lovely staff and very friendly. Would definitely stay there again, the kids loved it.
Lovely weekend
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Aug 2023 Lovely location. Had a great time. Children loved it. We will be booking again.
Lovely stay, full recommend
Backpacker Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2023 Stayed for a single night for some walking. Very accommodating and great services. Lovely stay and fully recommend.
Lovely family friendly camp
Small Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2023 Easy going, welcoming staff. Clear verbal & written instructions on arrival.
Toilet & shower facilities clean & water nice n hot. On-site shop, launderette & games room. We enjoyed the benefit of a visiting wood fired pizza trader. Breakfast van on Saturday & Sunday morning with an ice cream van doing rounds of the fields early evening.
It was my granddaughter's 1st camping experience and she absolutely loved it, especially the on-site play area sited on the family camping field.
Only thing was the outside ping pong table could do with replacing as is exposed to the elements.
Great stay in magnificent surroundings
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 We had a great stay at Barn Farm. The surrounding countryside and choice of walks directly from the site are fantastic, as are all the staff. Well done!
A little gem!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2023 Fantastic campsite and wonderful facilities - would 100% recommend.
Fantastic site
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2023 As always, an amazing site, clean, well maintained and even on a busy August weekend, not overbooked.
The toilets, showers and washing facilities are kept clean and tidy.
The staff are great, very helpful and polite.
Wonderful walks just across the road, and a great pub within easy walking distance.
We will 100% visit again next year, and do recommend to our friends and family!
Lovely site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Lovely site, easy and good value for money. Bus route. Would have stayed longer, but was fully booked.
Perfect
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Lovely, clean and quiet campsite.
Plenty of room for pitching and loads of space on campsite. Lots of clean showers and toilets. Shop and washing machine a bonus.
Good walks from campsite and pubs that serve food within walking distance.
Beautiful countryside and the sun came out for us. Perfect.
Good for camping VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 The site is in a good location for walks from site and has all you need.
Pubs down the road but limited menu on offer. Not a lot of space from caravans and campervans to tents and tents are not quiet, lots of children running around but our fault not theirs.
If you like lots going on and peacocks waking you up at 5.30 go for it, but not for us, sorry.
Brilliant campsite!
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Aug 2023 Excellent campsite with superb facilities which were really clean.
Everyone was helpful and friendly, the kids had a wonderful time running wild and making lots of friends, and the location was beautiful.
Highly recommended!
A wonderful farm type setting, lots of facilities
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Peacocks roaming free- mostly sticking to the farm buildings. Really friendly place. Make sure you arrive by the recommended route as the other local roads are really narrow and twisty. Looked good for camping but most fields had a slope.
2nd visit and we would stay again!
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 We have stayed before and loved it so much that we stayed again for longer. We use the caravan area with our young family. Site is clean, well looked after and the kids love it. It's also in an excellent position for visiting Bakewell, Buxton and Chatsworth.
Our stay in August
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Aug 2023 Brilliant site perfectly located for exploring Derbyshire Dales.
Very clean facilities and wonderful hot showers (benchmark for a decent site). Discrete site cleaning and grounds maintenance, friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Brilliant site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2023 Brilliant site! Can't recommend it enough. Storm ☔️ & rain the whole time & loved every minute.
Well looked after, hot showers, immaculate toilets, lots of pubs close by within driving distance which serve food. Can't wait to visit again.
Lovely campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2023 Brilliant stay, cater for everyone, very clean. The pizza evenings are great and recommend you try them out.
Just be aware that unfortunately, there are not many flat pitches, but if you are at the top of field, the views are amazing. Will definitely be going back.
Thank you.
Overall, a good campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Aug 2023 Our stay at Barn Farm Campsite was nice.
Good footpaths from the campsite which we enjoyed being dog owners and having children with lots of energy. Play park was good and some games on the front of the campsite (nearer to reception) a bit dated but still ok to play on. Peacocks wandering around campsite, which was nice to see. We found toilets, shower, washing up areas clean and tidy. Showers were always nice and hot! A little shop onsite, which is handy.
Ok so a couple of points from us. Lady in reception was not particularly friendly or helpful, which is a shame. The field we were on was field 2, which we didn't realise, as we thought we were on field 1, but there was no clear signage nor was it made clear in reception. We weren't asked to move. Also, it was on a hill, so camping space was limited as naturally want to try be on flatter ground.
Our stay Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2023 Poor arrival system, nonchalant, unhelpful staff. The only toilet block needs updating and was a long walk from our pitch.
Certain member of staff thought it was okay to drive their utility vehicle, around the site, recklessly fast and drift it around corners. My complaint to reception was met with the nonchalant reply, "yeah ok".
Wouldn't recommend and won't return.
Excellent
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2023 Brilliant location, excellent price, facilities kept very clean. The only slight downer was the condition of the games room and our side toys. People need to respect the items more, a lot were broken or didn't work but I suspect this is more to misuse.
Staff were helpful and always busy doing something. Touring bar and food were also brilliant at the weekend.
Very nice
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 Lots of fun for the kids with outdoor games and peacocks roaming around.
Excellent and well equipped campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 We have just got home from a fantastic few days at Barn Farm. The facilities were clean and hot water plentiful. The open fronted barn was a really handy place to eat in when it was raining! We would definitely recommend this site.
Excellent campsite, great location
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 The campsite was brilliant. We loved it and had a thoroughly fab time.
We were fine without a hook up and had a hassle-free and very pleasant stay. The location was amazing and the fact a pizza van came at the weekend was fab too.
A couple of points are that the recycling took a while to be emptied and that the men's toilets, although clean had a distinct wiff. We managed to get a flat space although these are sought after.
Overwhelming though- a great find and would love to go back.
