Farditch Farm Caravan Park Reviews

What a gem

What an absolute gem. The location is lovely, and very easy to get to, the roads are well maintained. Our pitch was roomy, tidy and with good views. The water was nearby, and it was very peaceful. The facilities were plentiful for the demand, clean and tidy. We will definately return!

Great value for a short stopovers

Farditch Farm was everything we expected it to be. It was good value. The amenities were very good. Very clean. There weren't many people on the site for our stay and so I can only assume it would be kept clean. We had a small campervan and felt we were the 'poor relations' stuck around the back of the building. However, it provided lovely views and it was very convenient for the showers and toilets. We only stayed one night even though we'd booked two because the road was very noisy and it kept us awake. The noise was probably worse for us because we had a pop top campervan. I doubt it would have been such a problem in a motorhome or caravan. Our pitch number was texted to us a couple days prior to our visit, there is no reception. This was fine for our needs.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you liked our site and the amenities. Sorry to hear you didn't stay the second night due to the traffic noise. There is no check-in, however we do have staff in the office (facilities area) Monday - Thursday 9am-3pm (dependent), Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 10am-4pm.

Campervan at Farditch

Fabulous location, wonderful toilets, showers, service points. A bus stop within 20 mins walk for Bakewell or Buxton. The motorhome pitches were enormous. However our campervan pitch (16) was far too close to the next van, definitely not 4 metres, nearer 2 metres, which meant we were able to hear them talking, watching TV and even snoring. We would definitely stay at this site again but would request not to have pitch 16 or 17. The other small campervan pitches were more spacious.

Thank you for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and the noise from the other campers haven't put you off returning.

Lovely stay on quiet pitch. Convenient location close to bus route to Bakewell and other locations.

Little gem!

Immaculately kept, spotlessly clean. Facilities are superb, cleanest showers and toilets we have seen. Thank you for a very comfortable stay.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again in the future.

A small farm site

With only a few pitches this was a lovely small site. We were pleasantly surprised at how spotless the facilities were. There was a room with sofas and table and chairs we could use plus a large TV which came in useful as it was an important rugby weekend.

Site's response

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope the rugby result was a positive one for you. We look forward to you returning in the future.

Beautiful location, quiet and peaceful

Beautiful location, ideally situated for visiting Buxton. Facilities were spotlessly clean and the lounge had all of the information about the local area we required. Very quiet site but then it was early March. Will try and get back again in the Autumn.

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit and look forward to welcoming you back in the Autumn.

Sunny week in Derbyshire

Great site. Friendly and professional staff which keep the site pristine. Be aware that on weekdays, noise from HGVs is significant due to proximity to an A road.

Site's response

Thankyou for your kind review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. You definitely timed it right with the weather. The noise from the traffic can be off putting for some and due to local roadworks it has meant there was more than usual. We hope it hasn't deterred you returning to us in the future.

Wish we were staying longer

Farditch Farm was more than we could have asked for. We are new to "van life" so had booked the pitch last minute. We wish we had stayed an extra couple of nights. The shower facility was clean and warm, there was space to let our dog off to stretch his legs and it was close to a town but far enough out in the countryside to fell we were off grid. I cannot recommend it enough, and will be back.

Feb half term stay

Facilities had everything you needed and kept super clean. Makes the whole camper experience, especially in the cold and wet, that bit easier!

Site's response

Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.

Excellent site

Lovely super pitches which were made private by the bushes. Very good amenities, there was a shower block with a disabled wet room, a lounge area with a TV and kitchen area, which was very clean and tidy.

Site's response

Thank you!

Lovely little spot

Lovely little place. Facilities were great and washrooms very clean. The kitchen was good everything in there that you could have needed. The only thing that wasn't brilliant was the Wi-Fi was very patchy didn't have any yesterday, so may be a problem if you need it! Would definitely recommend 🙂

Site's response

Thank you for your review, glad you enjoyed your stay. We work very closely with IT to make sure the service is good, considering our rural location. Blockers and VPN's on personal devices can sometimes interfere with joining the Wi-Fi.

Winter break

The site is excellent. Well maintained and first class facilities, including a kitchen and lounge should you need it. The only draw back - and it's no fault of the site or owners - is traffic noise, particularly heavy lorries using the A5270 between the A515 and A6, which starts around 04:30 and continues throughout the day. Perhaps to be expected given it's ease of access.

Thank you!

Lovely stay

Lovely site with great access. The pitches were very generous, they had water electric and a grey waste dump on all pitches. The toilets were immaculate and the staff were very friendly.

Thank you, please visit us again sometime!

Lovely little site, will use again

Located between Buxton and Bakewell. This site is ideal for exploring, especially the Monsal Trail and Chatsworth. A clean and tidy site with fully serviced pitches, good facilities too. Also good for dogs, we have 3 who were made welcome 😁

Superb site

Last minute booking but what a find, faultless. It's going to be my go to site whenever I'm in the Peaks, which is frequently.

Site's response

Thank you, looking forward to welcoming you again!

Lovely campsite

A lovely little campsite in a good location, a short drive away from several options. Really good facilities and all at a great price!

Site's response

Thank you so much, please visit us again!

Overnight stay

Excellent site and the shower block and kitchen facilities are fantastic, especially after a long cold hike. Clean and well cared for.

Site's response

Thank you!

Short break

Nice quiet site. Showers etc were okay. Nice lounge bit, dogs not permitted so didn't use it. Quite expensive for this time of year, but that's our thoughts.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to review.

Great stay

The site was well kept and communication was good. We liked the "hands off" approach, the communication from the owners was excellent and there was no need for them to be around on arrival. We enjoyed having a serviced pitch and it felt quite private. The facilities were very good, very clean and not overcrowded. The kitchen and lounge areas were great; we did not use the lounge but other people were happily relaxing there. We did use the kitchen for washing up and again, this area was very clean and thoughtfully set out. Walks straight from the site, so no need to use the car. We will return.
