Poplars Farm Site Reviews

Cracking site

We enjoyed staying here. A small friendly site. You can get a bus from just outside the site to Ashbourne, Belper and Derby. The site is small and quiet. I suggest contacting the site directly for any information you require.

Many thanks for your visit and review. It was lovely to meet you both.

Two nights stay

The site is as we expected, the owners were nice and helpful and the views were good. But it rained most of the time. We will return to the site some day, so yes would recommend.

Thank you, Stuart. It was the wettest weekend of the year so far! Hope to see you again in drier times!

Stay at Poplars Farm Site

The site is absolutely wonderful, the views are stunning and you notice them as soon as you pull onto the site. We are looking forward to our next visit to this site very soon.

Lovely and restful

Nice little campsite, could do with a bit of a makeover in the toilets, but this isn't a negative and we will be back. The shower is great. It's a bit windy but would you expect it with it being high up there, the views are lovely. Not too far from Carsington water. The owners are helpful and cheerful. Don't believe the sat nav, it told us we were there and then we went and missed it, but there's a big pub car park to turn around in just up the road.

Thank you for your visit. Lovely to meet you; hope you both enjoy your new camping hobby. We have replaced the shower cubicle and shower and the flooring and one toilet in the facilities block. We’re on a rolling programme - taps and one of the washbasins next as funds allow. Look forwards to seeing you again.

A great find!

Lovely, small site which offers views, ample facilities, peace and quiet and a location in which to explore from. Owners are very helpful. I would describe it as a place to escape…..just load the van up and enjoy the peace.

Thanks, Claire. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. The thunderstorms on Saturday night broke the peace a little!

Fantastic site

Lovely quiet site. Owners very friendly. Facilities clean. Great views over fields. Our dog loved running around the meadow.

Thank you, Ruth. Very pleased you had an enjoyable stay. The wild flower meadows are at their best in May and June.

Beautiful site

Myself, daughter and son in law, along with our 2 spaniels, stayed at this very beautiful sight for 3 nights. The pitch size for my caravan and awning was more than enough and the owners were so lovely and friendly, (and their gorgeous friendly spaniels too🐶🐶) Would highly recommend and is excellent value.

Thank you very much for your review and your visit. The weather wasn’t quite what was forecast! Lovely to meet you and your two spaniels.

Perfect stay

Beautiful site with the most amazing pod. The pod was spotless with all the accessories we needed. The one thing we liked the most was that each pod had its own shower and toilet room. A bbq and fire pit was provided. 3 pubs in walking distance from the pod and a great location close to Carsington Waters. The owner greeted us at the site and was very pleasant. I would definitely book again and recommend to family and friends.

Thank you for your visit and review. Lovely to meet you both - the weather certainly helped!

Amazing stay

We had an amazing 3 night stay, we barbequed for breakfast and dinner every day. It was relaxing and comfortable, the lady that runs is lovely so welcoming. It's close to a great little pub where we stopped for a drink after a day out, and if you need to stock up, there's a Sainsburys nearby.

Great little site

Small peaceful site, with friendly owners and good clean facilities. Hope to return!

Peaceful getaway for New Year's. Lovely location, friendly hosts and a clean and tidy pod. Would recommend and will probably return during warmer months!

Peaceful stay

Solo traveler. Had a fantastic stay. Very quite and peaceful, facilities were great. The views were stunning, especially at night while using the fire pit (included with the pod).Sara was very welcoming and informative about the area. Great value for money, would definitely recommend staying.

Site's response

Thank you very much for your stay and taking the time to do a review. So glad you appreciated the views and sitting by the fire pit.

Warm welcome

A lovely find and reluctant to say how good it is, as it is only small but perfect for touring around, cycling to Ashbourne and walking at Carsington Water. We will be back, if it isn’t already all booked up!!

Beautiful setting

Beautiful setting, quiet with large fields for the dogs and no livestock We were made very welcome and the facilities were great👍

Basic but really nice

Lovely small site, great for dogs which was what we wanted. Very quiet and after the warm welcome you're left alone to relax. Great stop for a few days.

Site's response

Thank you for your visit and review, Damian. We usually get a high rating from the dogs! Hope to see you again when you’re in our neck of the woods.

Beautiful and peaceful

Amazing place to stay. Very friendly. Sarah was very helpful on arrival. Showers were really clean. Very peaceful and lovely to chill and relax. Would highly recommend!

Thank you very much for your stay, Megan, and taking the time to do a review.

Beautiful and serene farm site

Poplars is a small and therefore very quiet, almost private, farm site. You get what's described on the website. We chose the site just because we have a dog that goes with us whether on short or long holidays, and Poplars was an excellent choice. Sarah and the spaniels were very welcoming and friendly, making sure that we settled down well. We've been into camping pods lately due to downgrading into a small car (now not able to bring all our camping gear) and Poplars is the first site we've used where each pod has an allocated "private" toilet and shower! This should now be the standard for all small campsites! As described on its website, Poplars is also surrounded by beautiful scenery being situated on the edge of the Peak District. The scenery is priceless, especially just before sunrise. Will definitely be back a bit longer next time. Highly recommended!

Great peaceful place

Really enjoyed staying at this farm. It was our first time glamping and we had everything we needed for our short stay. Nice and clean site with well placed bathroom facilities. It's conveniently close to Ashbourne, Carsington Water Park, and Dovedale. Will definitely return.

Lovely quiet site

This was a lovely little site with very good and very clean facilities. The shower was the best I have ever experienced on a campsite, lovely and clean and spacious with unlimited hot water and plenty of hanging space. Great location to visit different areas of the Peak District and I can recommend the pub just down the road, The Black Horse, for excellent food in cosy surroundings.

Thank you very much for your visit and review. You seemed to cope very well in the dreadful weather off the back of storm Franklin. Hope to see you again.
