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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Annual trip for our family x 3 tents
Small Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 We come here each year, 3 generations of family, for a weekend get together.
The site is clean and tidy, rules aren't too strict but are in place and the toilet/shower block is always clean. The wash up facilities are good, if guests are considerate for others that is (which sadly some are not).
Some weekends are very busy as there are additional activities on, so if you want to avoid that check the website. Likewise if you're into that sort of thing, book! We've done both kinds 😉
Local to the site are 2 pubs and miles of good walks.
Great family stay!
Large Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 Lovely place to stay! A few games on the green for kids, peacocks dotted around and a great little playground. Nice and peaceful, whenever any teens got rowdy the security put a stop to it pretty quickly as they walked around.
We are first time campers and it ended up being a great choice. The only thing that was unfortunate for us was we ran out of gas and the shop was closed. The number given to call someone to it wasn't answered, so no brews for us from 5:30pm Saturday to 10am Sunday, gutted! Just one of those things. (On the same note, absolute god send that the pizza van was there as we were in the middle of cooking! Loved the pizza van!!)
Great location, lovely village pub and great value for money. Would definitely visit again!
Lovely site!
Small Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 A lovely site. We have had a very enjoyable weekend! A very large and busy site. On both evenings, we have heard noise from other guests til gone 1am. The facilities are good and it's very good that the showers are free of charge. The toilets sometimes looked like they needed a clean around the sink areas, but we do understand that they are serving a lot of people. Only a few washing up sinks had plugs so you had to go searching for one. We would recommend this site for families and get togethers. I would think it would be quieter in the week! Thanks again.
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.
Good site
Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2) Jul 2023 Park and games were great for kids. Facilities clean. Fridge and freezer were a great idea. Pizza van was a fab idea. They're delicious, but beware they are very popular so there will be a long wait!
Great campsite and facilities
Medium Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Jul 2023 Lovely campsite, we went with a group of friends and had a fabulous time.
We had both sunshine and rain, the site is sheltered yet still provides wonderful scenery and views into the valley.
We had 8 children with us, ranging from 2-9 years and the site was safe and had plenty to keep them entertained. NB the games room requires 50p coins and £1 coins to operate.
The only negative was the cleanliness - generally okay and I think the loos were cleaned twice daily…the quality of the clean could be improved.
Plenty of facilities though for washing, showers etc, including adult-only showers, and pot wash areas etc were great.
Great value for money and I would return!
Lovely, busy campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Jul 2023 Busy, but not crowded and plenty of clean and nice facilities. Great provisions for children.
