Middlehills Farm Reviews

Great campsite, would love to come again

Great campsite with very nice owners. Separate gents and ladies toilets and separate shower blocks. Shop on site with a great selection of foods, fire pits available to rent for £20. Nice and close to Bakewell and Matlock Bath.

Great

Lovely weekend break, onsite shop was a god send. The hens onsite joined us for breakfast, which was great and entertaining.

Good site with large pitches

Good site. Small shop with everything you need, toilets are clean, good park for children and large pitches.

Lovely campsite

It was an amazing expedition into camping again. The receptionist was super friendly & helpful. Fantastic location, easy to find, great views, brilliant family facilities, everywhere was clean & tidy with brilliant services from camp shop. Showers, toilets all clean and fresh. My only issue was with very inconsiderate campers in next field right behind me. Loud conversations & noise from 10pm through to 5am. That's out of the hands of the camp itself. But I would highly recommend this campsite. It's perfect for singles and families looking for a great tranquil getaway ❤️

Very nice campsite

Very nice stay - kids had a great time. Shop is as good as any I've seen and team were so helpful. The play facilities for the young ones were great and the site itself well tended. Showers and toilets cleaned every day to a good standard. Would stay again.

Fantastic, relaxed and family friendly

What a lovely site. Liz and everyone there were very kind and friendly. There was plenty of space and you could pitch up anywhere. The park was massive- better than most council parks and it was lovely having Pickle the pig nearby and the horses coming to say hello, plus the chickens roaming around everywhere. The shop was small, but well stocked and we could even buy a sleeping bag for grandad who had forgotten his. Facilities were always clean and well stocked. Would definitely recommend to others.

Gem of a campsite

Beautiful campsite. Welcomed on arrival. Facilities are fab. The hottest showers I have ever experienced on a campsite, absolutely fantastic. Toilets and other facilities are cleaned regularly and to a high standard. Small shop stocks local produce, (amongst other handy goods) my personal favourite was the lamb and mint steaks. Recycling bins available and hot ash dispensing. Lovely play area for the kids, a personal favourite of my daughter who spent many a happy hour socialising there. Super area for a base camp with Dovedale, Bakewell and Matlock short drive away. We booked last minute to make the most of the summer spell and so glad we did. Would highly recommend and will definitely return. Big shout to Carolyn and Kevin who are very present at the shop and on site keeping the place beautiful, clean and tidy.

Great spot, beautiful scenery, kid friendly

Beautiful views and plenty of space to choose from during our stay in the school holidays. Kid friendly - kids loved the play park and petting the friendly pig and only a 5 minute drive away from Gullivers kingdom (theme park). Shop on site carried a good variety of everything and staff were accomodating and friendly. Would definitely come again. Only small suggestion would it be great to have a small onsite cafe/food van.

Excellent campsite

Great value for money, beautiful surroundings, lots of space. We really loved our trip!

Brilliant site

Great site, lovely staff- very friendly and helpful. Really clean, great shop too. Kids loved the play area. Loads of space, all in all, a great stay.

2 night stay

Our first time camping as a family with a 10 year old and 7 year old. We absolutely loved it, the site is welcoming, very well kept site where you can feed the pig and the chickens are running round. Great adventure play park that kept the kids amused.Showers are clean, you need 20p for 1 minute which was fine for a quick wash. You can hire a firepit which was great to toast marshmallows on at night and you can have BBQs. Plenty of beautiful walks to do in the area and a short drive from Bakewell. We will definitely be returning.

Pod

Lovely stay at Middlehills Farm Campsite. The grounds were immaculate, the pod was lovely and we had a great time here. Even had a visit by a chicken!

Excellent site

Excellent site and facilities that were well maintained. Seem very friendly. One very small thing - could do with something in the showers to put your soap or whatever in. .

Fun, friendly site

On arrival, everything was clearly set out where to go to check in. Site was clean and well kept, the park was brilliant. Staff were friendly and approachable, the shop was amazing and had almost everything you could need!

Had a great stay!

My partner and I had a lovely weekend stay on this site, it is in a great location with all facilities you could ask for. The staff was super friendly too! I would highly recommend this campsite to all whether family, couples or as individual travellers.

Pleasant and peaceful stay

Had a lovely 5 nights here, mid-week in July. Very quiet and the perfect setting for my 4yo grandson’s first camping experience.

Amazing stay!

Gorgeous place to stay with great facilities and a really friendly team. The fire pits you can rent are a great addition and really made our weekend! Will definitely be coming again :-)

Site okay but showers not great

Site is well maintained. Decent toilet block and the shop looked ok. The large play area for children looked good. Showers are a chargeable extra and not worth it as it is very low pressure and washing long hair is not easy etc. The meters are outside the cubicles so if you run out of time during a wash, you have to dash out to put more money in. No benches or anywhere to put clothes and get changed. Also, they are separate to the toilet block, which is unusual. Quarry noise kept us awake during the night with a constant hum etc. I think in a camper/caravan you might not hear it, as we were under canvas. We left after 1 night due to the above issues, joined up with illness.

Camping

A well run camp site with good facilities for children. Everything was very clean. The shower arrangements were rather basic. Being elderly, there we found the cubicles very confined. The provision of a stool, more clothes hooks and even a hand rail would have been very helpful. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend this site.

Family camping

A great family pitch (2,4 and 6-year-olds). Kids instantly made friends at the campsite. We will return.

Fab site

On a walking holiday so chose Middlehills campsite for the location. I wasn't disappointed. The campsite is spotless with lots of space to choose from. It was busy on Saturday, but still got a good spot. The shop on site is brilliant with everything you need. On Saturday there is a local beer fest, which is short walk away. Great for visiting Dovedale, Ashbourne and the Peak trail. Would highly recommend.👍

Good location, budget friendly campsite!

Good location and budget friendly. However we felt it was a bit overcrowded and there was a lot of midnight noise by campers!

Lovely family site

It was a lovely clean, well managed site. The facilities were excellent and the staff were lovely. It is a great site for families as there is plenty of space and a big climbing frame for the kids. The on site shop had a good selection of products, like toothpaste that we forgot, as well as local meat and bakery goods, which were delicious. There is a resident pig and cheeky chickens that roam around and pop in your tent when you least expect them. There was a lovely atmosphere to the place. The only thing that let it down was the noise of the nearby quarry.

Great site

Great site with everything you need. Good for the kids too. I only rate the location slightly lower as it is difficult to walk in the immediate area as there are no footpaths.

Great little campsite but spoilt by loud group

Great little campsite and I chose it especially as it said quiet after 10.30. First 3 nights were perfect but sadly on our last night a large group arrived and sat up with their music, laughter, loud chatter and constantly barking dog. I didn't see any patrols as promised and even with earplugs they kept me awake until 3am. The showers cost 20p a minute but they are clean and hot. The view was stunning and there is so much to do you need a week! Be sure to check out Luds church!

Site's response

Thank you for your response, I'm sorry you experienced noise on your last night. I can confirm that the group you mentioned did speak to me on Sunday and said as soon as you complained, they did turn the music off. Plus, we had security on who patrolled the site. It is really hard to tell people they can't stay up talking and laughing, but we do try our best!
