Middlehills Farm Reviews

Quick stopover

Electric pitch was massive. Great views, we hoped to use breakfast van but no longer there, farm shop available. Lovely site, will defo stop again when in the area.

Lovely site

Lovely park in a great location. Pros: good facilities without having to wait. Well-stocked shop on site. Good play area which kids loved. Cons: dogs have to be on lead at all times, this is understandable however a field or sectioned-off area for exercising dogs would be great. Straight onto an A road when you come out of the campsite- no walks without driving somewhere.

Site's response

Hi, thanks for your review, just to let you know for future, the fields as you come up the drive are dog friendly, and happy for you to let them off there and they have just been mown.

Great location

Everything was great with this site. Location was spot on for visiting many different places and would have been equally happy to stay on site and enjoy the view. We were on the lower plot with the electric hook ups and it's perfect if you want a quiet time. The top plots were a little livelier and great for families. Chippy on site on a Saturday evening. Small shop with a great range, block of toilets and two blocks of showers (I only marked down on the showers as the water pressure was poor). We highly recommend and will be stopping again.

One of the best campsites

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this excellent campsite. Toilets, showers and pot cleaning area are cleaned to a high standard everyday. The shop has essential items, there's a handy fridge/freezer in the pot cleaning area for campers and the owners Nick & Liz really went out of their way to ensure my stay was pleasant and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for them. This was very much appreciated, thank you Nick & Liz. Would also like to thank Kevin & Carolyn who are very friendly and approachable. Great views are an added bonus. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely camping trip

Me, my partner and my 3-year-old son spent the night. It was our first camping trip, and it was a lovely relaxing time. Got a lovely spot facing a field, with some very chatty sheep.

Great campsite

We have been to stay here twice this month. The site has lots of room with 2 fields and you choose your own space. The facilities are great with plenty of toilets/ showers/ washing up area and drinking water taps. All kept very clean. There's also a play area for children and some farm animals too! I would highly recommend staying here and we will be back again soon.

Lovely couple of nights

Lovely site, friendly staff. Site is well maintained and all communal areas are clean and of good standard. Lovely play area for the kids, small shop with all the necessities. This was lovely start to our camping adventures. We would definitely visit again 😊

A mixed picture

A mixed picture for this site. Pros: lovely views, friendly shop staff, clean toilets, clean area, lovely play park, resident wandering chickens. Cons: never mind the crows, it's the relentless quarry noise that lets this site down. It was pretty much non stop our whole stay (mid week, so may not be an issue at weekends?). I appreciate this is not associated with the site but it was the biggest negative factor for our stay. Also, shower pressure is poor and Wi-Fi doesn't cover all of the site (no 3G/4G/5G).

Site's response

I'm sorry you did not enjoy your stay. There's not much we can do about nature, though luckily the crows have now flown away with their yearlings. Noise levels from the quarry depend a bit on the wind direction. We will look into the water pressure as haven't had any other complaints. Being out in the middle of the countryside, I don't think we're alone in having a patchy signal in places

Lovely stay

Had a lovely weekend here and will defo be booking to stay again. The owner went above and beyond and collected us when we didn’t get picked up by our taxi. What a lovely, lovely lady.

All round review

Great site, very family friendly, good kids play area, loads of space for outdoor games between tents, the shop is good stocking essentials plus toys/games etc to help keep kids entertained if needed from 4.30 - 6:30pm. On Saturdays they have a chip van visit which we used for our tea and it was delicious would highly recommend. The only downside was that we went for a walk, hoping to call at the Holly Bush Inn for a drink to find it was close. However this is certainly not a reflection on the campsite, would definitely stay again!

Father's Day weekend with my family

Returned home from a fabulous few days stay at Middlehills. What a lovely, friendly, spacious site. Plenty of space for each pitch and for children to play. Plenty of toilets and facilities onsite. Locality excellent with lots to do in the area. We will be back to visit again.

Everything was clean and in very good order

Vey friendly staff. Felt extremely welcome. Very pleased with stay, will return.

Very nice site, in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales

Excellent campsite. Very friendly welcome. Very good facilities with everything clearly signposted. Lovely clean WC block and shower block. Pitches well maintained. I would definitely stay here again. Excellent rubbish disposal and recycling. Lots of families with young children and some dogs, but they all respected the 10:30 quiet time, so I got a good night's sleep. The only slight snag is that I was told there are no walkers' footpaths directly from the campsite across the adjacent fields. The fields are signposted as private property, so it's a car journey to the nearest walking trail.

Really good

Really good campsite!

Lovely spot

Lovely campsite, well organised and really good for children (play area, animals and lots of space, plus booster step in the washrooms). Others made negative of a quarry and it's 'noise', but it stops at night and is very ignorable so not an issue. Washrooms were very clean and the shop was well stocked with pretty much every item you could forget! Staff were helpful, friendly and nice. Good location for exploring the south of the Peak District.

Fantastic, already planning our return

Beautiful surroundings, and everything you need on site. We made use of the fish and chip van on Saturday night (cash only). Shop is really well stocked and great value. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Facilities were excellent. The site seems popular with school D of E groups, but if you don't mind rugby games being played at full volume at 9pm next to your tent, it's fab (as we have young children that woke up when the sheep on the hills did, we cannot throw any stones regarding noise). Wonderful family friendly site. We stayed one-night as a first experience for our children but are planning a longer return trip very soon.

Beautiful site

One of the best sites we've stayed at. Definitely the best park! It did get a bit crowded but I like that you can choose where to pitch up. So easy to get to and 12 min drive to Matlock Bath. Intend to go again.

Great family campsite

Lovely large site, plenty of space to spread out, and a food van came on Saturday evening with fish and chips and for breakfast on Sunday morning. Showers were nice and hot and kept clean. Extremely good value for money!

Lovely place for a break

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend break and thoroughly enjoyed it. The showers, toilets, and general facilities are all clean and well looked after. The onsite shop is a plus too. The owners are lovely and very accommodating. We had originally booked for the Friday and Saturday nights stay, but unfortunately were not able to make it on Friday. However, they graciously allowed us to move this missed night to the Sunday and were very helpful with anything we asked about. I would recommend this site to anyone as its excellent, safe, clean, friendly and relaxing.

Middlehills

Nice views but close location to a large quarry. Workings made the stay very noisy so we left a day early, plus they let three families in tents pitch up where the caravans should be and they completely took over the field. Chemical waste point was poor and not to standard. Toilets had showers that you had to pay to have hot water per five minutes.

Nice site - would recommend.

Nice campsite, fire pit was hired from the shop as well as briquettes. A playground for the kids and a couple of toilet blocks. Would recommend.

First class, thank you!

In our opinion, you couldn't fault the caravan site. Great for families and couples alike.

Lovely location

Set in a beautiful area of countryside. Well spaced out pitches and standard toilet blocks. Bit of noise from the nearby quarry but nothing awful. Was really glad that we weren’t pitched near to the play area as that was very noisy but you can choose where you pitch your tent (non-electric).

Ticks all the boxes

Excellent value for money and all facilities were as expected - ticks all the right boxes for our stay.

Lovely place. Lovely staff.

This was my first time camping as a solo parent. Everyone was nice there and they had little extras like a chip van that came at a weekend. Lovely little place.
