Bank House Farm Reviews

Fantastic campsite

Fantastic campsite, great location and with spotless facilities. Manifold Inn just opposite which does great food and a great little shop on site for basics, will definitely be back.

Great place to stay!

We had a lovely spot to pitch along the river, called 'River Bend', which meant we could admire the mayflies dancing in the evening light, and in the night, we heard the squeak of an otter as it passed by. The site offers the opportunity to hire out a firepit along with wood and kindling, which we jumped at and had fun (eventually!) managing to get a fire blazing. We really enjoyed having a peaceful evening reading next to the fire, and the washing area and showers and toilets were to a high standard. It was also really appreciated that the taps to get drinking water from were regularly spaced around the campsite, so it was easy to fill up heavy water storage containers without having to lug them too far. The owners were helpful too, we'd definitely camp here again!

Not for everyone

Place was lovely but facilities terrible for those who had non electric grass tent pitches. Portable toilets without toilet rolls and water! Everyone who booked electric had everything they needed.

Perfect campsite

Love the facilities. Toilet and shower room and the pot washer area all are so well maintained and clean! Convenience shop is a bonus! Kids enjoyed buying stuff so much.

Lovely lovely place

Facilities are some of the best we've seen…incredibly well kept pitches. Pub over the road is a blessing and would also recommend both dinner and breakfast...👍

Fantastic

Excellent location for exploring or staying and relaxing on site. Stunning views and sunsets and a very clean, well maintained site. Helpful cheerful staff, nothing is too much! Will visit again very soon.

Great site

Great site, lovely clean showers and toilets. Large pot wash area, washing and drying machines, and also the use of fridge/freezer. Nice to have a shop on site too. The only downside was there is no children's play area, other than that we have no complaints.

A great find

Good location for sightseeing, walking and cycling routes. Well kept site and facilities block kept very clean with regular checks and spot cleans. Good pub opposite. had Sunday breakfast and meal during the week. A great stay.

Fabulous campsite

This was our second visit to bank house campsite and we loved it. The site is in a beautiful setting with friendly staff and excellent facilities. We will return again soon x

Nice place in beautiful hilly countryside

Everything was nice and pleasant and very well looked after. I have just one thing to say: missing toilet facilities in the field (over the bridge and no electricity), the nearest toilet was about 300 m away. Imagine in the night you wake up needing the loo...etc Otherwise very happy.

Amazing site

A great location, lovely facilities, perfect for walks and a nice pub only a minute away! Perfect! We shall return!

Many thanks for your review, Andy. Pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back. Wayne.

Lovely site!

A really lovely site to stay. The site was friendly and tidy and there is lots of things to do nearby. They had a pop up pizza stall the first night we arrived, which was lovely. We popped to the pub over the road and had a drink and they even allowed us to take a couple of bottles back to the campsite.

4 night stay at Bank House Farm

The site was organised and well thought out. All facilities were clean and well maintained, as were the pitches and grounds. My only point is personally I would like to be able to adjust the temperature of the showier along with the height of the shower head, I understand the reasons behind the push button arrangement and fixed heads but that would be my preference. The site is on the smaller side and does not have things like a bar or pool, but the onsite shop sells the essentials and there is a pub just by the entrance to the site. All in all, a pleasant and relaxing site offering a good base to many of the local attractions.

Very happy campervanners!

Just got back and what a campsite! Stopped in our classic campervan on a riverside hard pitch. Perfect location and lovely and peaceful with lots of ducks for neighbours until the weekend. Excellent facilities. Worth going up the hill for and there is a bus stop right outside the site gates to Ashbourne or Buxton. Wood fired pizza van on site on Saturday and the site shop was well stocked. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay and will return .

Lovely location and well kept site

Lovely site in a lovely location. Amenities are top-class and were immaculate. We had a riverside pitch which was lovely. Well stocked shop, good WiFi. Fabulous dog walking field. Great site.

Excellent campsite

We stayed in a tent on an extra large pitch. This put us at the top field with electric. Stunning views across the countryside and great sunset. Pub close enough for a walk, but far enough so you don't hear it at night. Facilities looked new can't fault those really. Dog walking field is great addition on-site. Enjoyed our stay for 2 nights.

Great stay

We had a brilliant start at Bank House and will certainly be returning. The facilities were in excellent condition and clean. The location is beautiful, which of course always helps. Only slight niggle would be that there were no recycling facilities, so we bought these items back with us.

Many thanks for your review, Beth. Just to let you know that everything that goes in the peak waste skip gets recycled. They have a zero-to-landfill policy, we have a statement regarding the waste on our welcome brochure and in the information area. We look forward to welcoming you back at some point. Wayne and Team

Great site

A lovely spacious site. Great exercise field for our dog, with great views from the top. The showers were lovely and clean. Lovely walks.

Our stay

Great place for short or long stay.

Fabulous site

Fabulous site very friendly and helpful.

Lovely, peaceful location

Beautiful campsite. Really clean and well kept. Lovely owners, plenty of lovely places and walks to go to. Highly recommend.

Good location, friendly staff, a bit noisy though!

Very high standard of facilities, but a bit of a trek from the top field to the loo's and showers (especially coming back uphill). Warm greeting and very convenient and well stocked on-site shop - but would be twice as good if it stayed open an extra hour or two in the evening. Only material negative of the top field is the noise from the adjacent road and the flight path overhead. Neither were so frequent as to be annoying, but just frequent enough to disrupt the tranquillity of the site. The road may be an issue unique to the top field, as other sections of the site are much further away from it. Nothing the site itself can do about either though, so just an observation rather than a criticism. If you want food at the pub over the road book a day or two in advance for a dinner time table!

Absolutely loved our stay

Just to say thank you so much to the staff, you're lovely people. Very welcoming and helpful. I booked this site for my 50th birthday, we had riverside pitches, and everyone enjoyed it. Beautiful location, immaculate facilities, everything you need and more. I'm definitely coming back and have already recommended it to friends. Thanks x

Holiday stay

Very enjoyable stay, location good - handy for everywhere.

Nice site with a great pub next door but not the cheapest

Friendly site, catered for flexible dates well, would stay again and the Manifold Inn next door is superb. Only negative was no recycling waste (it was all in one skip so took home) and the cost compared to other similar peak sites.
