Poplars Farm Site Reviews

Amazing place

Haven't relaxed so much in years. Views were amazing and the hosts are lovely.

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

What an excellent site!

We were greeted on arrival with a friendly smile and full information on everything we needed to know, plus guidance on local walking routes away from main roads etc. The site itself is beautifully quiet and the plots are well spaced. The outlook from our plot was facing west across a beautiful wild flower meadow and blessed with great weather. It was our pleasure to watch the sun set on the horizon. The facilities are great: clean and fully functional; excellent shower and plenty of hot water. Facilities for recycling, waste disposal etc were great. The site welcomes dogs but not children which we were delighted with (being past the child-focused age!). The site is well located for visiting Ashbourne, Derby and the Peak District generally; there are three excellent foody pubs (Black Horse, the Tiger, the Nag's Head) all within very easy reach and all serving great food at reasonable prices.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your visit and your detailed review. Hope to see you again when you are in the area - bring that sunny weather again!

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!

Thank you very much; lovely to meet you both.

Excellent!

A brilliant stay! We stayed in the camping pods, which provided with everything you need - TV, heater, mini fridge, microwave, kettle and the rest! Nice comfy built in bed and plenty of hooks for hanging clothing up. There was a BBQ and firepit provided with wood for sitting by the fire and the facilities were clean and kept on top of. Lovely owners too with plenty of land to run the dogs on. Will definitely be returning.

Thank you very much, Sophie. It's great that you have taken the time to leave a review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay - most of the weather for your stay was below freezing but at least dry. It would be lovely to see you and the dogs again.

Hazel pod

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.

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.

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.
