Site facilities include a modern, eco friendly, heated wash block with toilets, free showers, disabled facilities and an indoor washing up area. The hot water is generated through a ground source heat pump which is powered by solar panels (as is the rest of the site).

The toilets use rainwater collected off the roof and waste water gets filtered through a reed bed which is a natural habitat for wildlife.

Ice pack freezing is available and there are plug sockets guests are welcome to use to charge their devices. The site's shop sells Dale Farm's own meats, jams, chutneys, cakes and treats - plus eggs from nearby farms down the road. There is also firewood, kindling, fire lighters and charcoal available to purchase.

Great Longstone is a ten minute walk away, where you can find great pubs and the village shop. The White Lion has a play area with swings, football, tennis and basketball behind the pub.

VW-Type Campervan - Hillside All Weather Grass Pitches with ElectricNov 2024

This is a lovely site with wonderful views across the landscape. It has very well kept pitches and facilities, and the scrupulously clean showers and toilets were fantastic. The site has two pubs within 5 minutes walking and the Monsall Trail is easily accessible from here. We loved it and are looking forward to coming again.

Things to do on site and in the Bakewell area

The farm is right in the centre of the Peak District and its many walking, cycling, mountain biking and fell running trails. Bakewell is a short drive or an hour's walk away (along the Monsal Trail) and has many shops and cafes. Chatsworth House is a 15 minute drive from the farm, and features on one of the mountain bike trails which start from the farm gate.

You are also welcome to interact with the farm's livestock, including sheep (sometimes lambs, sometimes bottle fed), Highland cows (don't worry, they are in a different field!), a few pigs and one very attention-seeking farm cat!
