Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Oct 2024 Barn farm is a must visit site. There were beautiful views from all sides of the site. Surrounded by wildlife, not including the on site peacocks.
Beautiful campsite
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Oct 2024 This is the third time that we have stayed at this campsite and it's our new local favourite.
Plenty of walks local to the site, lots to do in the area and two lovely pubs in the village. It's just a shame that it closes during winter months.
Great campsite with loads of facilities
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Oct 2024 A lovely campsite, located amidst the stunning countryside. Great facilities with two local pubs, within easy walking distance. Some stunning walks starting from the camp site.
Great stay
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Oct 2024 Amazing stay, the site is clearly well looked after and everything is spotless. Shower blocks were lovely and warm and very clean.
Loads of cows, sheep, alpacas and peacocks so it felt like a farm and the kids love it. Games room is a good touch! We will be back ♥️
Great site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Oct 2024 All good. Just if you are in a camper/van/caravan and you have friends who are camping, try to get the camper slots (there are 4) in the top field if you want to be together.
Fantastic campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Oct 2024 Really nice stay here. All facilities I used were clean, lovely surroundings. Decent size pitches. Couple of nice local pubs within walking distance. Red Lion serves great food.
Will stay here again!
Will go again
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Oct 2024 Really good campsite ⛺️ showers and toilets clean staff were great.
Only one small criticism was the camp shop not always open as pre the stated opening times, but we would recommend and will be booking for another stay 😁😁😁
Beautiful stay! Wonderful facilities
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 Would highly recommend. A lovely place to stay, with good facilities and a lovely village to walk to.
Perfect campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Sep 2024 Nice campsite. Good location for walks and pubs.
Nice site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 Good location for walks and the village of Birchover. 2 nice pubs within 5 mins walk, which served good food (Make sure you book as it gets busy). The views/backdrop are stunning.
The one negative was our pitch was on a slant. Note to self, purchase some wheel balancing ramps.
On the whole, we had a really nice weekend, plus the weather helped. Tony - 27th-29th Sept.
Lovely site, well worth a visit
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 Excellent site, very clean, plenty of walks from the site. The Druid Arms is well worth a visit, excellent food.
Fantastic place to stay
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 A lovely site, great location and a helpful team. All of the facilities are immaculate.
There are two pubs within walking distance, we had a lovely meal at the Druids Inn, which had a log burner lit, so it was lovely and cosy.
We have booked an extra night at the campsite and we feel it's good value. Thank you. Mary and Ian.
Excellent
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Sep 2024 Would definitely stay again.
Solo stay at Barn Farm
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Sep 2024 Staff left you alone, but were very friendly and helpful when needed.
Campervan stay
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches Sep 2024 Brilliant stay with easy access in a beautiful location.
Lovely campsite in a great location
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 Barn Farm is a lovely clean site in a great location. It is not too large and it felt quite private.
I camped with two dogs and they were made welcome. There are lots of trails very nearby both long and short which was ideal as we could walk to them.
There were a couple of pubs very nearby too. The site was very well kept, clean and had good facilities. I'll definitely be returning in the future.
Lovely site, clean and quiet.
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 Lovely site, quiet and clean. Good to see they still cater for Duke of Edinburgh students, although I guess it wont be so quiet when they are on site!
It was a short walk to the pubs, and there were lots of walking routes from the campsite.
Busy site but well equipped to manage
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Sep 2024 Beautiful views. Busy site when we stayed due to an event but the facilities were sufficient to cope. Lots of showers available and well stocked on all the other facilities.
Great location for walks and access to the Peak District with Bakewell a few miles north. Will definitely return.
Beaut stay!
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Sep 2024 The lady that we met was extremely accommodating, as we were unaware of what we needed to book with a tent box, and she talked us through it and moved us fields with no hassle.
Location was perfect with beautiful views. We had an early wake up call Saturday morning with the breast cancer awareness walk (Coppafeel) taking off from that campsite and we were unaware. Nothing too major though and will definitely book to stay there again!
Beautiful campsite, excellent location
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 This is probably the most well-kept campsite I have been to - incredibly clean and the pitches and fields are immaculate (without feeling clinical).
The views are incredible, staff friendly and helpful, and the location is fantastic. Some beautiful walks nearby and a good pub! Would highly recommend.
Our stay
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Sep 2024 Nice site and area with 2 pubs close by and only short distance to towns, some good walks nearby.
There was a charity event on in one of their fields which they didn't say would be starting at 6:30am on the Saturday morning which was a bit loud, but only lasted the one day and was not on their events website.
Otherwise, a good little site which I will be using again.
Great stay
Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4) Sep 2024 Very nice site with excellent facilities.
Noisy event ruined our weekend
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1) Sep 2024 The reason I've given a poor score is there was a event on, and at 6am they were playing music full blast. This was not advertised and I wouldn't have booked had we have known.
Fabulous site in a brilliant location!
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 This site is in a lovely location at the top of Birchover village. It's a huge site with vast fields for events and also a large camping field. There are 2 areas of hardstanding pitches, one quite large, which we opted not to go on as the pitches were all very sloping. The other area is just next door, with just four pitches and facing the camping field. We found the pitch quite level and the facilities were only seconds away.
When we were there, the site was hosting a charity event on the main field which meant there was a lot of activity as marquees and a stage were put up, but it was interesting to watch. The 'mega marathon' the entrants were taking part in kicked off at 6am on the Saturday morning, so we were woken by the loudspeakers as the groups were given their countdown before the off!
There are plenty of showers and toilets located around a courtyard near to the reception. All facilities were clean, even with the hundreds of extra guests they had to accommodate.
In the village there are two pubs, only a few minutes walk away. We tried both but much preferred the Druid Inn at the edge of the village. Would fully recommend their Sunday lunch, absolutely delicious, with loads of thick juicy roast beef, freshly cooked veg and lots of it. There is the 172 bus service which was very reliable to take you into Bakewell or Matlock, our journey to Bakewell took the 'scenic' route so we got to see so many quaint, tiny villages! If you walk to the top of the camping field, you come out on the bend of the road that goes out of the village. From here, you will find the footpath that takes you to the Cork Stone and the Nine Ladies stone circle - fabulous walk!
From our pitch, we had views across the dales and as we were blessed with sunny weather, each morning we woke to beautiful sunrises.
This site is fabulous, very well maintained with a rustic charm - would definitely recommend.
Beautiful location
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Sep 2024 Stunning location for walking. Great pub 5 minutes walk, Druid Inn.
As it was end of season it was very quiet and shop and reception not manned. Pitch was roomy, electric hook up. Alpacas and lovely Jacob sheep, peacocks and cows! Would to come back in the spring.
