Location: Our only gripe is that day or night, you could hear the local traffic and aircraft taking off. You soon got used to the noise though (really not too loud and I love the aircraft anyway). They do not have enough loos. It wouldn't be so bad if they built a urinal block. Despite that, I loved the site and will return to try glamping to test out.
Amazing campsite and lovely people

On arrival there's a phone number to call, continually engaged, so pulled onto a pitch. Saw a lady riding up the site so chased after her, was told to park anywhere. Hardstanding pitches are like lumps of broken up tarmac, certainly wouldn't like to put a groundsheet over it. Fully serviced pitch, so great. Was a weekend, so children playing football, sometimes retrieving ball from your pitch. Toilets & showers, didn't use the individual pods, Hubby said they looked okay, could do with cleaning more when site's full, which it was. Toilets badly fitted, so lid doesn't stay up,. Showers nice enough but more hooks are needed and unless you point the shower head to the side, would soak everything. Nice canal walks nearby and ice cream van visits. My thoughts are, the owners concentrate on the glamping pods more than the campsite, we were given no information on anything, you are literally left to get on with it, no welcome, at all. The grass was nice & short and looking at the site, it looks neat & tidy, until you spot the bins, all overflowing and bags of rubbish all round the bins, not good in hot weather. We didn't have an awful experience, but think more attention needs to be paid to people arriving in vans. Don't think we would stay again.

Our very first outing in our camper so we were a little apprehensive. We booked a EHU on a grass pitch. Our first impression was the site was too big. but no it wasn't at all, we enjoyed a perfect weekend. The facilities and the overall cleanliness were excellent. We enjoyed a lovely long walk along the canal and had a fantastic lunch along with a few drinks. Overall fantastic weekend.

On arrival I had a phone number to ring which was fine, but my first time at the camp I thought maybe someone could of popped out to show me where things were. Would have been more a personal touch. I had to re-ring to ask another question which was resolved, but as my first time here would of been nice to see a face! The place was kept to a high standard of cleanliness and all grassed area kept very nice! I would definitely return here nice and peaceful to!

Good location in terms of there being different places of interest a short drive away. The site is on the flight path for East Midlands Airport, near a freight railway line and near the Derby bypass, so can be noisy at night. The toilets and showers are kept quite clean and there are additional toilet and shower cubicles outside, which is very handy. The inside shower cubicles are nice and spacious. One of the toilet seats in the ladies' needs some attention and the hand dryer is not the best. For the most part, the site felt quite spacious. However, on our last night, there were a lot of bookings and it felt rather overcrowded. Sadly, not all campers followed rules in terms of keeping dogs on leads, which was difficult if your own dog was on a lead and a surprise when a strange dog wanders into your tent! Of course, this is not the fault of the site, but it may be worth the staff picking up on this with individuals, if noticed. The staff were friendly and the site was generally neat, clean and tidy.

For someone who has never been camping before, this was perfect. We stayed in one of the glamping huts, plenty of room for my husband, myself and our 9 year old. It wasn't too far away from the toilet block, that was very clean. My husband loved the wood fired hot tub. And the BBQ was lovely to use (he now wants one for the garden). The staff were great and it felt like a safe place to be. It was nice to have our own decking area and picnic bench. Overall I would highly recommend this place.

It was our first time trying out camping, and we loved it. Perfect site, and for two people who love going on walks, it wasn't too far from the Peak District, about a 40 minute drive. The facilities were very clean, and everyone was lovely and friendly. Would stay again!
