Medium Tent - Large Overflow Field Pitches (Field 2)Aug 2022

It's the third (and best) time we have stayed here in a group. The campsite is well organised and the facilities are clean and regularly maintained. The site is somewhat hilly so you have to be thoughtful when orienting your tent, but the views are amazing and the access to the moors for lovely walks and scenery is on your doorstep. Despite it being a BH weekend they don't overbook the fields, so there's plenty room. Perfect location.

Brilliant Bank Holiday weekend stay

Another fantastic weekend at Barn Farm. We have been coming here for many years and we still think it's the best campsite ever! It's clean and tidy and well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful and keep everything running so smoothly. Plenty of toilet and shower facilities. Bank Holiday entertainment was a real bonus- we loved dancing along to the live bands!

Fabulous long weekend

This place is a little gem, nestled in the beautiful village of Birchover with Stanton Moor on the doorstep and some of the finest countryside and quaint villages you could imagine. The site is stunning and very peaceful. The team are outstanding and nothing is too much trouble, and the facilities are awesome. For the bank holiday weekend they even had a pop up pub on the green, a wood fired pizza outlet, as well as a coffee and pancakes van and another serving great value breakfasts. We had a lovely chilled weekend, thanks!

Brilliant

Absolutely fantastic campsite. The additional extras included as part of the bank holiday weekend were exceptional. From live bands to wood fired pizzas and the very lovely staff at the hot food van. This place goes from strength to strength each year we come.

Amazing

We had the best weekend with friends and we had no electric, but we didn't even miss it. The kids loved running around and playing. There were live bands on all weekend and bouncy castles and bubble football. The toilets and showers were the cleanest I've ever been to.There is a on site shop that is reasonably priced and they had breakfast, pizza and street food vans, ice cream van that drove round. It was just awesome, and we will definitely be back.

Fun at Barn Farm

Great fun on bank holiday weekend. Our group loved the site! Loads to do with a pizza van, shop, park for the kids and own space for playing football/games and climbing in the trees. The boys loved the live music and the cocktails were very good. Would defo recommend. The only negative was the showers in one block were freezing then boiling. Also the toilet block smelt bad all weekend, probably just needed extra cleaning when busy. We'll be back next year

Excellent

Lovely pitches, very clean facilities and good park for children

A good set-up for children, not the most relaxing for adults

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1)Aug 2022

We stayed in high summer and it was very popular with big family groups and young kids. It had a "festival" vibe and was pretty lively. They had visiting butty, coffee and pizza vans. The toilets were clean and the basic facilities were good. The shop was a bit disappointing as many campsite shops nowadays stock nice local produce, and this one doesn't. I thought the opening times were also erratic. The village itself is beautiful with walks starting directly from the campsite, and the food at the Red Lion was brilliant. It may be more peaceful at other times of the year but for those wanting a quiet countryside stay, this probably isn't it. Overall not for us, but great for many I'm sure.

Super stay

Great place. Customer service could be friendlier and more helpful, but otherwise it's a great location and a well run campsite.

Perfect Peak experience

We've been visiting Barn Farm for years. It's in an excellent location and has all the facilities you could wish for - whether you're an old hand or whether you're new to camping. We thought reception staff could be more welcoming, but the campsite as a whole is well looked after. We had a great time!

Very good experience

This is our first time camping and we have had a great experience. We found the facilities here are clean and the shower room is open 24 hours. Highly recommend, especially for the beginner.

Lovely site

Stayed for 5 nights with a 4 year old. Lovely site, plenty to do on site, games room, park outdoor games for children, shop, washing machine, fridge and freezers and even a sunbed to use. Lovely and clean toilets, showers and pot washing areas cleaned regularly. Plenty of local walks, 2 pubs within walking distance. Little one loved the peacocks and alpacas too.Will definitely be returning.

Such a clean and well maintained site, spectacular views all around. Spacious pitches with your own water tap. Lovely and quiet at night time. Friendly staff who are very helpful, including the security chap who was lovely to talk to and gave us some very helpful directions. We had a great time and look forward to going back.

Excellent site

The location was brilliant and all the facilities were clean, as was the site. Our only issue was that we stayed on the first field as you enter the site and it was a real distance for the toilet with young kids. Also, on the wall near the washing up area, a light kept flashing all night and was really annoying when you tried to sit and relax. Apart from that, it was a brilliant site and we will definitely be back.

Perfect

Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4)Aug 2022

We had a great 3 night stay. Views are amazing and the walks are so close. The site was extremely friendly and with 4 children, we found it really safe. The only downside was the large group around us allowing their dog to roam free, meaning we had dog mess by our tents which we had to clean. This didn't ruin the weekend though and the 15 of us had a fab time. The local pubs are both very friendly and the carvery at the Red Lion is beautiful.

Lovely well maintained campsite with good facilities

We thought Barn Farm was a lovely site - we chose it as we were able to book as a group of families with young children. The playground field was perfect for us - the children could play and it was safe as there weren't cars driving through all the time. The children enjoyed the resident peacocks and the games room too. There were other groups on the field, but it was a little crowded and it was quiet at night (apart from the peacocks in the morning!). We would definitely return to this site again.

Barn Farm was very relaxing
