Poplars Farm Site Reviews

Warm, cosy pod

Warm, cosy pod in the middle of the wild. If you're looking for peace and quiet, then this is your place. Owners welcoming and helpful. Next time, in warmer weather, we will try the toilets and bathroom outside of the pod. We had a visitor from the next farm, a cat called Tommy - very friendly and cheeky.

Thank you for your visit. Lovely to meet you both. It is true the toilet and shower room for each pod are in the nearby amenities block, so it is a short step outside. Tommy, the farm cat from next door, certainly missed you after you left!

Lovely site

A small friendly site with lovely views.

Thank you very much for your visit and review, Alison.

Lovely

Just on our way home from a lovely 2 night stay here. The pod was so comfy, cosy and toasty warm. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows on the fire pit, surrounded by the quiet amazing field views! Everything was clean and it had everything you need. The owners were lovely and helped direct us on our long walk to Carsington Water, which was lovely. We also had the best bangers and mash ever from a pub down the road called The Black Horse. Would definitely come again, thank you 😊

Thank you, Kirsty, so pleased you enjoyed your visit.

Highly recommend

We look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks.

Brilliant place

Honestly myself and partner cannot recommend this place enough. We stayed 3 nights and wished we stayed more. It was a small break for my birthday and my gf called ahead without me knowing and asked if it was possible for the room to be decorated and a cake to be bought. We arrived with the pod decorated and a homemade birthday cake. Loveliest couple running the place and we will be returning. If you're reading this, I highly recommend you come yourselves.

Thank you for reviewing your stay; very pleased you enjoyed your time here, Stacey.

Excellent get away

Sara, the host, was very helpful and welcoming. The hut was very clean and tidy, with all the facilities you could wish for. The beds were very comfy and the hut was very warm and cosy. The toilet block was also well maintained and clean. The location was really good, great for Carsington Water and Ashbourne. We would highly recommend this site.

Thank you very much, John, much appreciated. We would highly recommend you both as guests!

Cracking site

We enjoyed staying here. A small friendly site. You can get a bus from just outside the site to Ashbourne, Belper and Derby. The site is small and quiet. I suggest contacting the site directly for any information you require.

Many thanks for your visit and review. It was lovely to meet you both.

Two nights stay

The site is as we expected, the owners were nice and helpful and the views were good. But it rained most of the time. We will return to the site some day, so yes would recommend.

Thank you, Stuart. It was the wettest weekend of the year so far! Hope to see you again in drier times!

Stay at Poplars Farm Site

The site is absolutely wonderful, the views are stunning and you notice them as soon as you pull onto the site. We are looking forward to our next visit to this site very soon.

Lovely and restful

Nice little campsite, could do with a bit of a makeover in the toilets, but this isn't a negative and we will be back. The shower is great. It's a bit windy but would you expect it with it being high up there, the views are lovely. Not too far from Carsington water. The owners are helpful and cheerful. Don't believe the sat nav, it told us we were there and then we went and missed it, but there's a big pub car park to turn around in just up the road.

Thank you for your visit. Lovely to meet you; hope you both enjoy your new camping hobby. We have replaced the shower cubicle and shower and the flooring and one toilet in the facilities block. We’re on a rolling programme - taps and one of the washbasins next as funds allow. Look forwards to seeing you again.

A great find!

Lovely, small site which offers views, ample facilities, peace and quiet and a location in which to explore from. Owners are very helpful. I would describe it as a place to escape…..just load the van up and enjoy the peace.

Thanks, Claire. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. The thunderstorms on Saturday night broke the peace a little!

Fantastic site

Lovely quiet site. Owners very friendly. Facilities clean. Great views over fields. Our dog loved running around the meadow.

Thank you, Ruth. Very pleased you had an enjoyable stay. The wild flower meadows are at their best in May and June.

Beautiful site

Myself, daughter and son in law, along with our 2 spaniels, stayed at this very beautiful sight for 3 nights. The pitch size for my caravan and awning was more than enough and the owners were so lovely and friendly, (and their gorgeous friendly spaniels too🐶🐶) Would highly recommend and is excellent value.

Site's response

Thank you very much for your review and your visit. The weather wasn’t quite what was forecast! Lovely to meet you and your two spaniels.

Perfect stay

Beautiful site with the most amazing pod. The pod was spotless with all the accessories we needed. The one thing we liked the most was that each pod had its own shower and toilet room. A bbq and fire pit was provided. 3 pubs in walking distance from the pod and a great location close to Carsington Waters. The owner greeted us at the site and was very pleasant. I would definitely book again and recommend to family and friends.

Thank you very much, Nikki. So glad you enjoyed your time here. Grateful for the review, too.

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.
