Trailer Tent - Hardstanding and Grass Super PitchesApr 2026

Our first time at Hartington Hills and we were really pleased with our choice. The views on site were amazing. Fabulous sunsets. The site itself was beautifully kept, spotlessly clean. A great little shop, handy for basics (and ice cream). They also opened a coffee hut which was a nice addition. We stayed an extra night as enjoyed it so much. The welcome pack was really helpful as we were visiting to cycle the Tissington Trail. The pack also recommended other routes which were a bonus as we may not have discovered them on our own. We had a very good evening meal at the pub down the hill a short walk away. We will definitely stay again in the future.

A wonderful stay

VW-Type Campervan - Hardstanding and Grass Super PitchesApr 2026

Our stay at Hartington Hills has been nothing short of amazing from start to finish. We received a lovely warm welcome from Amy, which was a great start to our holiday. The thought and care that the owners have put into creating the site far outstrips any other site we've been to - from the immaculate toilets, showers and washing up area to the beautiful planters, rockery areas and lawns. The atmosphere is one of peace and tranquillity, and the views from the site beautiful. The staff were on hand to answer any questions and sort out any problems promptly. We are definitely booking again later in the year!
