Farditch Farm Caravan Park Reviews

Lovely little site, will use again

Located between Buxton and Bakewell. This site is ideal for exploring, especially the Monsal Trail and Chatsworth. A clean and tidy site with fully serviced pitches, good facilities too. Also good for dogs, we have 3 who were made welcome 😁

Very good

The stay was really good.

Excellent facilities

Excellent facilities, accessible and perfect for our first visit. Easy to locate, great communication and informative. It was very helpful giving us a jump start when our battery was flat, much appreciated many thanks!

I will definitely return

Lovely views and facilities. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Thank you, looking forward to you visiting us again!

Superb site

Last minute booking but what a find, faultless. It's going to be my go to site whenever I'm in the Peaks, which is frequently.

Thank you, looking forward to welcoming you again!

Lovely campsite

A lovely little campsite in a good location, a short drive away from several options. Really good facilities and all at a great price!

Thank you so much, please visit us again!

Overnight stay

Excellent site and the shower block and kitchen facilities are fantastic, especially after a long cold hike. Clean and well cared for.

Thank you!

Short break

Nice quiet site. Showers etc were okay. Nice lounge bit, dogs not permitted so didn't use it. Quite expensive for this time of year, but that's our thoughts.

Thank you for taking the time to review.

Great stay

The site was well kept and communication was good. We liked the "hands off" approach, the communication from the owners was excellent and there was no need for them to be around on arrival. We enjoyed having a serviced pitch and it felt quite private. The facilities were very good, very clean and not overcrowded. The kitchen and lounge areas were great; we did not use the lounge but other people were happily relaxing there. We did use the kitchen for washing up and again, this area was very clean and thoughtfully set out. Walks straight from the site, so no need to use the car. We will return.

Fabulous, clean, great facilities and good space

Beautiful site with great views. Within 30 mins, there is a large amount of things to do, so we will definitely return to continue with the list. Bathrooms were super clean and up to date, with a lot of space. The kitchen has 2 sinks, a washing machine, a microwave and hobs. Again, very clean and well kept. There was coffee and tea with sachets of milk available to use for when in the lounge. The lounge was a great size, with jigsaws and a TV. Not going to lie, when I walked into the facilities, I felt I was walking into someone's house, so homely and welcoming. Can't wait to come again and will be telling all my friends to use this site!

Thank you so much for the lovely review, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please visit us again soon!

Fantastic facilities, ideal for Bakewell and Buxton

The showers and toilets are great, the use of the kitchen and lounge was an added bonus. I will definitely return again. Thank you, a great site.

Small with extremely clean facilities but too noisy (road)

As a basic tourer and camper site, the washroom facilities are extremely clean and there is even a basic kitchen and lounge room for all to use. But what was not mentioned is that the pitches all back on to a road used by motorbike tours and it is a cut through which vehicles use all night. Even in a motorhome, the noise was loud, even with ear plugs in. The pitches are also under trees, which with wind and peak rain, means that branches and twigs fall on the roof quite regularly, adding to the noise. We cannot fault the facilities, but overall, we wouldn't return due to the proximity to the busy road.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We are not a basic site as we have fantastic facilities, sorry we weren't for you.

Weekend away

Beautiful site, well laid out with great facilities. Bit of road noise but no fault of the site. Easy to get to, will be back.

Fabulous small site

Lovely cosy site for tourers, room for a twin axle and the awning. Quiet, well presented and lovely, clean facilities. Bit of road noise but nothing that bothered us. Great off-lead area for the dogs. Perfectly positioned for Bakewell, Chatsworth, Buxton, Monsal Dale area. Lovely pub in the village - Church Inn - in walking distance of the site with tarmac footpath all the way there. Will definitely be back.

Peaceful stay

We stayed for one night on our first ever adventure in our new camper, just to get to know it a bit! The site is in a lovely and peaceful location, 30 minutes walk to a great pub, The Church Inn in Chelmorton. The toilets and showers are immaculate. We would definitely stay again.

Site's response

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed your first stay in the new camper with us!

Great base

A great stay at Farditch, with lovely views on our pitch (non-electric). There was a lovely sunrise to wake up to. The site was a great base for visiting other places, including Castleton and a hike up Mam tor. Facilities were all clean and the showers were lovely and homely.

4 nights in the Peaks

Great campsite with great facilities. Clean and tidy. Quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much, really pleased you enjoyed your stay and please visit us again.

Great site

This is a lovely site with excellent pitches and fantastic facilities - one of the nicest toilet and shower blocks we have encountered on our travels. Pets are well catered for with an excellent playfield that our dogs loved. Excellent location for trips out to Chatsworth and Bakewell. One major gripe though - and it may be just bad luck - but we had extremely noisy "neighbours" on two of our three night stay who stayed up well past the 11pm silence curfew drinking and laughing (one camper full of males, one of females). This went on until past 01:00 on the first night. Our decision was to cut short our stay on the last night as we couldn't face a third night of partying! There is no onsite supervision and a phone call to sort this out was unanswered. I am sure as stated, this was just bad luck on our part, and prospective campers should not avoid because of my review - just beware that this potentially could happen as there are no on site wardens at night that we were aware of.

Site's response

Thank you for your valuable feedback. Unfortunately, we had some very disrespectful guests who had which is near unheard of on our site. We had been purposely misinformed by these guests as we do not allow large groups of adults or all male/female groups. We have put things in place to prevent these guests from booking again. We are a family site and forbid this type of behaviour, had we have known sooner we would have acted after faster and they would have been asked to leave. We have several means of contacting us in the facilities and will review all aspects of this case to make improvements.

Weekend in the Peaks

Great location to access all areas within the Peak District. Very clean and modern facilities. Nice and quiet.

Site's response

Thank you, please visit us again sometime!

Excellent dog field and facilities

Our first campervan holiday and what a good one. Clean toilets, kitchen stocked with brews and lounge room. The dog field was well kept with fencing and walls. Wooden gate has fencing on it and the grass cut. Dog bin at the gate and around the facility. Definitely going again.

Farditch Farm

A lovely, well kept site with excellent facilities. I would definitely book again but ask to be sited at the end furthest from the road and the traffic noise, though this wasn't a problem at night.

Site's response

Thank you!

Very good facilities

Very good facilities, well organised site. Complete kitchen with free washing machine, microwave, cooker etc. A very comfy lounge if you were in a small campervan. Site is easily found from main road, but look out for the Farditch Farm site sign just as you turn off to Chelmorton. We missed it , but luckily, we could reverse a short distance with our caravan. An ideal location and site for a short stay. No stars given for service as you don't need any or contact owner via email.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. For info, we do send a link to a pin for our exact location.

Great

Great for us, kids missed some play equipment outside but we made our own entertainment. Spotless facilities.
