Bank House Farm Reviews

Fantastic site

This is a fantastic site to stay on. Pitch sizes are a little bit tight, but would not prevent us from recommending or returning.

Thanks for your review Jo. Pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back at some point. Kind regards, Wayne and the team.

Okay

Camp is in a lovely setting. Great for kids and handy for the Manifold trail. Ideal for a flat cycle.

Many thanks for your review Chris, We look forward to welcoming you back at some point. Regards, Wayne and the Team.

Lovely site and lovely people

This was my first solo trip in my new van, and I was very nervous. The reception and warden were both friendly and welcoming but more than that, the warden came with me to get my van filled with water and set up, he found me a tap connection I hadn't realised I would need. When I was experiencing problems with gas, he and another camper came and helped me establish that it was a fault and it meant it needed to go back to the dealer. The site itself is immaculate and well laid out, it is quiet and well sited. I was particularly impressed with the enormous dog exercise field which meant that my working cocker could run to his heart's content safely. Across the road from the site is an excellent traditional pub with very good food. It's also good for walkers wanting to go to Thor's Cave or use the Manifold trail. A great site for dog lovers and those into peace and quiet.

Hi Susan, many thanks for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to help you out and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind regards, Wayne and the Team.

Great Campsite (and Pub!)

A superb campsite! Great, clean and modern facilities with access to some beautiful walks straight from the site. An added bonus is having the Manifold Inn Pub in such close proximity, great beer, great food and really friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Many thanks for your review, Robert. It was a great opening weekend and we hope to see you again sometime. Kind regards, Wayne & Team

Fabulous!

This was our first adventure with a camper van and Bank House Farm was the ideal place. Wayne was super helpful every step of the way. Toilets and shower block were modern, clean and warm! Hot water always available for washing pots. Well lit at night without being intrusive. A lovely calm atmosphere and a beautiful river. We will certainly recommend to friends and family. Thank you!

First timers

Lovely location next to the river. Very clean toilets and shower block. Pub straight over the road with nice beers and food, what more could you ask for.

September weekend

Excellent site with great facilities - exceptionally clean showers and toilets and very helpful and friendly staff.

Fantasic site with amazing views!

We had an amazing 3 night stay. The place was so relaxing, the staff super friendly and helpful and the bathrooms were very clean and modern.

Beautiful place

What a fantastic site this is. We have just returned from a wonderful few days spent with friendly people in a truly beautiful setting. Many thanks Wayne and all your team, we will be back.

September break

Great campsite in the Peaks. Lots of walks, Manifold trail nearby. On site shop useful. Pub across the road, the Manifold Inn. 1 3/4 miles from lovely village of Hartington. Only downside is that facilities were up a set of steps (ok for fit and able bodied individuals). Would go back.

Terraced on a hill

Lovely campsite in terraces on a hill on a farm.

Best campsite we’ve stayed at

Lovely campsite, with great amenities and in a perfect location for surrounding walks we wanted to do. Also bonus points for the pub being across the road with a lovely beer garden and food.

Lovely site

Lovely, clean and well kept site. Ideal location next to the river. Opposite the Manifold Inn and a bus stop right outside the campsite. Went on the bus to Hartington and also you can travel to Buxton or Ashbourne.

Great location and nice facilities

Very good facilities for a campsite, however, shower drains overflowed on the last day. Friendly staff, good location and a pub within walking distance. The shop had useful food and supplies.

Peaceful

Peaceful weekend and fantastic weather. The pub opposite is great for food.

Lovely site

We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay. We had a hard standing pitch next to the river with room for an awning to pitch on the side grass. The site overall was clean and tidy and the toilets/shower blocks are modern and kept clean to a good standard. There is a shop onsite for any essentials you might have forgotten. You can rent a firepit for £10 with a £20 SD plus purchase for the wood. They also had food vans both nights, fish and chips Friday and pizza oven on the Saturday. Location was great, we walked the Hartington circular walk with the dog, the only bit we didn't like was walking on the main road for a bit but it was quiet when we went out. Overall, a lovely stay and would go back and recommend.

Lovely location

Great base for visiting beautiful surrounding areas. Great amenities available. Close proximity to pub, which was handy.

Really enjoyed our stay!

Me and my husband just returned from our weekend here and we had a lovely time! We arrived late on Friday due traffic/bad accidents. We did try and ring but we got no answer, but checking in was okay when we got there. We were on the field that was just next to the campsite. It was big, flat and plenty of space for people, it was a bit of a walk to the toilet as that's next to reception and the Wi-Fi didn't stretch to that field (something I think should be mentioned, as we booked this campsite for the Wi-fi) but that wasn't a problem. There is a lovely pub right next to it that had good internet and did some amazing dinner/breakfast would really recommended. We spoke to the owner on our last day and he was so lovely, really talkative and you could how much he enjoyed running the campsite. The only downside we had was there was a 10pm - 8am noise curfew and it seemed a lot of people on that field didn't respect it. There was music, people talking loudly at around 11pm, which was quite unfair considering there was a lot of kids there; me and my husband don't go to bed early but the music kept us up for a long time. This isn't the owners fault, that's just camping and being near other people, so next time we come back, we will choose to stay in the closer field. Also it seems that the campsite is in the path of air traffic as quite a few airplanes would fly over quite a bit, so this might bother you if you're a light sleeper. The second field is also next to the main road, so you get woken up to tractors and cars driving past - again, none of this is the campsite's fault. All the toilets were clean, the washing up/water facilities were clean and good and the shop is fairly priced. The location is good if you want to adventure around the Peak District, the Dragons Back/Chrome Hill are about 10 minute drive away, Mam Tour is about 20 minutes away, Thor's Cave is close by, Bakewell is also close by, it's a good location if you can drive. Overall would love to stay again we had a pleasant and comfortable stay!

Camping by a pub

Had a lovely 2 night stay here. Location is great and being next to a pub was a massive plus. The food there was lovely and reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

Absolutely 1st class campsite

Absolutely 1st class campsite with so much pitch variation, from riverside, hill top, meadows, all centred around an excellently laid out amenities block with a small shop. The vanners looked very happy in the central hardstanding area, and the posh campers seemed to be loving the electric hook-up pitches. Water is very available at all corners of the site, grass is just right, green and lush but not too long. Right across the road from a fantastic pub for beer and food, dogs and kids are welcome. Amazing views, pleasant local short walks, and a great centre for cycling, walking, just being out in the country, or visiting the fabulous villages and attractions of The White Peak. Easy access from M6, A50, M1, A52 and A515 Ashbourne to Buxton roads. Really hospitable hosts and despite being a large busy campsite, we never felt crowded out.

Lovely site, definitely recommend it

Brilliant site, loved it. Very dog friendly and a great location to stay.

Lovely short stay

Lovely location with great facilities.

Lovely site

Lovely well kept site with ample modern and very clean facilities. Once our booking had been changed to the main hardstanding area (my mistake), we had a very relaxed stay with no loud music etc. Dogs enjoyed the freedom (on long leads) of the large grass field, with many bins around the site emptied regularly. We will be back at some point in the future.

Fantastic campsite

Fantastic campsite, great location and with spotless facilities. Manifold Inn just opposite which does great food and a great little shop on site for basics, will definitely be back.

Great place to stay!

We had a lovely spot to pitch along the river, called 'River Bend', which meant we could admire the mayflies dancing in the evening light, and in the night, we heard the squeak of an otter as it passed by. The site offers the opportunity to hire out a firepit along with wood and kindling, which we jumped at and had fun (eventually!) managing to get a fire blazing. We really enjoyed having a peaceful evening reading next to the fire, and the washing area and showers and toilets were to a high standard. It was also really appreciated that the taps to get drinking water from were regularly spaced around the campsite, so it was easy to fill up heavy water storage containers without having to lug them too far. The owners were helpful too, we'd definitely camp here again!
