Bank House Farm Reviews

Our visit

Very near the Manifold Trail site, which is a great 2 hour walk. Pub opposite the site was busy but friendly with a good menu choice. Wi-Fi was in and out on our trip, but not a major inconvenience for us. We were on top field, no issues for us but could be if someone had mobility issues. Camp shop had a reasonable selection of basic items. WC and shower block spotless. Likewise the washing up laundry area. Excellent location, with great views over the countryside.

Hi Andrew, thanks for your review. Good to hear you had a great time walking the manifold trail, it's a great route with lots to look at and some interesting history. Sorry our Wi-Fi wasn't great, it's an intermittent thing when the site gets busy and lots of people are on it. Kind regards, Wayne.

Good stay

Very nice stay. Friendly staff. Great location for the pub over the road and nice walks into the countryside. Lots of quality facilities on hand.

1000000% recommend

Myself and my partner went for 2 nights and had the most amazing stay. 100% I will be returning and will be recommending to others. We loved the nearby pub, the facilities were all spotless, the shop was very well stocked, they thought of everything. They even have fridges and freezers for campers to use. The only slight downside was that we were camped in the top field and there was no drinking water tap. However, it was only a short walk down the hill to the washing up area. Also, the noise from the road, again not a massive issue but I'm a light sleeper. Also would have loved there to be more camping spots down by the river but they appeared to be hardstanding. Again, absolutely brilliant stay, and I've already recommended it to family.

Hi Emma, thanks for your lovely review, we have 3 water points on top field, I'm sorry you weren't made aware of them, I'll put better signage up. You can request a pitch in the inner circle by reception next time if you prefer being down near the River. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind regards Wayne.

Lovely site in a great location, we will be back

Beautiful site. Clean, great location and would highly recommend.

Great campsite

We stayed at Bank House Farm for the first time this summer. My children loved exploring the wild surroundings and were kept entertained by the on-site play field with plenty of space to run around and enjoy. The facilities were clean and adequately equipped with everything needed. Would definitely recommend the site for couples/families looking for a scenic getaway with the bonus of a local pub being less than 50 yards away.

Hi Giles, thanks for your review. Great to read that you and the kids enjoyed the great outdoors space we have at the campsite, the pub is certainly an added bonus. Look forward to welcoming you back at some point. Kind regards, Wayne.

Beautiful campsite!

Absolutely loved every part of the campsite, it exceeded all expectations and more! We will definitely be coming back, and bringing our daughter. The only downfall was the shower, but that was minor.

Well run campsite in a lovely location

We much enjoyed our stay at Bank House Farm campsite. Very well-run site. Nice, clean facilities, friendly staff, beautiful location by the river, easy to find. And as a plus, a man with a mobile pizza van on a Thursday and a Saturday - get your orders in early as he is very popular!

Many thanks for your informative review Lucy, we appreciate your kind words, many thanks Wayne and the Team.

Fantastic week

We had a fantastic week camping at Bank House Farm. The onsite facilities are fabulous, especially the clean, warm shower/toilet block! The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Tent pitches are very spacious but I would recommend asking for a flat pitch as some of them are on slopes which can make it uncomfortable to sleep or to place tents. The site is wonderful for children to be able to roam freely and has a great games field, equipped with football nets for children to go and play and make friends.

Fantastic

Amazing clean and well-kept camping site. The views from the top field are amazing with a very clean camp. There is a shop on site that is not overly expensive and definitely has got what you need. The staff are warm and welcoming! There is a pub across the road and the food is fantastic - definitely recommend.

Many thanks Richard for reviewing us, pleased to read you had a great time, kind regards Wayne and the Team.

Perfect View

Such a lovely campsite. I really like that the tents can be separate from the caravans. Such lovely views and close proximity to many Peak area activities. Lovely place for people with dogs as well! We even enjoyed the plump of ducks which came through every evening! Thanks for a fab week!

Thanks for your review David, see you again sometime. Kind regards, Wayne & Team.

Lovely country site

A lovely site by the river on a flat surface for motorhomes, with full facilities electric water and waste and a pub/restaurant across the road. There were a lot of walks and places to visit to close by. Hartington is a lovely little village with a couple of pubs there also. The site is on the river and is ideal for children paddling as it is not very deep. There is a good dog walking field too.

Thanks for your lovely review Gail.

Beautiful location, very clean and well maintained

We stayed here for 7 nights. The facilities are very clean and well maintained. Friendly, helpful staff and a handy little shop! The site is perfect for families, as long as you're staying in the fields on the same side as the main reception. There are pitches on the other side of the road. I'd hate to try and cross the road with small children as it's quite busy and there are no footpaths. We had electric and stayed in the top field. Our pitch was directly alongside the road which meant we had a fair bit of traffic noise. This didn't bother us, but if you think it would bother you then request a pitch as far away from the road as possible. Would recommend and would stay here again.

Many thanks for your great review, we are pleased to read you enjoyed your time, just so you know when people book they do know where the Meadow field is so its there choice to camp over there and walk back over to use the facilities, lots of campers love the freestyle feel over there, kind regards Wayne & Team.

Pitch 23

We rented a fully serviced garden pitch for 8 nights, as we have 2 dogs, but arrived to find we had no garden, it was just hardstanding. This was quite disappointing as we had paid the extra, but didn't moan as we are not like that. The site is nice and clean with decent facilities and until the 2nd/3rd August, didn't feel overcrowded. When it did get busy, you noticed people disrespecting the site like dog mess, litter and dirty toilets/showers, which is a shame because it is a great campsite. We would definitely like to come back next year and hopefully, we can have a garden this time for our dogs to sit.

Site's response

Hi Michelle, Many thanks for your review, pitch 23 does have a garden grass area but this is not enclosed, something we are doing in September so you are enclosed. The Campsite does get busy in the Summer Holidays with families all enjoying the campsite, we are on the go all the time trying to keep our Campsite as clean and tidy as we possible can but sometimes guests don't treat the facilities with the respect they deserve and keep them as they found them. We look forward to welcoming you back next year, kind regards Wayne & the Team.

Thanks for your review Bernard.

Lovely site

Bank House Farm is a great site which we will definitely visit again. Staff were welcoming and helpful on arrival and the pitches were well maintained. The toilet and shower facilities were spotless at all times. The visiting pizza van on Saturday night was a lovely addition to our stay.

Many thanks Peter for your review.

I didn't want to leave!

My husband and I chose a garden pitch at Bank House Farm and it could not have been more perfect! We were able to peg the dogs safely and securely with their own space and we had the privacy of our own little back garden! It was a delight. There is also a wonderful dog exercise field, and the humans were well looked after too! With a fantastic pub on the doorstep and a shop well stocked with goodies, we didn't want for anything. The views were spectacular on approach and within five minutes of arriving I announced I didn't plan on leaving! Well done to the top team for making it the highlight of our holiday.

Hello both, thank you for your lovely review. We all work extremely hard to try and make everyone's stay as memorable as possible. We look forward to welcoming you back at some point. Kind regards, Wayne and the team.

Excellent site, will definitely return!

We ended up at this campsite because our other one was unfortunately cancelled - we are so glad we had to make the change! What a fantastic site. The facilities are excellent, really clean and well maintained. They had everything you could possibly need. The shop is well stocked. The wardens were really friendly and helpful. The pub across the road is nice. The walk into Hartington is lovely and we had a great meal at the Devonshire Arms. We will definitely return.

Perfect getaway

Bank House Farm is a perfect spot for relaxation. Such a quiet and well thought out site, it's a peaceful haven with a pub at the end of the driveway. Plenty to do in the area too. Friendly wardens and a convenient dog field and plenty of space for children to play. We will be revisiting this gem.

Many thanks for you lovely review Avril, so pleased you had a fab time. Will look forward to welcoming you back at some point, kind regards, Wayne & Team.

Great site

Lovely park with great facilities. Pizza on the Friday was amazing. Good location for hiking to Thor's Cave. Only small thing was they ran out of soap on the Sunday morning and wasn't refilled before we left at 12. Definitely would go back!

Many thanks Anita for your review.

Great stay

Great place to camp at, toilets and showers extremely clean. Fridge and freezer on site for campers use, pot washing area very good. The only down side for me (because of a bad knee, so not the campsite's fault) was the very steep hill you have to climb when you walk back to your tent in the top field after every visit to the facilities. Some steps back to the field would have been nice. Food at the pub across the road was first class, we will recommend this place highly.
