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.

10/10 - lovely place to stay

Great place to stay, peaceful and good location. Lovely views of surrounding country side, highly recommended.

Site's response

Thanks Paul. Lovely to meet you. It was great weather for your trips out and about.

Amazing place

Haven't relaxed so much in years. Views were amazing and the hosts are lovely.

Site's response

Thank you for your visit and review. Lovely to meet you both - the weather certainly helped!

What an excellent site!

We were greeted on arrival with a friendly smile and full information on everything we needed to know, plus guidance on local walking routes away from main roads etc. The site itself is beautifully quiet and the plots are well spaced. The outlook from our plot was facing west across a beautiful wild flower meadow and blessed with great weather. It was our pleasure to watch the sun set on the horizon. The facilities are great: clean and fully functional; excellent shower and plenty of hot water. Facilities for recycling, waste disposal etc were great. The site welcomes dogs but not children which we were delighted with (being past the child-focused age!). The site is well located for visiting Ashbourne, Derby and the Peak District generally; there are three excellent foody pubs (Black Horse, the Tiger, the Nag's Head) all within very easy reach and all serving great food at reasonable prices.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your visit and your detailed review. Hope to see you again when you are in the area - bring that sunny weather again!

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.

Great little site

Small peaceful site, with friendly owners and good clean facilities. Hope to return!

Site's response

Thank you, Cathie. Hope to see you again.

Thank you very much; lovely to meet you both.

Excellent!

A brilliant stay! We stayed in the camping pods, which provided with everything you need - TV, heater, mini fridge, microwave, kettle and the rest! Nice comfy built in bed and plenty of hooks for hanging clothing up. There was a BBQ and firepit provided with wood for sitting by the fire and the facilities were clean and kept on top of. Lovely owners too with plenty of land to run the dogs on. Will definitely be returning.

Thank you very much, Sophie. It's great that you have taken the time to leave a review and so pleased you enjoyed your stay - most of the weather for your stay was below freezing but at least dry. It would be lovely to see you and the dogs again.

Hazel pod

Peaceful getaway for New Year's. Lovely location, friendly hosts and a clean and tidy pod. Would recommend and will probably return during warmer months!

2 night stay near Carsington Water

Lovely well marked pitches. Easy to find. Very friendly owners. Clean modern showers.

Thank you for your visit and review. Lovely to meet you both.

Peaceful stay

Solo traveler. Had a fantastic stay. Very quite and peaceful, facilities were great. The views were stunning, especially at night while using the fire pit (included with the pod).Sara was very welcoming and informative about the area. Great value for money, would definitely recommend staying.

Site's response

Thank you very much for your stay and taking the time to do a review. So glad you appreciated the views and sitting by the fire pit.

Warm welcome

A lovely find and reluctant to say how good it is, as it is only small but perfect for touring around, cycling to Ashbourne and walking at Carsington Water. We will be back, if it isn’t already all booked up!!
