Woodside Farm
What a little gem.
Excellent location for visiting Bakewell,Ashbourne,Buxton and the surrounding areas. All the pitches had ehu and water and the hardstanding where level.
Susan was very welcoming and helpful .
We will be back soon.
Thanks

A proper CL
Woodside Farm
We stopped here while breaking a journey to France. It also had added advantage of being close to our son who lives in Ashbourne.
The site is quiet and well maintained. Mrs White ( who took over the site a couple of years ago) is very welcoming. The facilities are what you would expect from a CL( not the modern thing of fully serviced and toilet and shower block). So if you want peace and quiet and access to the Peak District this is the site for you.
Little Gem
Woodside Farm
We had planned a longish trip to Scotland before the virus started ramping up so we changed our minds to use hotels. This changed again when a certain Scots lady started to lock down Scotland.
My wife and daughter had stayed at Woodside Farm some weeks ago and raved about the place so a quick call and off we went.
There are 5 pitches, No 3 is the choice one as the tap is right by the pitch so you can have a direct water supply. The grass was getting a bit long but not a problem and the site was kept neat and tidy. A credit to Mr Mrs Billings who were always busy in the farm even though she is awaiting a new arrival in November. Just in time for lambing.
No need to repeat all that has been said about the concrete works, its there, its has no effect on the site save for a few, and l mean few lorries driving past Monday to Friday.
Loads to see and do in the area but we stayed local, been there, seen it, done it. Well apart from Wirksworth. The local preserved railway is well worth a visit and they are hosting a GWR tank engine from October.
Great site, great people.

Back again :)
Woodside Farm
We’ve returned again to this charming little cl and in these strange COVID times found a small piece of normality. The site is peaceful and convenient to Ashbourne and Carsington water . Further afield is Matlock, Rowsley and Bakewell.There is a Sainsbury’s supermarket in Ashbourne and the CAMC Carsington site is nearby for replacement gas canisters. I like this site for its simplicity. There are 2 hardstanding pitches , 3 grass and taps between each 2 pitches, 16 amp hookup, easy access from the road and fresh eggs available . There is information available by the gate and if you require more information the site owners John and Rose are very helpful. We will definitely return again.( If you look on google earth there is a cement works nearby but it really doesn’t impact on your stay as the lorries go the other way and there is no noise pollution from them.)

Lovely little site
Woodside Farm
We have just returned home from a long weekend at this site. It’s very well maintained and the owner Mr Billings is friendly and helpful. We found the pitches were well spaced out with a pleasant outlook. Although there is a nearby cement works we didn’t find the noise too intrusive and was actually helpful as we followed the cement work signs to get to the CL. The site is conveniently situated for Carsington waters and Ashbourne, If you drive a little further you can explore Bakewell, Chatsworth and Matlock. We had an excellent time despite the weather and can’t wait too visit again.
