Good New CL with a View
We stayed at this newish CL over the August BH. Firstly booking easy, all via email with great prompt replies. The route to the site from Ashbourne is easy, no narrow lanes and there are site signs at the bottom of the lane. The entrance is through 2 wide gates past the farmhouse. The site slopes slightly and we had to use a ramp to level the caravan but other pitches seemed ok.
All pitches are narrow hardstanding, just wide enough for caravan or MH. Awnings are pitched on the grass. There is plenty of space between pitches. Each EHU also has a double tap, so almost service pitches. There are also 2 toilets on site. The views over the Staffordshire Moorlands are lovely, as it's on a hill. It could however be a bit exposed in windy weather. There is a large quarry next door but as it was BH it was quiet, may be some noise during the week.
There is a fab little dog friendly pub a few minutes walk from the site The Yew Tree Inn, it's full to the rafters with collectables and antiques. The beer and food were good too.😉 Ilam Hall and Dovedale are a short drive away and make a lovely day out. The Monsal Track for cycling is only about a mile away, just the other side of the village.
The owners do have a couple of dogs, one of which is chained up outside the house, and it does bark when anyone walks past, which we warned about on arrival, but it still made us jump the first time we went out on foot.
We had good phone &4G signals with ee, good tv reception too.
We enjoyed our stay and hope to revisit in the future.
