Lovely, peaceful weekend

Visited 27-29th Nov and had a lovely weekend. This site is quiet with friendly owners and excellent views. An excellent introduction to caravanning for our new puppy. we will be back when he can walk a little longer.

Very nice CL in a convenient spot for walking

This CL is very well kept and laid out with 3 x hardstandings and 2 grass pitches. we had pitch 1 (grass) which did require some levelling, but wood blocks were provided that were sufficient for the job. The water and waste disposal points were of a good standard and the toilet was always very clean and toilet paper and hand soap were provided. The owner operates an envelope system for payment, which made paying very easy. Access following the site instructions is easy enough, although with a long unit the final turn into/out of the field requires care and a twin axle might need to reverse in the drive to get in (as suggested in a review below), but I got a 7.2m single axle in and out by the skin of its teeth by taking the turns as wide as possible. The site has footpath access directly down into Lathkill Dale with the possibility of several nice circuit walks without using the car and Bakewell is just a 10 minute drive from the site. This a nice CL in a great location for walking and I would definitely visit again.

Peaceful and great location

We stayed for two nights - 6/7 July 2017. The site was easily accessed and instructions were left on the gated entrance to the site. We chose our pitch and settled in to enjoy the views and the peace and quiet. The grass had been newly cut and but cleared away so we didn't tread cuttings into our van. The pitch was level and very spacious. There was a toilet for public use and all other amenities on site were there for our use. We did not have any contact with the site owners but that was okay - we left our money in an honesty envelope. We visited Bakewell and Chatsworth House during our visit and there are plenty of other attractions nearby. We loved the site for its peace and quiet. We would recommend this site and will return again.

Bang in the middle of a top walking area...

Lovely site with views, some levelling required. Grass kept short with well kept loo. Footpath leads down into Lathkill Dale, for a fabulous walk. Chatsworth House Farm Shop is a must if you appreciate wonderful food. Got ticked off for arriving early, and you do need your reversing skills to access the CL. Would I go again? Yes.

Gorgeous

As soon as we arrived we were made to feel welcome. We really enjoyed our short stay here, sometimes taking walks directly from the site, sometimes driving to walk elsewhere in the area. We did have good weather and we were able to make the most of it. Our only regret was having to leave. An gorgeous place to stay.

Lovely peaceful site

We have been coming to millfarm for many years .so thought it was time to write a review.it is one of the most beautiful and peaceful sites that we know of.Ian and Jane the owners are really nice and friendly nothing is to much trouble for them the views are amazing as is the area. The site is immaculate you could not wish for a better CDP and Wast water point .the toilet is always very clean the area is brilliant for walking and there are numerous cycle trails If you want to go shopping Bakewell and Buxton Are nearby.TheBullshead pub at Monyash does amazing meals could not wish for a better site .The only negative about Millfarm is that you have to leave it.

Peace and quiet

This is a lovely site and so peaceful. We like to cycle and the owners are very friendly and tell you the best way to go so as to avoid the steepest hill. We will most certainly be returning to this site. People in other vans were very welcoming and gave lots of useful information.

Great site

We stayed at mill farm for a weekend, unfortunately we were the last van to arrive and got the pitch right next to the telegraph pole, as previous people have said the access is tight with a big unit but the area more than makes up for this, it is a great base for touring around the Peak District & you can walk directly out of the back of the site down onto lathkill dale & into Monyash, the Bulls head does fantastic meals & there is a great cafe next door as well, will definitely be returning

Enjoyed our visit- careful with the entrance

This was our first stay in Derbyshire which we enjoyed; the scenery reminding us of the Cotswolds in a different colour! As others have noted, check your route approaching though I'm always surprised how well A 100Hp Vectra estate towing 1200 kg tackles 1 in 6 hills! Regarding the entrance, the trick with a longer unit is 1) pull past the entrance 2) reverse into the field on the opposite side of the drive and then 3)drive onto the site. Leaving is a simple case of reversing these instructions. The site was well kept and the toilet was clean and adequate if not salubrious! Our pitch (5) was level though it might be problematic if you wanted to fit an awning.

Worth a return

This was our first visit to Mill Farm but will definitely return. Follow the directions on the website and you will find the site with ease. On arrival we was greeted by the owner who showed us the facilities and explained about accessing the field with larger units. Use the space available as its tight driving in and out. The site has amazing views and is very peaceful. It is well maintained and the facilities are a good standard. Plenty of places to walk your dog or to walk further afield if you wish. We only live 50 min away and will visit again. I bet it's lovely on a frosty morning.
