Lovely site and friendly, helpful owners

We took our two young kids to this site in August and had a lovely time! The owners were very helpful and the site was beautiful, well cared for and peaceful. We took the far pitch so as not to disturb people and enjoyed the space of the site without (hopefully!) disturbing people too much. Fantastic access to good walks with lots of different animals to keep kids occupied! Would definitely visit again.

Fantastic CL

This is our second visit to this wonderful CL, in a wonderful location. The owners are extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome and they keep the site immaculate. The walks straight from the site down to Lathkill Dale were great and if you are up for a slightly longer walk, Bakewell is well worth the walk.  Can't wait to visit again. Thanks very much.

Nice site but 2 .....

We are the other couple mentioned in Oakterrace's review. On approaching the site we were coincidently followed in by the owner who then directed us to the (in our opinion) very uneven pitch. When booking we had checked that it would be ok for our son, daughter inlaw and grandson could sleep in the awning for 2 of our 7 night stay. When we commented that the ground was very uneven in places the owner said "oh they will be ok !" . He then left us to get set up. After a good half hour of trying to get level with the aid of 2 of those large yellow plastic ramps and wooden blocks and with a by now smelly clutch I gave up and sited our single axle van about 5 metres in front of the pitch with the aim of moving onto a better pitch next day as we had established with neighbours that they were leaving next morning. I should add that we are regular ralliers and often site in uneven fields and are not just used to "tennis court ground". Late in the day the owner came across and expressed his dissatisfaction but after a discussion he reluctantly agreed we could stay put just for one night as long as we moved next morning. He also added that he had no problems when siting his own caravan on that pitch and his caravan was a big one. We duly moved next morning but when our friends joined us later he said they would have to go on that pitch. This they did and by staying close to us with their small 2 birth were able with effort to get level. During our stay we also spoke to another couple who had been directed to that pitch prior to our arrival and who had refused it. In summary I would say that in my opinion certain outfits can get level on that pitch but if you had a mid to large van and wanted a full awning up then you would struggle to get a "good" setup. We marked the peace and tranquillity down slightly purely because on 3 of our 7 nights there was significant noise and some swearing from the commercial site just up the road. However it did not go on after 12 pm and was of course not the fault of our site owner.

Nice site - but..............

We arrived when the owners were on holiday - pitched and put our waste pipe in hedge - looked round for emptying point - couldn't find it until someone else returned to their caravan and asked them. When owner returned he walked round the site checking everything - which is good apart from the fact that he was more interested in looking round our pitch than talking to us - he told us to remove our waste pipe and put grey water down the emptying point - which we said fine and found no problem with this, we told him that others on the site were doing the same as us - and he said they would be told too!!!!!!!!!!!! - just as a note - no-one else got told this fact and we watched others emptying their water directly into the hedge - which to be fair a lot of sites prefer you to do this - The point is - there are signs telling you NOT to approach house and to ring a mobile number if any problems. Would have been a bit helpful if the sign also told us where the toilet/emptying point was- and to empty grey water into it also. The site is lovely - as can be seen on the photos - but god forbid if you park away from the hedge and not in a straight line! - the pitch beside us was very uneven - and the couple who arrived the day before we left parked a little way down the field - but not far, and it looked fine - but they were asked to move when we left the next day. The site is mainly lawned - which is lovely - but not to be used to pitch on - so I would say that the site size should be stated to be far smaller than it does. On another note - not long after the first incident with the site owner - we walked past him whilst walking our dogs - he was talking to a local farmer - and he blatantly ignored us!! - to be fair, a couple of days before we left - he started to acknowledge us - and when we left - helped us from site (which is very tight at gate to enter and exit - but ok with a bit of manouvering) - and shook our hands and said he hoped he would see us again - unfortunately not

Peaceful retreat

Just spent a long weekend at this site, it's well kept and plenty of space between pitches. Ideally placed for Bakewell, Buxton & Chatsworth House. The Bulls Head in Monyash does great food. Only negative the WC was very basic but will certainly return.

Little Gem

We arrived on Sunday 5th July owners away so we pitched up only one other van on site until the Friday then full. Very well kept site short grass lovely views 10 minuets drive from Bakewell easy to park. Monday market day great selection of stalls. We really enjoyed our stay here and will return if visiting the area again.

Beautiful spot

We have just returned after a half term trip and were delighted with Mill Farm. Beautiful location, stunning views, quiet, immaculate and tidy. Birds tweeting, no light pollution for the night sky and cowpasley; a gem of a place! Handy for sight seeing trips and the Bulls Head in Monyash did great pub food and has super children's playground.

Another fantastic break at this little gem of a site!

October 2014 - half term week. Apologies for delay in leaving review. Had another fantastic few days at your site. Amazing find, our fourth visit. Ideally located to visit all the main Derbyshire sites. Lovely walk down to the Dale below and to the village. Friendly and welcoming owners - cannot understand one of the reviews left with regards to finding different to this(?) Lots of room and beautiful location. We will be back! Thanks again.

Wonderful CL

We have just returned from three nights at this wonderful site.  Peaceful and extremely relaxing.  Excellent walking directly from the site onto the beautiful Lathkill Dale.  We found the owners extremely friendly and they keep the site immaculate.  We will definitely be back.
