We have just stayed 3 nights on this lovely , well kept quiet CL with super footpaths all around it . Our dog loved the well kept fully fenced dog paddock and has now been sulking since we came home today . Lorraine and Tony were lovely friendly hosts and we will certainly be back as we only live 14 miles away . There are lots of great places to visit locally .
Just want to say a big thankyou to Lorraine and Tony, who made us feel very welcome. The site has good access, so dont be put off by the little lane in, we are a 8m motorhome and it was a breeze, but please be respectful of the farm animals, as they will come right up to you, which was lovely. Do follow Lorraines instructions because if you come in from the wrong direction you wont get under the bridge, unless you are low and car size. No road noise, just birds, and a nice view at the end of the site. We stayed for 9 nights and didnt want to leave. The walks within 1 hours drive are varied and vast, pretty villages and places to see, keeps bringing us back to the Ashbourne area. Good chip shop - Queens in Ashbourne, but beware portions are huge. Your pitch fee has some electric hook up built in and despite running a big fridge freezer, hot water, lights etc we didnt need to pay any extra. In colder months, you may run up a small fee, but the pitch price is really reasonable for what you get so, I would be happy to pay this and I feel this is a very fair system. We would love to come back to this site as its ticks all of our requirements.
Thank you again, from Beagles on wheels and the camping cat.
We visited this beautiful fully-serviced site in June 2024 for the second time this year.
We can highly recommend the site with friendly hosts,a peaceful setting ,loads to do in the Peak District and a great enclosed paddock for the dogs to run free.
We will certainly visit again soon !
An excellent CL site

We had a welcome from Tony and Lorraine upon arrival who made sure we were settled in and aware of the metered electric. Each pitch has its own tap and grey water disposal on a hard standing.
The added benefit of the Gables was the enclosed dog paddock where our greyhound was able to trot around.
Lorraine provided details of local information should we have required places to visit . We made a visit to Tissington to see the Well Dressings , recommend at the correct time of year.
This is certainly a CL that we would visit again as we had an enjoyable stay.

We spent 3 nights on this fully serviced, hard standing CL site. The hosts were excellent, providing clear directions beforehand by email and a list of local amenities. They were also extremely helpful when we got a flat tyre with recommendations for local garages. The site is well located for Ashbourne and local cycling routes. Highly recommended and will be visiting again.
We have just spent 6 nights on this fully serviced, hard standing pitch. Excellent site beautifully kept . Lovely welcome from Lorraine, supplied us , on line, all the information about the area, places to go, bike trails, walking trails, shopping etc. Lovely fish and chips from Queens , dont buy too much large portions.
What a warm welcome by Tony and Lorraine. An immaculately kept site, beautiful views and so peaceful.
We have used a lot of CL sites but this is now one of our favourites. Our dog absolutely loved the dog walking field and the facilities are far superior to a lot of CAMC sites. We cannot recommend this site enough and will be back with friends
We have visited many CL sites over the years and The Gables is one of the very best. Tony &Lorraine are very friendly and welcoming but never intrusive. Our dog loved the enclosed dog field, and like us didn’t want to leave! Close to lots of lovely villages and interesting places, nice pub - shoulder of mutton nearby, plus fish & chip shop. Spacious pitches each with water supply & grey water disposal, site is so obviously well cared for and maintained. We will definitely be visiting again!
Just returned home from staying 7 nights here for the first time, we cannot recommend this place enough. It’s a beautiful, well thought out site, very peaceful, an amazing fenced area for the dogs and the owners Tony and Lorraine were so very welcoming and friendly. Set in a beautiful part of the country. A short drive into Ashbourne where there are plenty of shops/supermarkets. Lots to do close by but yet feels like your a million miles away from anything. Super detailed email from Lorraine recommending places to go …. restaurants/cafes/shops etc we will most definitely return and can highly recommend. Fabulous.
What can I say, probably the best CL we've been to. All five pitches have hard standing, EHU, water and grey waste. Setting is idyllic with lovely views. Access is good from the main road and owners Tony and Lorraine are very welcoming and friendly. Plenty to see and do in the local area, good dog walks and a great, secure dog walking area on the site. Don't miss this gem of a site, we will definitely be returning.
