ORIGINAL REVIEW IN SEPT 2015
It’s difficult to add too much to all the previous positive reviews for this gloriously laid back site.
An article in MMM in March 2012 had been retained due to the great review and the closeness of the Tissington & High Peak Trails plus the dales of Biggin, Wolfscote & Beresford.
We stayed 5 nights in September 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Richard & accompanying hounds were on hand to ensure that we were OK. We caught a batch of showery weather and, as the site is all grass, we were a bit concerned about tracking a 3.5T motorhome across the pristine grass. We did leave muddy grooves when we departed! So a site to be aware of the underlying ground conditions as it was quite squidgy after a few days of heavy rain.
Hartington was just over a mile away with a newsagent, general store, two pubs & a café. The Waterloo Inn at Biggin was also a short distance away via. a footpath across fileds.
Whilst we were there, the Hartington Show was in action so we stopped for a while to see a traditional country fair with sheep & cattle competitions with the blood hounds that we had seen enroute along with some “duck bothering” [which was a version of sheep dog trialing!]. There was also a beer tent which was selling the local brew.
This is a site that we will return to when we can guarantee some fine weather [if that is possible!] as is superbly located for walking & biking.
UPDATE - as explained this superb site has lost all it's reviews in the recent website "upgrade"!!
So we have reposted our original review when the site was just grass. We returned over Xmas 2016/New Year 2017 and, with all pitches being hardstanding, the site is even better!
