Pretty, peaceful site
Stayed for 4 nights mid June 2021. Location was easy to find and plenty of pull in room off main road. Check-in was simple and efficient. Site is tiered and there are plenty of pretty areas, planting and other interesting displays to give the site an 'individual' feel. Also loved the information boards/posts around the site sharing the history as a polish refugee camp.
Wrist bands in place for the communal toilets/showers - still amazed at how people cannot fathom how to operate such a simple system.
All pitches are good size, although most need levelling ramps to some degree unless you are right at the front of the site next to the main road. Road noise was not really a nuisance and the evenings/nights were very quiet. The dog walk is through the tree glade and acceptable, although it would have been nice to let the dog off lead but the signed said no.
The Three Horseshoes Country Inn is a short walk outside of the site along the main road. You can also request the bus to stop right outside at the main gate to take you into Leek - be aware that they bus timetables are very sporadic and seem to do their own thing, regardless of the timetable. Despite a return ticket, the return bus was over 2 hours away from the timetabled slot, so we jumped in a taxi (Leek Line) which was £7. H. Meakin Butcher in Leek provided some delicious bacon and steaks - recommended!
A walk to Tittesworth Reservoir is recommended - just turn down the road by the Inn and keep walking until you reach a footpath. About 1.5 miles but beautiful spot. We watched the canoes, kayaks and paddle boarders and then headed to the visitor centre for a spot of lunch.
We look forward to a return visit for further exploring of the area.
