We are so lucky to have this site only 40 minutes from us and have become regular visitors. The wardens are the loveliest people who devote so much time and effort making this site so great, the hanging baskets are beautiful and the plant pot people are a nice touch. I struggle to understand why people have issues with the road noise it's nothing more than you might experience at home , unless you live in the middle of a field , yes there are trucks up and down but that's the nature of the area with its limestone quarries.Go up to the top of the site  away from the road but then some will moan about noise from children as the playground is at the top.Maybe the middle of a field is best for some folk.  We have been to this site at least four times now and never heard the wardens dog barking , unless the office is closed and you ring the bell then he let's his mum and dad know someone wants them. As for the woodchopping it's a sound thats part of being in the countryside and let's you know your still alive and kicking. Is it really something to moan about? The facilities are modern warm inviting and spotlessly clean. If there was a "Site Of The Year " award this site would get our nomination.  There are a couple of good pubs close by and good walks around the reservoir. The market town of Leek is a short drive away with everything you could possibly need.
