Wonderful site
Autumnal Magnificence
This was our second stay at Chatsworth and it didn’t disappoint. We arrived at 1:45, no queuing at all and we were pitched by 2:15, great! The wardens were very friendly and helpful and obviously work very hard to maintain the facilities and appearance of the site. Well done! Our stay this time was made all the more special by the fantastic weather and the autumnal display of colour inside the Chatsworth House Estate. The farm shop is really worth a visit, so too is Bakewell (try the Bakewell pudding - yummy). All in all, a great site and fantastic location
Great Location rename it Jobsworth Park though!
DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY!!! We did 12:30 and was told to go away by an inflexible (female) warden Now I understand rules are there for a reason but some sites are 12:00 and being Caravan Club Sites I would think it 'logical' to have these times standardised so as to avoid this confusion Now that said we were told to go and park up at the Chatsworth House Car Park approx 2 miles away. To exit the site meant driving around the site's one way system imagine my surprise/annoyance to see empty pitches that we could have set up in especially as they weren't being serviced at this time by staff The reason we were given was "people would complain" now I don't think I would mind new arrivals coming in at 12:30 any more than I do at 6:30pm but hey who am I ?? On exiting the site as instructed I was flagged down by the lady wardens Husband (the significance of introducing himself as that escapes me) to be told that I was speeding...#@#£ speeding ?! the lawn mowers go faster However we returned at 1pm as instructed after some ranting on my part only to find ourselves at the back of a 7-10 vehicle queue which we could have been at the front of if we'd stayed at the barrier Not a great start to an extended weekend but a great location with the right staff (Jobsworths needn't apply) it would be a great site On the morning we were leaving at about 10:30 whilst having a coffee before setting off we were asked if we could move our chairs so the tractor driver could cut our section of grass Again another example of the inflexible attitude that we experienced at Jobsworth Caravan Site We might go back or apply to be Wardens so as to do it properly Now who's a happy camper then? Rant Over
Great site shame about the noisy tractors
Great sight
Excellent location
