Another great stay at a great site

We have had another great stay at Chatsworth. The wardens this year have been very friendly and welcoming.Our Grand-Kids love their sunday visits to us when we stay here,just a pity we never seem to be able to get many weekends (if any)as they are all booked.One of the better kept sites we have visited and look forward to our next visit in September

A special place

We've been here before and it's always lovey to go back. It's always SO hard to book for any w/e so I was delighted to find a 3 night stay suddenly come free last weekend. I booked it immediately (despite it being Friday 13th!) 3 nights was all that was available on the web site but when we checked in we were delighted that we could stay 4 nights - so that was a lovely surprise. The site is all you'd expect from a CC site - immaculately clean, well maintained and well managed. Some friends stayed at Chatsworth last year and enjoyed the location but said the wardens were surly and had spoiled their stay. I was prepared for a gruff check in, but it couldn't have been further from the truth; quite the opposite in fact! I must say that the wardens were the epitome of a warm welcome. They clearly work really well as a team on this site, and every time we saw both male wardens they had a cheery grin and a wave for us. Traffic can be quite a challenge because access to the site is through a single track lane. The depart before 12:00 and arrive after 1:00 rule is in place for good reason at this site! It was tipping it down when we arrived around 1:30 and there was a small queue to check in (3 caravans). The warden was there just at the entrance to the site, standing in the rain but speaking cheerily to each driver with tips about crossing the small bridge onto the site, checking in quickly and choosing a pitch etc. The ladies in the office knew who we were when we walked in because the male warden had checked us in from his queue - it all worked very smoothly and with plenty of friendly banter. The site itself is well laid out, with hard standing level pitches which are pretty spacious, though when the site is full it can feel busy. It was still dead quiet after about 10pm so you could hear the pheasants and owls. Finally, we enjoyed a lovely dinner on Friday 13th at "Charlie's" in Baslow, which is 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes walk from the site. We also visited Buxton on Saturday and enjoyed lunch at a café/bistro called 53 "Degrees North" This place has only opened in April last year and it's well worth a visit. Hope you find all this useful!

Great site next door to Chatsworth

This a really busy but well run site. Struggled to find a pitch in the dark but got settled in soon after. As usual the toilet block is pristine, modern and facilities are always available, despite the site being full. Literally next door to the Chatsworth estate, perfect for walking and visiting the house and gardens - but only the grounds and shops are open January to March. The pitches tend to overlook each other being positioned around the meandering road, and there isn't much grass around them. The track to the site is unlit and half a mile to Baslow, but we managed to get to a super pub for dinner - the Devonshire arms, which is 10 mins walk after turning right out of the site entrance. I booked a table online before arriving. Apart from Chatsworth, there are a couple of villages worth visiting, Pilsley has a nice pub ( another Devonshire Arms!!) and the Chatsworth farm shop and restaurant can be found here too. A great weekend, great site, but so popular you have to book well in advance for a weekend away here

Another good site

Even though it is very difficult to get booked in as this site is so popular it is well worth it. Wardens good, site excellent especially the service pitches. Great to walk straight into Chatsworth estate. The local area has alot of excellent restuarants and eating pubs. The Chatsworth farm shop is well worth a visit and there is plenty to do in the surrounding area with places like Bakewell etc. The only thing i would say is will people please note the arrival times for this site as it is a long single carriageway to the site and a number of members still tried to get in before 1pm which could have caused a bottle neck on the entrance lane.

Beautiful Escape

Our first visit to this site. Beautiful location, it does not get much better than this. Staff as usual, really helpful and pleasant. Tried a number of times to get on this site, and found a weekend "in February" where we could use the site through the weekend and mid week! Just a lovely site, with fantastic wild life all around, hoof and wing! Oh one more comment, expected a really tight entrance to the site from what we had been told, not really, very manageable.

Chatsworth Charms

Two very relaxing February days spent walking, watching wildlife  and wondering why we do not use this site more often...we only live 9 miles away. it was was wet, windy and it did not really matter. We were well shod and suitably dressed. Walked from the site to Carlton Lees. Enjoyed good hot food in the garden centre cafe. Returned along the bank of the river. Herds of deer, flocks of sheep and convoys of ducks ~ the latter eager to gobble duck food available from site reception. Facilities excellent ... This is Chatsworth ! Wardens and staff efficient , polite and keen to make members' time here as pleasant as possible. If you haven't been to Chatsworth then you should book and come . C & J Rice

Winter break in Chatsworth

One night while looking through the availabilty I noticed Chatsworth was free. As this is rare I decided to book the weekend and hope the snow kept away. How lucky was we. When we arrived at 1pm there was a queue of units waiting to check in. The wardens greeted us advising us of the entrance and the little bridge. We was checked in very quick and soon was all set up and ready for the weekend. We went for a walk in the grounds of Chatsworth, saw all the deer. It has lots of walks round, should you decide you can visit the house. We didnt this visit on this occasion. Our walk took us into Baslow where we decided to call into the Wheatsheef for a drink. Lovely coal fire, lovely food , good prices so we decided to stay for a meal. We eventually headed back to our caravan as it was just getting dusk. The next morning we decided to take a walk to Bakewell, this is a lovely walk through the grounds taking in the lovely scenery, still with a covering of snow. After a walk round Bakewell, we caught the bus back that takes you into the grounds of Chatsworth House and walked back to the site. Regrettably Sunday came all too soon when we had to leave. The weather was perfect, cold but beautiful blue skys. The wardens are very pleasant, and have the procedure booking in well organised to prevent too much conjestion. They had 70 arrivals that date, and the site was full. I would recommend the site if you are lucky to be able to get on.
