Our first long-awaited post lockdown trip, and like many people (we expect), we were a little nervous about being “out there” again. We needn’t have worried. We arrived two days after re-opening to find this site spotless, despite being almost full, with all six wardens pleasant and completely “on it”, working hard to ensure all was as it should be, and helping the unusual number of first-timers. We found the arrival and departure arrangements just as quick and efficient as usual, and used some of the CAMC vouchers. We are fortunate to have our own on-board facilities, but we could see the wardens carrying out frequent extra cleaning and checking of all shared facilities, although there was inevitably sometimes a short wait for the shower/toilet block due to the restrictions required by social distancing. The site looks beautiful and is well-looked after; we liked being able to pick our own fresh herbs for cooking. The shop carries lots of local and useful items including bakery bread and cream teas, with a Co-Op and the Village shop 20 minutes’ walk away. You can also catch a bus to Bakewell and beyond. Chatsworth isn’t fully open yet but you can walk (through the “secret door”!) in the grounds and gardens. We also enjoyed our first meals out at the Devonshire and the Prince of Wales (walking distance) which were both excellent, and socially distanced. We are so glad we ventured out again!
