Noisy but nice

Stayed for three nights at the end of May'15. Access was manageable in 8.5m motorhome, however take extra care going over the little bridge near the reception, otherwise you will bottom out! We stayed on a super pitch without awning and was given a choice of three available, all next to one another. Pitch was hard standing with own water, waste, chemical waste and electric. Unfortunately, due to the trees, our satellite dish would not get a reception, so £15 lighter got me a length of coax aerial cable to plug into the bollard. The site was very busy. Lots of kids racing about the site on bikes whilst mum & dad relaxed with their wine, although the little darlings did go to bed after 1030pm. Only other noise we had was next door but one testing their new motorhome stereo until 1130pm - so loud, we gave up on our TV as we couldn't hear it. Shame the Burstner owners didn't refund me my fifteen quid! Other than this, the site is in a lovely setting. Facilities are good, although on more than one occasion, each toilet cubicle pan was left in a mess. - no fault of the wardens who were hard working and friendly. (They can't  be blamed for the mindless souls). Site is a short stroll to Chatsworth House across the beautiful grounds. Entry is £22 pp but with a small discount for staying on this site. In addition, £14 pp entry to the gardens and £7 pp entry to the farm and kids playground - so take your purse. It's not cheap. The village of Baslow is lovely and has a few boutique style shops and pubs. There's a bus service into Bakewell, but make sure you get the timetable and time your walk to the bus stop accordingly. Would I return? Probably, but not in school holidays!
