Excellent facilities that we now expect from the caravan and motor home club sites. Nice friendly staff. Excellent dog walking just off site. Chesterfield town a must to visit. Supermarkets and pubs not far away. Well-stocked Caravan shop not far away if you need anything the on-site shop does not stock. Will definitely visit again!
We have stayed at this site several times and cannot fauIt it. It is the cleanest site we know from the outside areas to the spotless showers. The wardens and their assistants work tirelessly to achieve this but they also go out of their way to be both friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Well done to all concerned!
Booked at the last minute and stayed here as Chatsworth was closed due to the snow. Now that we have been here we will stay in preference to Chatsworth if we are visiting the area or overnight stopping on the way North or South on the M1, which is close but you can't here it. Spotlessly clean and tidy....the TV reception is poor so don't forget your cable to connect to the services post!! There was a bit of noise during the day as there were landscape gardeners putting in addition pitches but quiet at night.
Great pub called the "Devonshire Arms" at Middle Handley nearby...try it you won't be disappointed.
Stayed overnight at Poolsbrook in Feb 18. Had a nice stay despite freezing cold weather!
Staff were friendly and the toilet and shower block were spotless.
Playground and Green Gym in the next door park with nice walks around and lots of Ducks / Swans etc to feed too (Duck food on sale - 50P at reception!)
The Warden team were excellent, friendly and helpful. We needed to arrive a day early and they pulled out the stops to accommodate us. The site is nice and level with great facilities. True there was some work being carried out to replace some grass pitches with hardstandings and service pitches, but it didn't cause us a problem and the disruption minimal. Personally, we prefer to have hardstanding so happy for more to be created.
The weather was pretty poor but it didn't stop us walking out along the Trans Pennine Way or around the Country Park. We would certainly stay again.
A regular visitor to this site was somewhat disappointed on our arrival that there were workmen on the site creating more hard standings and fully service pitches. A bit noisy during the weekdays. Why is this not mentioned in the details when booking.
Also friends wanted to join us for the weekend but site was showing full Friday and Saturday night. When the days arrived there were over ten empty pitches both nights so they could have come if the late availability had been updated. This is not the first time we have seen this happen. Why are sites showing full when they are quite clearly not. We are losing money!!!. I don’t believe for one minute they are all subject to cancellations.
A great site in Poolsbrook Country Park. The site is level with a slight incline as you approach the entrance. The Country Park would be lovely on a nice day and has picnic tables, a lake and a small cafe. There is also a children's play area.
When we were there we had heavy snow in February and we had to extend our stay by a couple of nights. The site staff were excellent and cleared and gritted the access road.
Very enjoyable stay at pools brook caravan site easy access into Derbyshire for walks and visiting NationalTrust properties, very friendly helpful staff and very clean superbly looked after showers, like the fact you are provided with a key for access, will return
