This is a very nice site. The toilet block is very modern and clean with music playing while you shower. The pitches are spacious. The wardens are friendly and helpful. The dog walks are fantastic. Lots of paths to follow for different scenery every day. Our dogs loved it! Morrisons supermarket is a 10 minute drive away or can be reached easily on foot. Our only suggestion to the site is that the shop could stock more of a range of items. The wardens said they don't stock much because morrisons is not far away but when you are halfway cooking your tea and realise you have forgotten something you don't really want to be traipsing to morrisons. Overall though poolsbrook site is one of the best we have been too. I would give it a 9.5/10. We will definitely be going back.

Hi
We arrived at the Pool Brook Country Park on 7.30 pm. 11 am so we just had to wait as warden just had to clean the toiles, so it was ok. We had driven down from Bladon Chains.
So it was good with a little rest, from the traffic on the highway.
We have been here in the square three times now and we are very happy to come here, it's a lovely place, here are three lakes that you can fish in and you can get tea and coffee and a bite to eat, and not to mention there is also a large playground for both large and small children.
my wife comes from Eckington Just 3 miels from here so thats a big plus for us.
Follow us on our website www.rejsud.dk soon come under travel diary.
Hi Ewan
Well worth a visit
We stayed here as an over night stop on the way too and back from the south west. I think we found a gem of a site which we will certainly be using in future for longer stays.
The wardens were very pleasant, helpful and keep the site and facilities immaculate.
The noise mentioned in a previous review was NOT from anyone on site but, from a concert being held at a local football ground and it was only afternoon and early evening.
The only downside for me was the idiots who dont stick to the 5mph speed limit, the lazy dog owners who are too idle to walk their dogs off site and allow them to toilet on the pitches and the brain dead who cant work out the simple mechanics of a toilet brush.
Not a noisey site!!
Stayed here over the weekend of 15/8 - noise mentioned by another reviewer was NOT from the site but from the village. Wardens keep the site immacutely and it is a credit to them. One of the best sites we have visited with plenty of local walks nearby and plenty of other attractions not too far away - Harley Cafe at Welbeck excellent.
Not as good as last time!
Stayed here the weekend 15th August.
The site is immaculate and the staff great, we have visited before and really enjoyed it, not so much this time.
Saturday afternoon and night we had what sounded like a disco, i don't know which van it was from but not directly near us, we were near the reception so the staff had to have heard it, if they told them to keep it down they ignored them. Not good!
Go try it!
What a fantastic site! Stayed for three nights in August, on our big tour of the UK. Really good location, convenient for those travelling and for a longer stay. We visited Hardwick Hall and Bolsover Castle from here, what a treat. The site itself is one of the best we have been to, quite flat, open with trees around the edges, quiet, good hardstanding and immaculate, clean and new facilities. Would recommend highly!

A great choice
This site is a credit to the Caravan Club.
Spotless, well managed and a site that is worth many visits.
Well done the Warden Team
Pleasant stay with lots to do.
We made a last minute decision to go to this site as it was on our way home. Staff were friendly & helpful. Facs spotless. Only stayed one night, but it was long enough to cycle a lovely route along the Chesterfield canal. Nona's cafe looks nice coffee stop, but we carried on to the Tapton Lock Visitor Centre. There is a Country Park adjacent to the site with walks & activities for the kids. There are many more cycle routes which we will do next time we visit.
LOVE IT
My fifth visit to this site and i will be back next year.A 1st class toilet block and i like the radio in the block playing all day
Lovely Site, shame about some bad customer interaction.
2015 saw our 3rd consecutive visit to Poolsbrook and it's a lovely site. There are plenty of places to visit in the area including Hardwick Hall, Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House, Bakewell and of course Alton Towers. The facilities are excellent and very clean. The wardens do look after the site in this respect. What I do object to is a Warden with double standards, and unfortunately i encountered such a warden this time. We arrived in good time after a longish drive, checked in and waited for the warden to open the gates. We passed through and proceeded to find a pitch. We were driving around and was stopped by the warden for going too fast around the site. I NEVER do this and on this occasion I must have been travelling about 7mph which I know is over 5mph, the speed limit. The warden told me to slow down and then shouted after me when I proceeded to move off. I thought this was extremely bad customer interaction as there were other service users in the vicinity. I encountered very many other vehicles doing more than the 5 mph around the site that week I was there and they were not warned or shouted at. I will go back to Poolsbrook as I'm not going to let this dampen my enjoyment of this lovely site.
