Good for families

Great facilities shame about location

We just returned from a 5 night stay at Poolsbrook. The site is up to the usual caravan club standards showers and toilet block spotless and good size clean pitches. The surrounding are is very industrial and the park is located just off the M1 literally so plenty of loud road noise. The "country park" has a lake and visitor centre with car park which attracts local boy racers playing loud music and wheel spinning up and down the car park which made us feel quite unsafe. There is a play area however again this seemed to attract youths (not sure if they were from the site) unsupervised swearing and shouting and not somewhere I would want my daughter to be playing. The nearby town of Staveley has a feeling of deprivation and again not a nice place to visit. We were recommended the Arkwright Arms public house for somewhere to eat. There is plenty of choice and its cheap but the food is not very good quality but I guess you get what you pay for. This site is probably ideal for an overnight stay travelling up or down the country but not one I would recommend for a holiday. In 10 years this is the worst caravan site we have stayed at (sorry) If you are thinking of staying here take a look on google maps first at the surrounding area.
