We had 6 nights at Poolsbrooke, unfortunately the sat nav took us through Staveley then through an Industrial Estate and finally on to the site which wasn't a great first impression. On leaving we realised the motorway was actually 1/2 mile in the other direction making it very easy to access and a much nicer entrance. The site itself is very well kept and the wardens are helpful and friendly. The country park is very close and is wonderful for cycle rides for all ages with various lengths of tracks. There is a super play park there but I did miss an on site park for my eldest child to play at independently in the evenings. The town of Staveley is nothing special but Chesterfield was nice and further away in Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton. We spent most of our time there and probably should have booked Chatsworth instead although we did enjoy our stay at Poolsbrooke.
