Stunning views and site

Lovely clean site, friendly, helpful staff, everything has been thought of for convenience and comfort. There is a dog walk with dog waste bin provided close by, despite this someone had let their ( obviously large) dog foul the grass close to the bin, very unfair to fellow members imho. Stunning views and countryside all around, it really is a country retreat. The walk to the nearest pub ( Fisherman’s Rest) less than a mile away, partly quite steep on the way back. It was a bit hairy as most of the time there isn’t a footpath, despite this we received a warm welcome, lots of local people in there which says it all, the food and service excellent, best steak we’d had in a while. The menu said it was a limited choice but there is surely something for everyone, hard to choose, locally produced where possible. Good choice of drinks and guest beers, lovely country pub. NB they also do takeaway including fish and chips and pizzas. As we are in a motorhome we like to explore on foot, the walk to Belper is not good, for the first over a mile there is no footpath, it is just grass verge so pretty scary, the cars are very fast and close, once you get on the path it is ok and Belper has a good choice of shops, pubs and eating places. Caught the bus back which drops off at the gates of the site. If you go left out of the entrance towards Heage you will find beautiful countryside and footpaths. Plenty to see and do nearby.

Fantastic Site

This was our 2nd visit to this beautiful site. Such a haven of peace and tranquility. The facilities are superbly clean at all times. The staff work so hard to keep the standards high , the staff were relief staff when we stayed and were tireless in their efforts to keep things looking fab. They never seemed to stop working.

The  reception we received on arrival was second to none and the cheerfulness and friendliness continued throughout our stay. We don’t tend to move our van when on site, we walked to Belper all down hill just over two miles, more arduous coming back. There is a bus service but every two hours each way I think but not an unpleasant walk down through the woods for some of the way. The town of Belper is lovely, lots of independent shops as well as the usual ones, everything you need . We would recommend a visit to the little nursery which is just down the road. Beautiful plants at very good prices. We will definitely be booking again. Loved the jigsaw by the way. Many many thanks to all the staff for your hard work.

Lovely Site

This was the first time we visited this site. It’s a lovely small site, kept very clean and tidy. It was ideal for us to visit Dovedale Stepping Stones. We will definitely be coming back here and would recommend it to anyone.

Impressed on first visit

This was our first visit to this site and we were very happy. The pitches are mixed hard standing and grass and flat and well maintained but fairly close together. The wardens were very good so all in order there. There is no childrens play area though so it might be better for those without them. Very central for most Peak District attractions so good for touring this area. No problems for us and we would be happy to return if in the area but do only use the clubs route there as other looked dubious..

Brilliant

From even before we arrived ( we had a problem with a potential slow puncture on the caravan) until the moment we left after only four nights, we found the wardens ( relief) to be amazing in their helpful and friendly manner. The Firs is a first class caravan club site and it shows. Facilities, immaculate, cared for, peaceful, uncrowded, ....and friendly. Such a relaxed place to be, and the relief wardens were amazing in the way they welcomed people to the site. A real credit to the Club .

Peaceful location

Warm friendly welcome from the wardens, who were very helpful when a had a few issues with the new caravan. Small peaceful site with lovely views and good TV and WiFi, not sure if this would be the same in the lower part of the site. Excellent facilities blocks. Very handy for trips to the Heights of Abraham, Buxton and the Crich tramway museum.

That Little Extra Kindness

We received a great deal of thoughtful kindness from the staff on this site. When our new grand daughter was taken ill little things like rearranging it so we could stay longer on the same pitch even though the site was full and allowing us to stay longer on the last day when we weren't sure what we were doing helped very much. While the site and facilities were perfect it was the staff who really made the difference to our admittedly rather roller coaster trip. Thankfully mother and child are both much better . We are already looking forward to another visit and intend making this one of our 'default sites', somewhere we can go when we need that little extra. Thank you again

The wardens Angie and Les very friendly and helpful, the site is credit to them always doing something. Plenty to do and lovely places to eat , so easy to find , if approached from A6. Only rated 3 stars , as no play are.

Fantastic First Stay

As new members to the caravan club we could not fault this site at all. Welcoming hosts on arrival & quick to help when we had a schoolboy error with the electric! The shower block was immaculate & the site was everything we could have hoped/wished for for our first trip. If you want somewhere great to eat visit the Fisherman’s Rest pub just a 20 min walk away from the site. Thanks for looking after us so well & will definitely see you again
