Wonderful site, superb wardens!

Stayed for one night heading for home after visiting family in Northumberland. This site is really second to none and is a real tribute to the hard work and efforts made by the wardens! Facilities are spotless and hard to believe the amenities block has not been refurbished for 10 years! Wonderful views over Derwent Valley and a really interesting area to visit. Thanks, we will be back!

No enough space between caravans.

pitch 34-36 and 39-41 we found these to be very close to one another, we could not get the car out without a lot of maneuvering,

The Firs Caravan Club Site

Although it was the last open weekend and the site was probably only half full this did not stop our enjoyment of this beautiful site. Extremely friendly wardens and very helpful the site has stunning views and is very clean and tidy. The shower block was spotless with copious amounts of piping hot water. Will definitely visit this site again next year.

Excellent end of Season holiday

Friendly welcome from the Wardens to this exceptionally well presented site. The facilities were absolutely spotless, warm and the showers piping hot! Wonderful dog excercise on the lower tier where you can let your dog run free. Places to visit in the local area are in abundance, especially National Trust properties and walks. We will definitely be returning to this outstanding and relaxing site. Please follow the directions and not the Sat Nav ...... or you could be in for an interesting journey!

What a fantastic stay, an easy 10/10

What a stay we had at the Firs. It was just perfect. Not only is the site incredibly picturesque with stunning views, the Caravan Club staff really make this site. We have never come across such helpful and kind people. We arrived late and thought the local pub served food. When we asked reception where the pub was located, we were informed they no longer did food, but there was an information room on the site with details of takeaway food that could get delivered on site. A few minutes later, a member of staff a[[roached us and said they were going to a supermarket and could they get us anything? We were bowled over quite honestly. The information room was fantastic, full of local details as well as takeaway menu's, we ordered pizza! The toilets and showering facilities were immaculately clean as was the site. The next day we realised we forgot out tea towels, we went to the shop to purchase one and instead they kindly gave us one to use. Nothing was too much for them on this site. We enjoyed it so much and were so taken with the wonderful people at this site, we're tried thinking of ways to go in the direction again, just to stay again! Thank you all at The Firs, we enjoyed every minute!

Lovely site in beautiful surroundings

Visitors should be aware that this site gets extremely popular at weekends even in Autumn and Springtime. We use this site every year so that we can visit family locally and I have to say that the Wardens are wonderful and can't do enough to help you. The site facilities are clean and tidy - and warm where appropriate. There are local supermarkets and Belper is a nice little town, but the real benefit of this site is the countryside around it - quite simply it is stunning. If you are into walking, you don't need to travel far for some good walks - some are even fairly flat so that oldies like us can do the quite easily. I would like t keep this site a secret, but unfortunately Club rules mean that a review has to be for the benefit of all, so I will just say "I don't think you will find a nicer site anywhere in the country".

Hidden Gem

First time visitor. As we left I did tell the wardens that I would not tell anyone how brilliant this site was as we wanted to keep it secret but I should not be selfish. The advised route may seem strange but driving along the local options I would stick with the advised route. The site is spotless and run by one pair of wardens who have a pride in their work but with the human nature, friendly and helpful, infact some other site wardens could do with learning from them. The toilet block is 9 yrs old since refurbishment yet looks like it was last year. It is not child friendly as no play area but not all sites can be. . If it's peace and quiet well this is it. This is the best Caravan club site we have found , it puts others to shame.

Perfect site

We have stayed here twice, each time for a week. The site is well maintained. The shower block is immaculate. There is plenty of hot running water. It is a very quiet site and there is no play area. For my husband and I it is perfect as not many families seem to stay. The wardens are a lovely friendly couple. Always seen around the site cleaning and making sure everything is perfect. If you need anything they will assist. We wanted bread so when visiting the local shops we placed an order! There is a small shop with a limited supply of food - canned food, bread, milk, sausages, ice-creams, sweets and some camping supplies. We would definitely recommend this site. Nothing bad can be said. Thank you for another great holiday.

Perfect Site

This is our second visit and stay of 7 days. The site is nicely located for a range of activities, has very helpful, competent, caring wardens with a great sense of humor. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they even provide a range of jigsaw puzzles for guests to work on in the information room, should they so wish. The site is kept spotlessly clean and is a joy to stay on with good sized hard standing pitches. Will return next year! Dave and Val Attridge. Norfolk.
