Date of Visit: September 2016 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: JennyTulls 1 review from this member

 We loved this site, would highly recommend and we'd definitely stay here again if we visit the Peak District.

First impressions were very positive as we drove up the neatly manicured drive way, which by the way is very easy to get into from a main road (it was our first time driving a large LHD Motorhome so it was nice that it was such easy access!)

There was a delightful young lady at reception, pretty sure her name was Amy - so friendly and charming and chatted away to us and gave us lots of helpful info, she also said we could have a look around and select a pitch we liked (we hadn't prebooked)

We chose a lovely pitch with nice views, nice bit of grass for the camping chairs and for the dog to stretch out and sunbathe!

Shower and toilets were modern, immaculately clean and that matched our overall impression of this lovely site.

Bakewell is a 25min stroll if you follow the main road but Amy also let us know of a cross country route following a way marked footpath that took about an hour to get to Bakewell but it was well worth it. It follows the river and it was just lovely :)

Bakewell itself is a nice town to visit, plenty of gift shops and pubs, cafes etc. We ate at the Peacock pub and it was great.

Also ten minutes stroll from the site is Ashford-in-the-Water, a very pretty little village and we had a delicious cooked breakfast in the tea rooms there. It has a pub and a little shop too.

Well done to the owners of Greenhills, and a special mention to Amy who is a real asset to the site

Highly recommended

 Stayed here for one night midweek

Lovely site close enough (just!) To bakewell to walk.

On arrival the staff were very friendly.

On site there is a small shop which caters for the forgotten nessecities. We didn't use it so I can't comment on prices.

There is also a small children's play area.

There is an on site bar which was reasonably priced and had a lovely atmosphere in the evening.

We were right next to the bar and didn't get any late night noise from it

The toilets/showers were very clean.

The bar doesn't serve food and we couldn't be bothered walking back to bakewell so the staff kindly gave us a selection of takeaway menus

Overall a great site which we will be staying at again

 Lovely site, great location, booking easy, good amenities.

We arrived and they thought I'd got there already as they'd put someone on my pitch! Slight panic moment as I'd booked this for myself and some family back in March. It was resolved but we were very disappointed with how close each camper was to us. Either side and very close in front of the van too. Very impersonal so we won't be going back again which is a pity as so much else was good about it.

 Booked 9 nights but only stayed 8 disapointed with the site, pitches on the small side

Vans pitched untidily giving problems with erecting awning and car parking, there did not seam to be

Any organisation of the pitches which are on the small side, this led to disagreement between campers.

The toilets and showers could be better but they were clean

The saving grace of this site is its location within walking distance to Bakwell and Ashford.

Would I return I don't think so needs better management 


Date of Visit: June 2016 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Tony Burgess 12 reviews from this member

 Well, we phoned in from the road a few miles away, and they had a pitch available. We didn't need EHU.

We were directed to a lower field and given the impression the site was busy, but it really wasn't so there was plenty of space. But after pitching we did find a rabbit burrow very near the front entrance of our tent, and had to fill it with BBQ bricks to prevent putting a foot into it inadvertently.

The water tap was rather far away, and wash facilities even further!

Showers were clean and quite adequate for our needs, WiFi near the bar was welcome. We used the car to get around and didn't try to walk into Bakewell, though I'm not sure it looked like a pleasant walk.

Would we use this site again? Almost certainly not and only as a last resort. High season and therefore top tariff starts before most sites, and it's way more than justified for two people, a modest tent, a small car, and no electric! We discovered at least one other site nearby which we would far prefer and with sensible prices. We wish we'd found them first.

 Over night stop - Booked over the phone 20 minutes before we arrived; it was on the Bank Holiday Monday (Easter) we found the large site easily as it is well signed, the site was emptying as people were on the way home after the Easter weekend. Our pitch was close to the facilities luckily for us; the site looked like the rain had hit it hard over the weekend with some very large puddles around and some people bailing out around their pitch but all in all the roads and hardstanding were solid. Facilities were a mix of brick building and porta cabin Loos/showers so more than enough to go around, a few different disposal points, bins, water top up, grey water disposal (Cassettes type) with an on site shop and pub. As we hit the Bank Holiday Monday 1500 we were charged full BH rates which at £29 was a bit of a sting.

Reviewer: Larton 2 reviews from this member

 Very disappointed with this site, showers were tiny, and ready for a makeover, also no heating on in November! The grass was immaculately kept around the the static caravans unlike ours. The whole site was untidy, shop was closed bar was closed, still paid the same money though! The best thing about this site is the great pub in the village serving excellent food. Also location. Having said that I still wouldn't go back.

Reviewer: Whatevers 3 reviews from this member

 As below very disappointed with this site, pitches not very generous, shower block had no heating later in the evening, shower cubicles were far too small, overall site looking tired. The Bar and shop were not open yet the nightly fee was not reduced.

Another grudge was the dog bins are set against the hedge row which meant I had to trudge up a very slippery, muddy bank to use them, they could do with either making a gravel path to the bins or position a couple down at the grass edge closer to the road way.

This site is very near Bakewell, within walking distance if you don't mind a 20 minute walk, that's the main reason we chose to stay here but untill they update facilities (which in my opinion can make a site) and overhaul the site we won't be back, such a shame could it be so much nicer.

Reviewer: Walkhappy 1 review from this member

 This is a great little site centrally situated in the Peak District within walking distance of Bakewell and Ashford. The walking and cycling to be had from this location is superb. Watch out, however, if you are arriving with a caravan that has a relatively low tow-bar: the speed bumps on the approach road are ferociously high and sport many scrape marks. I would strongly suggest to the owners that they cut out the central section of these bumps to provide safe passage for tow bars.

I heavily weight campsite ratings on the quality of the showers - these were excellent and very clean as were the rest of the washing facilities. The site has little playground and a small shop covering essentials. It also boasts a bar, but this was closed for winter a few days before my visit (26 - 28th Oct) which seemed a bit premature to me.

Wifi access is offered at a reasonable rate through Oobi networks. This worked fine on the day that I paid the £4 fee online but despite getting a connection to Oobi I was unable to get internet access the next day - nor any message telling me why. Checking out the Oobi site at home I was able to log in but unable to manage my account as it promised, bring up any menus or even find any keywords that generated a FAQ - so in my opinion this team seem pretty flaky. Many campsites these days offer wifi but the quality of the online experience is frequently frustratingly poor for one reason or another. Maybe site managers are being sold network solutions that are rubbish? I would like to see/hear the opinions of some IT experts on this.

Caravanning is not really about the wifi though, and this is such a convenient site for us (living in Sheffield) that we a certain to visit again and we look forward to it.

 Fab site in picturesque countryside. Lovely friendly staff who were very helpful. Although there is a shop and bar on site, it wasn't open while we stayed. Dog friendly with a field at the front of the site, where dogs can have a run off the lead. A twenty minute stroll takes you into Bakewell and in the other direction a ten minute stroll to Ashford in the water. Great playground for those with children, in a safe environment. Toilet/shower facilities were excellent and kept very clean. We had a relaxing 4day break and will definitely return.
