Lovely CL

Lovely CL site, super tidy and great owners. Fabulous surroundings with walks in all directions incorporating stunning scenery, wildlife, ancient history and best of all pubs! Having broken down whilst there, the locals couldn't have been more helpful and we managed to get back under steam despite being a bank holiday weekend thanks to a local garage. Will be back.

One site not to be missed !!!

August Bank holiday weekend + a few days after. This is a beautifully site, well kept and we were made very welcome. Water and grey waste drain on each pitch. Handy location about half way between Bakewell and Matlock. There is a great pub (Druids Inn) 2 miles away with good food and good beer. (You have to book a table). Walking to Lathkil dale, Youlgrave and Over Haddon are great walks and can be completed from the site. This next paragraph is "Just in Case" to defend Nicola, the site owner as I understand she had received an email of complaint from our caravan neighbour, about our dog and the cost of her pitch. As this may be followed up by a poor review, I wish to put things straight as any poor review would be totally unfair. One, this lady knows the price of the site when she booked it! Two, this year we have been caravanning for about 6 weeks on CL's which accept dogs and there have been no issues with the conduct of our cocker spaniel. In fact most people think he is quite cute. He is well behaved, comes back to a call, and does not roam more than 10 yards from our caravan. (he would be too scared) Unfortunately, this break we were next to this lady and sole caravaner, who kept her dog in the caravan all day apart from taking it out in her car. Every time you walked by the caravan her dog would continually yap and when she went to her car or passed our caravan our cocker returned the compliment with a couple of barks but not continuous.

'Piqued' Interest

We tend to use the Club’s CL network because of their intimacy, and often more rural appeal. Broadmeadow Farm CL is no exception, what is rather unique is that all the pitches are fully serviced, with their own dedicated fresh water taps and Grey Waste drain, a point other reviewers have highlighted. The very friendly and approachable site owner, Nicola, maintains the site in immaculate condition, the views are spectacular, with several walks directly from the site, Alport and Youlgreave are within easy walking distance to visit and for a quick top up of essentials. Haddon Hall, who’s estate the farm partly sits on, is also well worth a visit. Chatsworth House and Estate are less than 5 miles away, and there’s a couple of cycle trails nearby for the more energetic. We would very much hope to pay more visits to this gem of a CL, which is peace and quiet personified, even given the fact it’s a working farm. If there could be a site upon which CL’s were to be modelled, this would be it, and it’s strange how, even after a few days, the ambiance of the place remains so strong.

"Charming"

Wonderful little cl site, owner very polite and helpful. Tap next to electric hookup, Great walks around surrounding area (Lathkil Dale, Youlgreave, Haddon Hall, Etc) but sadly only had a one night stay (15/08/2020) but we shall be back later in the year. Great site if you want to walk to Bakewell its pretty much central to all the above locations. We had a campervan and did not find any issues with the roads leading to the cl site.

Good campsite

Lovely campsite, well kept and quiet. Wonderful to have full facilities at each pitch, water electricity and drainage. The only downside was that the TV reception was stated as being ‘good’ when it was actually nonexistent. Other campers on site said they didn’t get a reception either. When approaching its best to come in from the B5056 and not through Alport as the road is very winding and not suitable for caravans

Just what was needed!

This site in spite of being on a working farm is so quiet only the occasional car going up / down the lane and the odd tractor.It is very well situated for access to Bakewell ,Matlock , Matlock Bath Cromford and various other places of interest .If you are prepared to walk there is a lovely walk from the site down into Lathkill Dale, you can make it as long or short as you wish but be prepared for hills after all this is Derbyshire. the site is well kept with grass cut regularly. Only a couple of points 1. there are some ruts in grass where the electrics/water supply have been put in so be careful not to trip or twist an ankle , 2. why is it more expensive to stay for less than a week £14 a night if you stay 7 nights or more or £ 16 a night for less than 7 nights.I really can't see what difference it makes how long your stay is.

Fabulous Site

Our first visit to Broadmeadow but it won't be the last! Great little site, serviced pitches, level hard standings, easy access (the last 300-400 meters of road is very narrow but not a problem) great location for local villages and walks straight from the site, good pubs in Youlgreave. Very quiet and set in stunning countryside. Has the advantage too that if you have non caravaning friends or relatives who would like to stop with you there are 4 very nice looking camping pods on site with all facilities, see the web site, be great for our kids and grand kids! Great value at £13 to £15 per night for a serviced pitch, goes onto our list of favorites!

May Road Trip

The May Road Trip is now on its homeward leg - lovely site in Derbyshire with serviced pitches, hardstanding for the caravan but grass alongside, spacious pitches. Directions good, the last few hundred yards is uphill on single track road so care needed - entrance to site excellent and well marked. Stone driveway to pitches. Useful information on board. Lovely scenery, quiet - it's a working farm so occasional lorry movements. Three pubs in the village but didn't manage to get parked so can't comment on the food. Quite limited dog walking apart from using the roads. We would be happy to visit again if we were in the area - ideal situation for visiting Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton.

Terrific CL in a Terrific area

Great site with serviced pitches, views to either side and nice green area in front of pitches. Lovely area for walking and pretty surrounding villages, plus near to Chatsworth house and grounds and even nearer to Haddon hall where you can get 2 for 1 entry if you show your club card, a saving of £15+ Good food available in Youlgrave at either the Farmyard Inn or the Bull inn Hotel. Would definitely use this site again, even with non caravanning family as the Walkers also own Peak Pods next door.
