Perfect Easter break

The Chestnuts
What's not to like about this site. Gill and Ken are lovely people, very welcoming but leave you to enjoy your holiday. Very clean and smart site. Easy access from the road with big gates. Slightly sloping, but no issue. No EHU, but we have a moderate solar panel and no issue are all for 4 nights. Quite nice to be off grid and have the pleasure to pitch where you want, when so many sites have restrictions. Just a perfect Easter break in the beauty of peaceful Derbyshire. Will definitely be coming again.

Relax and chill in peace.

The Chestnuts
Booked a Monday to Sunday break here but enjoyed it so much we stopped on for a couple of extra nights.The site is well kept and there is lots of room on the pitches. Slightly sloped we had to use our leveling blocks but that was no problem at all. Access was easy with the caravan and Ken and Gill had labeled our pitch for our arrival so no time wasted setting up. The location is great with lots to see and do in the local area. Local pub / hotel is 5 mins walk if you do not want to drive also there are lots of really good places to eats and drink within only a few minutes drive from the site. Basically, great hosts, great location, great site. Thanks Ken and Gill for a great break.

Peaceful haven in stunning surroundings

The Chestnuts
Enjoyed a 2 night weekend break at The Chestnuts. Ken and Gill were welcoming and warm hosts offering a generous and well maintained lawned site with recycling facilities and ample sized grass pitches. Had a nice meal at the local pub within 200m and enjoyed a pleasant walk in the beautiful surrounding countryside. An idyllic, peaceful location in the Derbyshire countryside.

Lovely site

The Chestnuts
A lovely well maintained site, located in a beautiful part of the country and perfect for our chosen destinations. Gill was warm welcoming and very helpful. The site is very generously proportioned so plenty of room for everyone. Could not fault it and would highly recommend. We stayed two nights but would definitely stay longer if we were staying longer in that part of the country.
