Best 3 nights sleep I've had for a long time

Whitehouse Farm

OK, we messed up the arrival by going to the wrong site to start with, but a quick call to Whitehouse Farm put us back on track and within 30 minutes we had arrived at the correct place. The turn into the field is easily doable, although seems tight on first approach. We back onto one of 5 hand standing pitches, and had to park our car on the grass next to the van as there just wasn't enough room in front of it. Even with all 5 pitches full, the site is so very peaceful, and being adults only, helped. Each pitch has EHU, and the site has a tap for drinking water situated pretty close to the middle of the 5 pitches. There are 2 solar lights next to the tap but unfortunately these didn't seem to be working. The whole site is lovely and very dark during the night. In fact the only sound we could hear during all three nights was the sound of rain on the caravan. There is an Information shed which houses the recycling area, some books and info on local sights and places to visit, along with a very large map. There is also info in there on how to pay cash, and some envelopes to use if you are paying by cash. I'm a great fan of CL sites and I would rate this one in my favourite top 10 (so far). It's quiet, dark (at night), within easy driving distance of many attractions, surrounded by absolutely stunning scenery and only £20 a night. The only downside for me is that it's over 100 miles away.

Beautiful site, loved our stay.

Whitehouse Farm
What a well maintained and peaceful CL, A lot of hard work is put into this site. I loved the wildflower area and the recycling shed. Owner was a lovely and helpful lady. Only negative was the corner pitch is very tight for larger Motorhomes. Fantastic location for walking & cycling. Walkers can follow the public footpath next to the entrance, this takes you through the fields to the Tissington trail. Cyclists go out of the gate, turn left and left again onto the quiet road. You can either get onto the Tissington Trail via the bridge (approx 2 mins ride) or carry on up the hill to the next right hand turn (public footpath sign), go through a gate on your right and drop diwn via the woods. I would definitely return to this site again.

Perfect

Whitehouse Farm
We enjoyed this relaxing site that much we have booked another 2 trips. The pitch it’s self was plenty big enough and nice and tidy .We have an on board water tank so our hose didn’t stretch to the tap however our host let us borrow one of hers so problem solved. There were plenty of walks straight from the campsite , and we were literally a stone through away from the cycle route which went on for miles. Nice and quiet . The site isn’t far from nearby towns so it makes it a perfect location for sightseeing.If your in Derbyshire and you want a quiet small site look no further

Great week at Whitehouse Farm

Whitehouse Farm
We had a great week in March at Whitehouse Farm CL. Jean was very welcoming and supportive - advised us to delay our trip by two days whilst the snow and ice melted from their local roads, offered her address to receive a replacement water pump for us, and advised where to park our car (I found the hardstanding pitch not really long enough to fit both caravan (7.3m) and car and not wide enough to have car alongside (the ground was inevitably very soft due to snow melt)). Facilities were good. The locality is simply gorgeous for both walkers and cyclists and very quiet. Note: there is no cycle access from the local lane to the Tissington Trail unless you can carry your bike for the length of the access 'path'; we continued up the lane and turned left down the B5054 for Hartington to get on the trail.

A little gem with wonderful views

Whitehouse Farm
A pretty little site with wonderful views (we stayed on the first pitch). Lovely walks from the site, as long as you don't mind getting muddy!! We stayed in March for 11nts and although the weather wasn't kind for us, we still managed to get out and about. Our only disappointment was that we didn't meet our hosts, Jean or Pam, during our stay, although Jean was accessible via text when we had a couple of questions. Please note, no Wi-Fi available and very limited 4G signal.
