Nice and quiet

We are at a stage where we like peace and tranquility and this site has it, along with a nice view over fields. We have just returned from a weekend there and thoroughly enjoyed it, so much that we booked for another visit in 4 weeks. Yes it is a working farm and the owner was very apologetic for the noise, but it was fine to us. I was told by her that the TV signal was poor, but I managed to get the 5 main channels with another couple such as E4 and BBC News with my roof aerial. We were lucky with the weather except for Saturday night when it hammered it down for 10 hours and the road and field immediately behind the vans were waterlogged. The owner tells us that he has permission to dig this up and arrange for the water to flow away, which will alleviate the problem, but to be fair it had been torrential. The site backs onto the road but it is not a busy road. There is a choice of 4 hardstandings or 2 grass pitches and the hardstandings are just the width of a van so any awning erected would be on grass. The electric is 16A, so fine for the chillier days when heating is utilised. A nice walk into Youlgreave or a short drive into Bakewell. The footpath into Youlgreave has a couple of very narrow stone stiles, which one of our Labradors could not squeeze through, got stuck, and had to be lifted over and no she is not rotund. At £10 a night it certainly ticked the boxes for us.
