A most attractive little site set well back from the road, with a level row of grass for 5 caravans between a low wall and the back of the farm buildings surrounded by a heavily wooded area. This gives a feeling of being deep in the country, very peaceful with the silence only being broken by the sound of ducks and chickens foraging around you. In a dark alley through the farm building it has a small, rather neglected shower room with a toilet and large wash basin. There was no toilet paper provided, and no towel for hand washing after using the loo, but the shower works fine and there’s plenty of hot water. We did have a problem with the loo being blocked on our first day, but the proprietor sorted it out by the evening. This alley also has the fresh water tap and the chemical toilet disposal point, so this is a fully equipped site albeit with a feeling of stepping back in time. I would certainly recommend this site, especially as it is fantastic value at only £9 per night.
Points to watch are: 1) the entrance to Offley Place is quite narrow and between two hefty stone posts, so be careful to give the inside post plenty of space when swinging in to the site 2) the road from Chesterfield to Upper Brampton is in quite a poor state of repair, so take it easy over the pot-holes! And finally, 3) because the space is limited between the plots and the building opposite, reversing into an allocated space is tricky and a caravan mover (or a lot of muscle!) would be a distinct advantage; without it, especially with a longer outfit, parking the ‘van is extremely difficult.
