Ok so we were helped by a fortnight of lovely weather but even so the site layout with pitches in small groups amongst the trees lends itself to a mostly peaceful air. Ok the peace was shattered on occasions when the site filled up for the B/hol weekend bringing with it an influx of small, yappy dogs which for some reason their owners felt it was appropriate to ignore but that’s not the site’s fault and seems to be an issue everywhere unfortunately. As dog owners ourselves, the site is well located with a good dog walk around the perimeter of the site as well as a number of walks available both from the site as well as having the Tissington & High Peak Trails plus the beautiful DoveDale within 10 miles. We used very little fuel in our fortnight only needing to fill up for the return home. Good range of shops in nearby Ashbourne ( including a fab hardware store which was a proper treasure trove of useful stuff). Only downside was a shortage of pubs in the area that were open all day so we did lack for a pint at the end of our walks. Never mind, there was always a suitable refreshment back in the van which we could enjoy enjoying the peace amongst the trees. Lovely!
