Peaceful stay

my husband and I spent 4 nights here in October. Although it is quite a large site and was busy, we found it peaceful, with the pitches grouped into discreet areas. The shower block was modern with ample facilities. I would prefer a flexible shower head, but these seem to be available only in the disabled showers. The nearby watersports centre is within 2 miles and we had a lovely breakfast there overlooking the water. My husband hired a boat for trout fishing, whilst I launched my own paddleboard. Paddleboards , kayaks and also bikes are available for hire. We cycled around the reservoir and found the paths were fine for our 20 inch wheels. We also cycled on the Tissington trail a short drive away, which is fairly flat and well surfaced. the Barley mow pub at Kirk Ireton was our favourite, selling excellent beers (4 in total including 2 from Thornbridge brewery in Bakewell) and serving food on Saturday and Sunday (pre booking recommended). We cycled there from the site , approx 2 miles with some inclines. This area is just outside the peak district national park, but there is still some really nice countryside to explore, whilst not being overly touristy.
