New Year 2018

Stayed at the Chatsworth site for the 3rd time between xmas and just after the New Year. Greeted by very friendly wardens on the restricted lane approaching the site. Do not arrive before 1 pm- you have been advised and you won't get on before then. This is due to the narrow lane access and NOT due to the wardens. There is a small hump backed bridge on approach to entrance which is deceptively steep on one side but okay at slow speed (should do so anyway). Site had 6 pitches left to choose from (shows how popular the site is) and we had one nr toilet block. No problems with pitch or TV reception. Site is well maintained and toilet facilities always clean and warm, one of the delights of this site. My only gripe is that the club in general needs to sort out its recycling facilities. They are often in poorly lit areas, as is this one, and no good when I take the waste/wine bottles before retiring for the night. No particular provision for wine bottles- a crate or designated glass bin would be good. Having said that, the refuse area was well maintained and clean. Shower curtains are washed and ironed weekly and its clear to see how much pride and effort the wardens take in maintaining this site. Guests were invited to nibbles and drinks on Sat 29th and we were sorry we had made alternative plans, otherwise we would have popped in to say hello. Its a shame to see that newspapers can't be ordered anymore due to supplier retirement, its quite a walk or a drive off site to the nearest convenience shop in Baslow (quite a good one though). Generally, be prepared to walk to get anywhere but Chatsworth is a 'must' and can be accessed through the back 'door' of the site. Bakewell, Chesterfield and Sheffield plus the rest of the Peak District accessible by bus or car. A choice of restaurants are available in nearby Baslow and Rowsley. We also went to the Chatsworth Farm Shop- excellent food but expensive so remember to use your time restricted club discount. Many thanks to the team for enabling a very relaxed and peaceful short break on a pleasant site.
