We have been visiting this campsite for two years now and every time we can not fault.
Went this time for a 50th birthday bash with friend and family of about 45 of us, adults and children. Arrived Thursday night for four nights and we were able to have a full field to ourselves which was great. On the Saturday night we had a hog roast (all previously arranged with Nick & Sue the owners) in the barnhouse and karoki for the evening.
What a weekend, nobody will forget the weather was lovely so we had took paddling pool for the children so what more could we have asked for. Nick and Sue just make your whole stay so special as they are such a lovely accommodating couple, if they can help in any way then they give 100%.
The surrounding area is lovely and the campsite has nice places to wonder, we have dogs so they love the full open space, obviously they need to be supervised.
Can not fault this site just love everything about it. Well done Nick & Sue, sorry and Mark as well who does the karioki to perfection. Thank You for making Yvonne's birthday a special one
I love this campsite! It was our second visit which is unusual for us so we must have liked it!. We went as 2 moms each with our 2 children camping in 2 tents. It's set in stunning Staffordshire countryside and the views from the farm are breath taking. The farmer and his wife are so friendly and welcoming and have lots of time for you. They clearly really love running this campsite and it shows.
The campsite is pretty simple as its only small. The pitches are very well maintained (grass always mowed) and spacious on flat ground. They allow you have a campfire so this feels like REAL camping. For not too much, you can hire portable fire basket supplied with logs and firelighters. If you need more logs, they'll be delivered to your tent!
Toilets and shower block are really nice & regularly cleaned. Properly tiled floors and walls and more importantly comfortably HEATED! Showers were powerful and hot and had places to put your toiletries and clothes. I never had to wait for the shower. The pot washing area was spacious and under cover, Washing up liquid and sponges supplied was a nice extra touch. You could freeze your ice blocks in the freezer at no extra cost.
In the evenings, the farmer sometimes opens up his barn to campers to watch movies on his giant cinema screen (mainly for kids) or do karaoke. There are sofas galore to chill out on and heaters to keep warm. My kids thought this was sooo cool!.
There are 2 gorgeous, friendly resident border collies (Poppy and Dodge if I recall correctly) who love a good fuss and a ball throw, again a hit with my kids!. There was a great little self contained wooded walk within the campsite which was safe enough for the kids to do alone and enjoy a bit of independence. Only took them 5-10mins.
Campsite is also dog friendly with plenty of space for you take them for exercise.
All in all a great find to enjoy a bit of proper camping - it's relaxing just to stay on the site. We will definitely return.
Outstanding hospitality from this small but well maintained family run site. As a large group with children we were welcomed and given a comprehensive tour of the facilities. The pitches were mown and generally flat. Toilets and showers spotless and the 'party barn' a welcome bonus on a rainy weekend. The owners were friendly and accommodating which made for a relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back next year and would highly recommend this site, great value for money!
Just spent 2 lovely relaxing days here. Great welcome from owners Nick and Sue, very friendly, walked us around to make sure we knew where everything was, showed us to our pitch (£15 per night for a campervan and 2 adults, no ehu. ). Facilities were spotless, site clean and tidy. Cant score for children on ratings as we didn't have any with us, but lots of kids on site enjoying the woods and fields and safety, no-one drove faster than crawling speed. All other reveiws cover everything here, fantastic site. Would we go again? Yes, definitely.
What a fab place ! wife & I had a 2 night stay with a pickup truck meet we are members of, warm welcome from the owners nick & sue, lovely cozy log burner we hired 5. 00 inc bag of logs, nick even carried the logs back to our tent, toilets & showers totally immaculate, clean dry hand towels, oh & the barn ! well what can I say, , , , what a place ! yes elvis really was in the building ! we deffo will be returning, thanks for a fab couple of days,
Awesome site! Lovely owners. Big pitches with stunning views of the open countryside, plenty of safe space for kids to play. Fire pits available but probably best to reserve when booking, bags of logs £5 each. They also have large picnic tables that seat 8, dotted around the fields. 3 camping fields, we stayed in the middle field. A few big groups around us that didn't respect the 22:30 cut off for loud music & the large group next to us had music blaring from the car during Saturday day, which was a shame as it ruined the peace for everyone. But that is down to individuals not the owners.
Sue & Nick couldn't do enough for you, 2 of their dogs (Poppy & Dodge) are outdoor dogs & have an amazing life, sneaking scraps of food from the campers & playing fetch with all of the kids.
Nick puts a film on in the big barn on the 16ft cinema screen on an evening, plenty of sofas for folks to get comfy on. On Saturday the site emptied as nearly everyone wandered over to the big barn for karaoke, not our cup of tea but our 'neighbours' said it was an enjoyable night.
Shower & toilet facilities were very clean, 1 toilet & shower for men & the same for women, also 1 unisex toilet & shower. They also have a hairdryer free to use. Not sure about the ability to freeze freezer packs as we didn't need to on this occasion.
Ordinarily we don't return to a campsite but this was so lovely we'd definitely go back!
Cant recommend this site enough! ! Loved it so much we are returning again in two weeks time. Super friendly owners that can't do enough for you and the site is kept immaculate. Karaoke in the barn on a Saturday night, woodland walks and plenty of open space means there's something for everyone. On site facilities eg toilets and showers all really clean and modern. Really can't fault this site. Short walk to country pubs and close to Alton towers, Croxden abbey and other local towns. Amazing scenery and a stunning place to stay as nice and quiet. Found the drive to wood farm quite tricky and was glad I wasn't towing a caravan like our friends because most of the roads in the area are single track lanes with high hedges also couldn't rely on sat nav as even that got us lost. Still hasn't put us off returning nothing could to be honest! ! X
We have just returned from a two night stay at this site. We visited with friends, us in a caravan and them in a tent. All the other reviews are absolutely spot on. From the moment we arrived the owners were courteous, helpful, informative and friendly. They remembered our names every time they saw us and it was like visiting old friends.
We were in the electric hook-up field which had a stunning view. It was so quiet, despite a field full of scouts and their families on another part of the site. We couldn't hear them at all. The field was sheltered from wind, with a lovely patio area. Contrary to my review on the last site we stayed at, the electric hook-up was safe and sturdy with fire extinguishers underneath. There was also a tap in the field so getting water was simple.
The showers were immaculate. At no point was there any dirt on the floors or the toilets, clean towels were provided for the hand basin. I'm still amazed at how clean everything was, how hot the water was and that it was included in the price.
The owner dropped us off some wood to use in one of the many fire pits scattered around. So we had a clear view and a lovely warm fire in the evening. There is a huge barn converted to be a bit like a clubhouse, with karaoke, chandeliers, multitudes of tables and chairs and sofas, a dance floor and tepee.
Hot air balloons and gliders, a clear blue sky, well maintained field and owners who couldn't do enough for us.
Really, what more could you ask for! We loved it so much, we left the caravan there and are going back in a fortnight for a long weekend. They have it just right here.
We have just returned from this campsite. A total of 8 families went, we were welcomed by the owner Nick, who showed us round the campsite, and showed us the barn which he opens on a Saturday night. We were given a field just for the 8 families. The new shower block was excellent and very clean. The owners were friendly who told us the history of the farm, which the children loved! Camp fires in pits are allowed, Nick sells fire wood if you run out. The field was very pretty and the owners have added wooden benches and patio furniture. I would recommend this site. I have only been onto this campsite (just bought our tent and camping equipment)
I can only confirm the previous reviews. Fantastic site and brilliant owners.
Our two teenage girls were entertained by the dogs and we all enjoyed the woodland walk.
The toilets were spotless and warm, the views fantastic even on overcast days and the history of the area was very interesting.
Could even open a car museum with everything from Cortinas to Peugeot 309 fastback. Wow.
Would recommend to anyone visiting the area, especially Alton Towers which is a five minute drive away. Road too busy to walk.
