 Had a wonderful 3 day break.

Lovely site situated behind the Waterloo Inn. The pitches were gravel and all with electric. Surrounded by trees making it very relaxing and pretty.

We booked food at the pub for the 3 days we were there which was great value (discount given) and very tasty. The staff couldn't do enough to help and asked if we wanted another drink when they saw our glasses were empty.

They were friendly and it was great to see Janice who use to work at a village pub nearby. There was a very helpful young man (sorry, can't remember his name) who showed us to our pitch and chatted with us throughout our visit.

The site has a really good set up for "covid", including a one way system in and out of pub and regular cleaning of facilities and a booking system for showers.

The village of Biggin is beautiful with Hartington close by where you can buy food and gifts. There are some lovely walks nearby, including the Tissington trail which you can get on from Biggin.

Will definitely be back and look forward to the restart of the weekly quiz and entertainment.

Reviewer: Annables 1 review from this member

 We stayed here with 2 teens and another friend with adults only.

Overall the site was great, The pitches were gravel, which they were adding too. We were both twin wheelers so the pitches were a little small, but we managed ok. Only issue we had was the new gravel pile was on the road for the exit so when we had to leave, the turn round space was way too small and we got a little stuck due to the wet under ground.

Toilets are open all day and night which is great, the wash areas is suitable, along with the toilet waste area.

Ladies shower was warm and and cubicle ok, but there is not enough room for 2 ladies to be drying and getting dressed (way too personal), best to go with your family/friends.

The pub was very welcoming, we received 20% off our first meal and over the 2 nights were tried quite a bit of the menu, which was all lovely. There's a nice open fire and dogs are allowed so lovely atmosphere.

There are plenty of walk paths should you like to walk in the area. Other than that nothing much there.

Reviewer: Diesel 32 7 reviews from this member

 This is a gem of an old english pub which is full of character and charm. It's not a posh modern chain pub just an old local pub serving well kept beer and extremely good pub food.

The caravan site itself is horseshoe shaped with outside full of seasonal Van's some look like they need some tlc but we have had a rough winter. The middle is for tourers with some hard standing but only for Van's rest of area where you walk is grass. Not a lot of room between Van's so would feel a bit hemmed in summer if using outside space.

Toilets were excellent clean and accessible 24hrs so were separate showers.

Pub staff very friendly and helpful. Entertainment most weekends so it gets rammed.

5mins drive from cromford.

Reviewer: Jegordon 11 reviews from this member

 Received very friendly reception on arrival and was shown pitch & location of services. We ate in the pub on the first night and found the food very good, again service very friendly. The pub had a very cosy feel and served good hand pulled beer.

Showers are near the entrance, used once but didn't like 2 showers sharing one drying area. However, the water was piping hot and the showers clean.

There are several pitches taken by seasonal tourers and felt some let the site down due to condition, i. E. , mouldy awning roof, overgrown around the vans.

Also I don't think there is a ruling on when to be quiet at night as 2 large parties behind us were still playing music and talking at 11.30pm.

Good value for what we paid and in a beautiful area with walks from the site.

 We have just had four nights at the Waterloo Inn over the August bank holiday.

We choose the location for walking in the area. The choice of walks from the site are endless. The Tissington Trail being the main one 3/4 from the site gates.

The site is a bit rustic in places and the pitches are a bit uneven depending were you are. We were on pitch one next to the gate and managed to get our motorhome fairly level.

There are only four showers and the toilets are in the pub. The showers are a bit basic but there was plenty of hot water. There is only one sink in each showers. Being bank holiday they really needed to be more showers but we managed with our own in the motorhome.

We used the discount given with the booking for Sunday lunch and had a nice lunch with drinks for about £20.

 Had a week here end of July, £20 with EHU, showers we never used, toilets fine and clean. Ate in the pub twice, the food is great.

On the Tissington trail which we cycled both ways and took the bikes by car to the Monsal trail, which we both loved and thought was so much nicer than Tissington.

We had a lovely walk into the valleys from the pub, turn right out of site to bottom of road and opposite got through gate.

Very enjoyable week and a plus the weather was a lot cooler than the heatwave in the south.

The campsite is at back of pub accessed by either gate located at sides of pub, it's basically a horse shoe shape with tourers in the middle and seasonal pitches on the outside. Not many children as no play area but plenty of annoying yappy dogs

The front of the pub could do with a lick of paint and a freshen up with flowers as looking very tired for a village pub.

 We arrived here and was shown to our pitch my a very helpful man after booking in in the pub. We were given codes to showers and toilet and a discount voucher of 20% to use in the pub against a meal. The hard standing and electric hookup was good although the surrounding grass areas were very boggy, however it was February and snowing so this was understandable.

We couldn't get a tv signal but this may have been our aerial and no 3g the pub offered free wifi on site though.

The showers were very clean but basic, although the water was nice and warm the room was cold the toilets were located in pub these were also very clean. We had a meal in the pub in the evening and was really good value for money especially with the discount. The food was lovely and freshly cooked and the staff very polite and helpful.

It was a quiet site and very close to the Tissington trail and in a nice little village with lovely views

Reviewer: Explore with Dora 16 reviews from this member

 Stayed here last year and said we would stay again and we just have! Easy to book again over the phone and the paper work was all ready when we arrived. The site still suffers when the grass is wet and because the hard standings are still a bit too narrow it is difficult to get in position without going on the grass. However, this is minor. You still get a 20% discount voucher for food in the pub and we had a really good meal again. The toilet facilities, although rather limited and shared with the pub, are spotlessly clean. There is a convenient fresh water hose beside the outside washing sinks and the EHU's are modern and close to the pitches. I am sure this will not be our last visit.

Reviewer: Explore with Dora 16 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 2 nights to take part in a local walking event. The owners are fairly new and are very helpful and friendly. We easily booked by phoning them and they were helpful when we later phoned again to check that the site was not too wet after a few days heavy rain and to book a table to eat in the pub. (Good pub and excellent food)

Some reviews comment on the boggy ground and as with many sites at this time of year, this could be a problem, but at least they now keep open beyond the end of October and we had no problem. The hard run offs are a bit narrow but OK. (mine is a 6. 36m van)

The toilets are linked to the pub - only 1 gents and could be busy if the site is full - but very clean and tidy. 2 good showers in a separate block, all accessed by key code.

The site is towards the top end of cost considering the overall facilities BUT it does include a 20% discount voucher for eating in the pub and if you do this it does make it good value. We would certainly stay there again.

Reviewer: RickScat 11 reviews from this member

 Just spent five nights on this site. We have been before but are unlikely to return. Why? The site is getting tatty. It desperately needs some loving care. Hard standings getting overgrown, showers need some work, water taps all leaking. Very few sites let a group of young teenage lads on their own have free reign to make as much noise as they like.

Landlady very nice but their facilities are now below par. Also, they try to charge premium prices. They presently do not offer good value for money. Very sad as it is so handy for Tissington Trail and good walks.
