Date of Visit: November 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Dave2300 5 reviews from this member

 We were looking for a site to get away from the local firework display in town as our dog is frightened by them. The moment we arrived we felt like regulars with the warm reception we received. A good hard standing pitch we were soon up and running with brilliant views across the peak district. Time for dinner. Our dog was allowed in the pub and sat quietly while we eat a lovely meal. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and with very full stomachs we retired for a peaceful evening. Facilities on site are second to none and cater for the disabled as well. Thank you and we will be back.

Reviewer: Bossian 3 reviews from this member

 Was looking for a site near or next to a pub in the lower peak district area and found this little gem!

Booked for a 3 night stay over the August bank holiday weekend. Arrived on the Friday afternoon and found that we were warmly welcomed by Keith the proprietor and Tilly the site warden. They helped us find our pitch, No:14, and guided us in.

What a great site. Best pitch of the site me and the wife recon, the view was amazing and as promised, a nice level hard standing pitch. Whole site is well laid out and the facilities are top notch, immaculate and very modern.

Decided to stay on site the first night and eat in the pub. The food was exceptional and the service second to none! I have to praise the fact they peel and slice their own chips! Great to have a perfect steak with proper home cooked chips! none of this frozen crap you usually get.

Nice that the warden, Tilly, comes around and checks you alright and everything is Ok.

Deffo would recommend this site to others and will deffo go there and stay again.

 Excellent modern shower block (but no hooks by the sinks for some reason and nowhere to put your soap, etc. In the shower cubicles). Why don't campsite owners try using their own facilities? Good choice of grass or hard standing pitches. Great views and close to the end of the High Peak/Tissington trails. Its main attraction is the restaurant in the pub. The food we had was first class. However there are no specific facilities for kids.

One major complaint. Because you can book only on-line you cannot avoid a mandatory charge, even for debit cards. Ryanair used to do this and even they have now dropped it. This site should do the same.

Would I return? Possibly, but only because of the restaurant. 


Date of Visit: July 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Speedway 3 reviews from this member

 We stopped at the Duke of York on our way home to Norfolk from Wales at the end of July 2015. This is an easy to find site, which is accessed by driving through the pub car park.

We had reserved a pitch, and booked in at the bar on arrival, and at the same time reserved a table in the highly recommended restaurant for our evening meal. We were shown to our pitch, number seven, which was a hard stand with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. There was plenty of room on site, and we were surprised it was not more busy.

The facilities are excellent with what appears to be a fairly new toilet and shower block. Taps and electric hookup were close to hand, and we didn't really notice any traffic noise unlike another review I read.

There is an adjoining tent field, which is large, but has quite a severe slope. It was totally empty when we visited at the end of July 2015. There were no children's play facilities when we visited, so not ideal if you have kids.

I would agree with other reviewers that its an expensive site, but it was convenient for us as an overnight stop. They were happy to accept a booking for just the one night, which is unusual for a site in July.

The meal in the pub was excellent! It was worth the visit for the food alone. The service was top class, and not badly priced either. To summarise, they appear to be developing this site to make it really nice. The facilities were good, the food and friendly staff very nice, but I do think if they lowered the price slightly, it would make it better value for money. Some people won't pay that sort of price for a pub site.

We would certainly stay there again, but not for more than a few days because of the cost. 


Date of Visit: June 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Reddymic 4 reviews from this member

 At £25 a night this is not value for money which is a shame. I can see why it's so expensive, they are trying so hard & doing so much work to make this site better. The views are amazing (if other caravans do not block your view) but the road noise out ways this. The A515 is a very busy road. The toilet & shower block were very clean. I think £25 is expensive for a shower block. All seems newly built. New trees planted & looks like a new gated entrance. We stayed here for the convenience of the pub being on site but you MUST make sure you book a table in advance as there were no bookable tables on the Saturday night. I spoke to Chris the manager & stated how disappointed I was & he managed to fit us in at the very beginning of the sitting & we were so pleased. The food is AMAZING & recommend a visit for this very reason. We would stay on a different site due to the road noise & price but we would definitely eat here again. We think you they need someone to walk the grounds every so often as this would cut down the noise from neighbours music & dogs to be kept on leads. They are trying so hard to make this a better campsite but I don't think I would stay here until the road noise was blocked out by the trees once they have grown.

Reviewer: Marknine8475 1 review from this member

 Site was good and the views were fantastic. Facilities were sufficient for the size of site but no shop as stated on the facilities. Price was my biggest issue. Was quoted 25 a night when I booked in April but actually paid 30 a night over the bank holiday weekend. Prices had been increased at the end of April, they should have made people more aware of the fact.

One of the first sites I have been on that has charged extra just because it is a bank holiday. It is a good site but not worth the pricetag 


Date of Visit: April 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Sandiepants 1 review from this member

 First visit to the Duke of York - new site facilities spotless. Owners very friendly and helpful. Great site if you like walking. The pub is great ended up eating there twice and we only had 2 nights ( very dog friendly - more dogs than people one night !) Will be back and will not hesitate to tell our camping friends how great this place is.

Reviewer: Taylorn54 2 reviews from this member

 Campsite was good, toilet block clean,

We had to book for a minimum stay of three nights as it was a bank holiday and where allocated pitch 24, But there are unknown pitches! On Sunday night we returned from a day out to find a campervan and awning within a meter of our van. When we complained we where told that was pitch 24a and there more unknown pitches on the site.

We will not be returning!

 Did you stay at this campsite between Dec 2014 and February 2015?

Raw TV are making a Channel 4 winter weather documentary about people who enjoy the outdoors in the winter time. They have been filming in the Peak District and are looking to get in touch with any caravanners who have stayed at the site at the Duke of York, Pomeroy, near Flagg, Derbyshire this winter. They are looking for any short videos people have shot on their smartphones or cameras during December, January and February at the site, either from inside a caravan or outside.

Please email [email protected] to get in touch to find out more.

Reviewer: Fiznlil 53 reviews from this member

 Our 3rd visit, still love it.

Keith, one of the owners stopped cooking during Sunday lunch service and towed us out with his Discovery wearing his chef whites when our snow chains broke on our second visit end of January What a hero.

On our visit last weekend we find they have now put clothes hooks in the shower/loo block.

Date of Visit: February 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Rutland-Vagrant 4 reviews from this member

 I winced when they told me it was £20 a night even in February but now I've been I think it was worth every penny and I can't wait to get back. I was attracted by the photos of the view and I wasn't disappointed: a huge vista over miles of the Peak District, I just loved watching the snow and hail storms as they blew across the countryside. The location is great, only a short drive out of Buxton and yet you really do feel you have got away from it all here. There are nearby footpaths if you like walking and there is a field adjacent if you want to give the dogs 5 mins. The facilities were superb: stylish and spotlessly clean and delightfully warm. The Duke of York has a restaurant that is popular with locals; the bar had a good atmosphere that makes you feel like you are welcome - the real fire added to the effect. My only gripe is that it was a bit pricey. Very pleased with the hardstanding pitch with EHU and water. This site is relatively new and can only improve over time when all the new hedging that has been planted matures and offers some shelter from the biting winds - I just hope they don't obscure the fantastic view. Overall, the site is a credit to the management and I wish I was still there! 


Date of Visit: December 2014 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Fiznlil 53 reviews from this member

 Reluctant to leave a good review as I want to make sure it's not full the next time we want to visit!

Spent 3 nights over the worst weather period, thick snow and biting winds. The managers and the wardens did a fab job to make sure no-one was disapponted over New Year. Even after getting a tractor in to clear the ground of snow, it was still bad, so they went the extra mile! Caravans and Motorhomes were parked on the site roadway and on the pub car park as half the site was not useable, but EHU was avaialble for everyone. Lovely atmosphere was created.

Fabulous views, very close to High Peak Trail for walking. Morrisons supermarket 10 mins away in Buxton for supplies.

Shower block and loos spotless with underfloor heating. Small niggle - somewhere to hang clothes perhaps? Not a big deal, I just threw them over the door top. Tent dwellers may appreciate a hair drier.

Pub has good food - good quality cooked from scratch 'pub fayre' and priced appropriately. Real ales well kept and good price, wine a bit expensive at £16 for bottle of house.

Keith and Chris the managers are so much fun and the wardens, Phil and not sure of the lady's name are so helpful. A really hardworking team. We will be back!

Reviewer: Tazman89 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a fantastic long weekend from the Duke of York. Campsite lovely. Clean site with friendly staff. Will definitely return in the near future and the food was outstanding with very quick service and a lovely atmosphere. Just a shame the weather was not a little better, but it was November 


Date of Visit: September 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: StephenJColeman 5 reviews from this member

 This is a great new site. The site is well laid out with lots of taps available. The toilet block is new with great facilities.

The location is very handy for the High Peak / Tissington Trail and the pub has great ale, food and customer service.

All you need for a great break.

Minot improvements needed; Some decent hooks in the toilet block, PIR internal lighting time need extending and a grey waste drain is needed. 


Date of Visit: June 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Kargus 36 reviews from this member

 Pros

Beautiful clean showers, real shower doors as well not curtains.

Toilets all good too, all kept clean

Lovely views

Signs for all the amenities clean, funky and well presented

Warden on site, but leaves you alone unless you need him

Pub on site obviously

Free Wifi in the pub, not much of a signal near the bottom of site, or in area really

Tissington Village and tearooms worth a chilled out visit.

Dog exercise is a big field so plenty of room but we didn’t use it as we have an elderly boxer who can walk far these days.

Cons

Only 2 showers and 4 toilets for women and same for men on a site with 60 pitches with tents so could be a queue when busy, didn’t bother us as we ended up on the Monday with the whole site to ourselves.

Pitches quite close together – you wouldn’t get your caravan/motorhome with awning and a car on the pitch, Luckily we parked on the empty hardingstanding next to us, but if busy then you would have to park your car in pub car park, or try and squeeze it on the front of caravan space if not too big a car.

No grey waste disposal, you just pour that away into the grass by the walls/trees near your van.

No running water at the chemical waste point, so you cant wash your chemical toilet out, or wash any waste away in the toilet area.

You cant get onto the site until 2pm which is a bit of a waste of a day on a Friday if you are only going to the Sunday, as you have to leave by 11am, not so bad if you are there for a few days or a week.

There is some noise from the road being the A515, but didn’t detract from our break.

Those are the main points, it’s a basic site, with amenities but having seen how much has been spent on the facilities block, another few pounds would be beneficial for having a hose at the chemical point, and having a drain or something where your grey waste could go.

On the whole we had a nice time, weather was average but warm, but it’s a walkers paradise, so it wouldn’t matter what the weather was like for dog walkers and walkers.

Would we go back – yes we would but again when not busy.
