Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 3 Travelling as:  Family with older children
Reviewer: Drivermeg 17 reviews from this member

 Seasonal touring caravans pitched along the outer edges of the site. Spaces for touring caravans/tents along outer edges and in the centre of the field which is gently sloping to flat with electric hookups. One male and two female toilets situated in the pub outer buildings (open 24 hrs). Two male/female showers basic but adequate. An 'out of the way area', ideal for a relaxing break but plenty to do and see if willing to travel a bit. Lovely area of the British Countryside.

Mine hosts make you feel very welcome and offer excellent food at affordable prices and will accommodate with food not on the menu where possible. Definitely worth another visit.

Reviewer: Crofty01 2 reviews from this member

 Wow what a brilliant little site. The site is situated behind the pub and is lovely, clean and well cared for. The showers are pretty basic but again clean with lovely hot water at no extra cost. The toilets are actually in the pub but this does not cause any problems as you are given a code to use when the pub is shut. The owners are really friendly and nothing seems to be any trouble to them always happy to help. The Rooster and chickens are a great attraction especially for the kids, as they wonder around the site. The pub food is excellent along with the range of many different Ales on offer too.

We will definitely be returning to this site and would recommend to anyone.

Well done Waterloo Inn !

Reviewer: CamperKK 1 review from this member

 Booked this place for a weekend after seeing it when had a drink while cycling on the trail, a while ago. Site is small, made up of a few tent pitches and a few more caravan hardstands with hook ups, plus a few statics.

We were with another couple and were put on two caravan pitches with hook up as there were no tent pitches left. Was charged the caravan rate (£15 per night, although we never used the electricity).

Toilets and showers are basic but clean and there is a pot washing area as well(although there was no hot tap working, but we got hot water from the ladies no prob)

Location is great. 5 mins from tissington trail and lovely walks. Food in pub is fab. Better than your average pub food. Also loved the hens!

Definitely would recommend this site.

PS the YHA at Hartington has a great restaurant/bistro for when the pub is full.

Reviewer: Christine anne 5 reviews from this member

 This site is situated behind the Waterloo Public House on the main road in the quiet Derbyshire village. The site is mainly made up of static caravans with room for about six tourers as well as a good area for tents.

It is a clean and well care for site with only two showers for the men and two for the ladies and each pair are housed together with very little privacy. This was fine when we visited in April, but I can imagine it’s a problem in the busy season.

From this site there are many walks and trails, but the big attraction for me was the pub. This was a family run business including help from the grandchildren and very tame chickens which made the stay all the more special.

This real ale pub offers some splendid ales including Black Sheep. The food is excellent and well-presented and I am told it is all local produce, and that the steak I had was from a local butcher, and I can honestly say that it was one of the nicest pub meals I have had for ages and reasonably priced. The whole experience made it a “must return”.

 What a lovely site! Set behind a nice pub and lots of walks nearby. The site was big and had hardstanding pitches. The showers were a bit basic but clean. The only downside was the tap wasn't working to brush my teeth but luckily I could do that in the caravan.

I Would definitely recommend this site for lots of lovely walks and bike rides so ideal if you have a dog (but watch the chickens!)

The staff in the pub were really helpful and were eager for feedback on the site.

Date of Visit: April 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Noodlehead08 1 review from this member

 Fantastic little site, set behind a small local pub that serves fantastic food! Dog friendly although dogs aren't allowed in the pub. Staff very pleasant and set in a great location for exploring the local area. Not much close by with regards to shops etc. But who needs that when you have countryside like that outside your unit. Showers and toilets are quite basic but fully functional. Only complaint would be that there were chickens roaming around the site which was a bit of a concern with our Border Terrier! Will definitely be going back. 


Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Catherine + Ste 1 review from this member

 We came to this site from another close by that was a bit to crowded for us.

This was lovely and quiet. Some 'permanent' tourers so it wasn't busy because they 'weren't at home' at the time we camped. Although it says '7 pitches' on the page there's actually about 20 but I'd say 8 had 'seasonal' residents.

We have a 5 and a 2 and a half year old and it was fine for them. No kids playground but we have a football and frisbee and they were happy.

The pub was great and the food was very nice, even the kids liked it and they don't eat very much. Lol

You just have to remember that it's a country pub so the opening hours are probably different from the norm so booking in or leaving has to be organised around their time (no problem for us but possibly a problem if you want to arrive at 10am. :-)

We even persuaded my in-laws to come and camp with us in their tent and they thought it was great too.

As we have a Tourer we didn't use the 'facilities' too much but we didn't have a problem with them and found them clean and adequate.

The village was lovely and we'd definitely go there again while the kids are small as it was lovely and peaceful with very nice people.

Only problems:

No TV reception so you'd have to have a good aerial (didn't cause a problem for 2 nights as we had plenty of kids DVD's).

Wi-fi is very weak so no Internet access (no problem, nice to ignore work for a couple of nights).

Reviewer: Welltravelled campe 1 review from this member

 We visited this lovely site a couple of weeks ago and were very impressed. The area is beautiful, the pub serves good real ales and great food. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the owners couldn't do enough for us to make us feel at home. We'll definitely be returning, soon.

Reviewer: HazelS 5 reviews from this member

 Very good location for walking. Small campsite with a few resident caravans. Friendly and welcoming, although you must remember to book a table at the pub as they get full quickly and they finish serving at 9pm. They offer breakfast early as well, which is handy if you don't feel like cooking, or of it's raining and cooking is not an attractive proposition.

The facilities are basic. There are 2 showers each for ladies and men, each with a door code for access. The loo is the pub loo, so you're sharing with the pub guests when you're brushing your teeth and there's only one sink. But it's only about £5/6 so all in all good value for money.

There's not much else in Biggin-by-Hartington. But the walking is fabulous.

Reviewer: Daijames 7 reviews from this member

 We arrived 5.30pm Thurs evening, having prebooked and paid a deposit. On arrival no sign of life, pub closed, no information anywhere, at the rear lots of empty pitches, so we pulled up and started to pitch van, legs down, hook up etc. 30 minutes later a woman walks up to us and asks if we have booked, we say yes and deposit paid.

She says we must move pitch, no reason other than they cannot be open 24/7. Now, had we not had commitments, we would have up and left full stop,but a team of Duke of Edinburgh candidates were relying on our support, so we stayed!

The facilities for £13.50 a night were basic, to say the least. We had to request access codes - the showers were fine if you were intimate with your fellow shower user, i.E two showers; one change/drying area!

We will not be returning.
