Visited this eco site for the first time and was very impressed. Just a few minutes from the motorway and into a lovely setting. Beautiful, well-maintained site with lots to keep all the family entertained – nearby lake and canal for fishing, café run by volunteers – had a cooked breakfast Sunday morning – what a bargain!
Great walking and cycling area. We had a lovely walk along the canal into Chesterfield where there was good shopping, great market, lots of pubs and restaurants.
The wardens were very helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. There was a slight odour coming from the recycled water system but it was not a problem. We returned to this site in May and the problem had been resolved.
I give this site 10 out of 10 and will definitely be returning in the future.
We have just returned from a weekend break at Poolsbrook, what a beautiful site.
On arrival we were met with very friendly staff and this continued throughout. The warden also spoke to the children which I always think is nice - they so often get ignored. We were informed properly when we booked in how you are expected to position on your pitch. The shop sells a few necessities including great value ice cream.
We chose our pitch - lots of space on pitches - the best we have had so far!
The facilities were brilliant - showers are great again plenty of them, plenty of hot water, plenty of space, very clean and modern. Have to say we never experienced any funny smells.
Lots of good walkways/cycle paths. The lake is nice to sit beside and let the kids cycle around. The cafe by the lake looks very nice (although we didn't use it this time) will remember it for future visits.
Stavely is only a few minutes walk away, it has a swimming pool and gym facility. There is also a Morrisons. The town itself was a bit disappointing though.
The only thing lacking was somewhere for the kids to play ball games.
We would have liked to stay longer and will definitely return.
Just got back from a great bank holiday weekend, this site is lovely, but it had the most awful smell. The site is a eco site and uses used shower water to flush the toilets, this gives off the most horrible smell. What ever time you go to the block even if its 4 in the morning you feel as though you have walked in to the toilets after someone has done a number 2 when they are ill.
On the bright side the site is really well kept with very friendly wardens, it has a kids play area very close to it with a little lake that the kids can easily ride a bike round. Morrisons is just a 2 min ride away in the car. There is also a swimming complex also a short drive away so if the weather is really bad you can still keep the kids entertained.
I will go back but use my own tolet/shower, like other cc members I spoke to, I feel this site should reduce its prices a little due to the awful smell. I hope the caravan club read this review and maybe do something about it, like mix the water with some nice smelling chemical. I give the site 2 out of 10 for site facilities as I feel no one should feel sick when try to take a shower, clean teeth etc.
My wife, two kids, our Dalmation dog and myself (Dad) spent one night at Poolsbrook Caravan Club site and we love it.
We arrived and the Wardens were so helpful and could not do enough to ensure your stay was trouble free.
The site has undergone massive changes and the shower / wash block was second to none. Wonderful hot and clean shower block and even with a full site, the block was amazing clean and always warm and always had enough of everything to cater.
The Country Park right next door and within 80 foot of the sites gates is beyond expectations and has a cafe, playground and wonderful views.
The cafe offers good value for money and also has duck feed so as to feed the the foul proper food.
The local town of has a Morrison's and normal small town shops but I would recommend the Chip Shop next door to the Queen Victoria pub. Massive portions and very cheap prices for a very good price.
There is no dog walk on site or playground for the kids but the country park next door is a wonderful location as a playground for the kids or to just have a stroll round the lake or as a dog walk.
Spent 5 nights at this great site. Very easy to find,just off M1 junction 29a. Toilet block was spotless,and the showers have constant hot water. Pitches are really big,you can get car,caravan and awning with room to spare. This site is great if you like walking, bike riding or just relaxing. There is a small shop on site selling essentials. Three fishing lakes are just a stones throw away, its a lovely walk around the lakes in the evening. We will be going back.Very soon.
Just spent 5 nights on site - lovely, new, clean, level, good size pitches, can not fault the site and layout, toilet block in the middle, plenty of water and waste points.
The lake is just outside the gates, down a slope, plenty of Swans, Canadian Geese and Ducks (protective over their eggs) understandable. Nice playpark for children.
Stavely can be walked or cycled to by a path at the site entrance that comes out behind the leisure centre - across from Morrisons. Stavely is being improved, but it is a bit rough, there where shop lifters being brought out of Morrisons as we went in.
Chesterfield is a nice place, lovely shopping square (monday main market), found the roads busy, so go early, as the day went on the car park spaces where like hen's teeth.
Newark is a nice place, good shopping, river walk and Brownhills Motorcaravan Centre.
Derbyshire is is nice place, lots of places to visit. Enjoy
Good site and the regeneration of the mining area gives great hope. Obviously it'll be a few years before the trees mature and hide the local industry.
Typical Caravan Club site with toilet blocks so clean you could eat off the floor.
Must plug the local micro-brewery - Squires Brewery - which is on the industrial estate by the site. Great people and lovely bottle conditioned beers - enjoy and revel in the lack of beer miles !
This is a nice liitle site, very clean and tidy as you would expect from a cc site,hard standing, grass and serviced pitches available, all pitches lookes really big, plenty of room for a large tourer awning and car. Just off the site near the entrance is a cafe that opens wed to sun,prices are reasonable as well, also a kids enclosed play area that over looks the lake.There is a swimming baths, supermarket a couple of pubs and a few other little shops within easy access, would take about 15-20 mins on foot or a short drive in the car.Ask at reception for directions. You would get lost if I were to give you them.!(ive no sence of direction).
This site is very peaceful, will I go again. Yes yes yes,
This is a brand new caravan club site with the facilities you would expect from the club. The toilet block is large and airy, with plenty of showers and toilets and a baby and toddler wash room for the under 4's.
The site is mainly hardstandings with a few grass pitches in between. It is well laid out and the pitches are level and very spacious.
Attractions nearby include the park within which the site is situated. Our 2 young boys enjoyed cycling around the lake and playing on the playground. There is no play area on site but it is only a short stroll down to the park itself.
The trans pennine way also passes right by the site, ideal for cycling or walking. The Peak District is nearby and there are lots of houses and gardens etc to visit. We went to Hardwick Hall and Chatsworth House during our visit.
There is a Morrisons which is only a short drive or walk away from site.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this site and would recommend it to anyone.
This is a new club site in the Caravan Club portfolio and was opened in March 2008. Once the site of a colliery, the land has been transformed into a lovely Country Park with a Visitor Centre, café and children's adventure play area. The site is an integral part of the Country Park and is well secured with barriers. It incorporates a number of sustainable resource and energy features. There are fishing lakes and extensive trails for cyclists and walkers.
Covering 5 acres the site has 86 pitches, mostly hardstandings, a great toilet block, and we recommend it heartily. Caravan Club members only are admitted.
The surrounding area is interesting and attractive - try Chesterfield for instance. Staveley is being refurbished from a rather run down mining town to a modern and vibrant shopping centre with restaurants, pubs, supermarkets etc.
