 This was our first outing in a campervan and chose Barn Farm because we wanted a small site with walks and pubs within a short distance.
The site was exactly what we needed. There were no tents at this time of the year and only a dozen or so other vans and caravans so it was beautifully peaceful. The silence at night was amazing.
The facilities were superb; taps by the pitch, really clean toilets and super-warm shower block. There was no shop due to Covid so bring what you need.
Lovely walk to Stanton Moor and Nine Lady Stones. Good route to Winster and a great pub, The Miners Standard, just above the village.
There are 2 pubs in Birchover, a few mins walk away. The Red Lion was great and the Sardinian chef does amazing food.
Altogether a great intro to campervanning but there is a lot of camping space so could be busy in season. At this time of year - brilliant!

Excellent service, beautifully clean camp site. Facilities were constantly being cleaned.
Great adherence to social distancing and a clever traffic light system for using facilities. Staff were helpful and friendly. Excellent site.
Only thing that brings my rating down to a 9 is the peacocks! Look stunning but incredibly loud at 5am! If you're a heavy sleeper or early riser you'll be fine!
Would definitely return.

Great campsite with good, clean facilities,
Real shame shop wasn’t open due to COVID,
Lovely views and walks but a map would have been useful!,
Handy being near the park, would be better if there was 2 parks for different ages, little one’s were just sitting on the slide crying, and older one’s sitting on the swing on their phone.
But definitely will be going back again 👍🏻👍🏻.

Excellent facilities that were extremely clean.
Just one fault and that was the extremely loud peacocks which crowed from around 4am every morning waking us all up.
Very friendly staff though and the place was kept immaculate.

Great really well organised and friendly site with a great location and fantastic views we will be back.

The site is expansive but has good facilities which are increased with clean portable units in peak times.
The site is billed as family friendly, whuch it is in many respects, but I would avoid it during peak times with young children.
There is meant to be no noise or loud music on site after 10. 30pm. This is a bit late for a family friendly site where there are young children.
Also, nothing was actually done about loud music playing, which went on until after midnight.

The site had beautiful view and fantastic facilities.
It was a very windy weekend but the trees protected us and the warm shower blocks made it very comfortable.
We love walking and found some amazing routes. The only disappointment thing was that we did not stay long enough.
Definitely going back again.

Well
What a gem of a site.
Welcoming, clean, great pitches, not a pice of litter on site, Which is a credit to the staff and those using the site.
Toilet showers very clean, also handy litttle shop on site.
Phone single was a bit crap in the area, but then again I switch mine off when am away.
Play area was great for kids, and at around 22-30 23-00, if by magic the whole site goes quiet.
Peacocks well, never seen so many in one place, and a pleasure to see. And they do not affect your stay.
The cost of a pitch was also great value. And a good size.
Pitches are limited for caravans. So make sure you book and not just turn up.
Tents well, loads of pitches for them, DOE awards, also use the site a lot as well.
Local village as 2 pubs, both well used by the sites guests, & site not far from Bakewell, Matlock.
Am sitiing here thinking of putting something negitive in this review.
But to be honest I am finding it hard to find one!
Really great site that I will be going back to soon I hope.

We booked for the bank holiday knowing it might be busy and the owner confirmed this when we booked. He also explained that the peacocks can be noisy early in the morning and was open and friendly on the phone.
The site is well situated on the edge of a small village, with lovely views from most pitches.
Birchover has two pubs, the Red Lion (dog friendly and brews its own beer) and the Druid (also dog friendly), which was an early gastro pub but seems to have fallen a bit on hard times.
The campsite shop sells milk and limited groceries plus ice creams and sweets etc. Over the bank holiday they had an early morning bacon butty wagon, afternoon ice creams and pancakes and fish and chips in the evening. There was also a temporary kids bouncy castle and climbing wall in addition to the small playground.
The walk to the historic Nine Ladies Stones on Stanton Moor is direct from the site and less than 30 minutes. You can walk to Rowsley past the Stones and there are paths to Winster and other local villages and hamlets, so plenty of dog walking opportunities. As motorhomers we don’t like to move the van once pitched, so with a small shop on site, local pubs and great countryside we had no problems with this.
Despite the very busy bank holiday weekend, the site still maintained a great family feel. The site staff were continually cleaning the toilets and showers and at no time did the site feel overcrowded. This is a great credit ot the owners and staff who clearly want to make money but to offer great service in return. The site is clean and well maintained but still retains the farmyard feel and is ideal for those who aren’t keen on the overly regimented Caravan Club type sites.
Very handy for Bakewell, Chatsworth and Matlock.
