Ernest’s Retreat

Em va agradar Location and facilities were exceptional and staff extremely helpful and friendly!

Em va agradar Brilliant location, very nice views, clean showers and other facilities.

Em va agradar Hosts were amazing! Site is exactly what we needed, and they provide everything you could need.

Em va agradar A lovely peaceful site with fab views and great facilities. We booked a camping cabin which was for myself, partner and our 8 year old and it was perfect. The cabin was super spacious and the windows were great as we had a really hot day so could keep the air flowing in. We noticed how quiet they were inside, which meant we all had a great sleep unlike when we go camping in our tent. Toilets and showers were great and the addition of the food van on the Saturday was good, the site had everything we needed and a great base for exploring the local towns like Bakewell and Matlock. We will deffo be back!

Em va agradar Peaceful safe site, friendly hosts, clean shower and toilet facilities, good location for visiting the area e.g Matlock farm park, Bakewell and walking routes

No em va agradar Nothing

Em va agradar Surprisingly warm and spacious. There was an oil heater which i was relieved about in case it was quite cold as we went during Whitsun, but we didn’t even need to use it. I would say its warmer than in my own home without the heating on. Had light switch and electric so could plug in anything we needed. There was a kettle provided with some complementary tea/hot chocolate sachets/biscuits etc which was nice. The french doors meant that during times when it was raining we could still sit and look out while keeping warm and dry! Good view for watching the sun rise in the morning! Water in the toilets and dishwashing area was nice and hot! There is a big freezer in the dishwasher area where you can keep your own labelled food and there are also some ice lollies you can buy by using their honesty box. Toilets were clean and always stocked up with sufficient toilet roll and soap. Washing up area clean. Site overall was clean and tidy. Theres a grassed area where kids can play ball games etc. Great location as near the town with shops and also near to the parade which has plenty of ice cream parlours/sweet shops, fish n chip shops, amusement arcades.

No em va agradar Was given a wifi password but it wasn’t recognised so didn’t have WiFi for any of our time there.
Different food trucks come on some of the days. It was good to have but they do take a very long time to cook everyone’s food. Its quicker to drive into the town and get a takeaway.

Em va agradar Very clean site, everything you need and attentive hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back soon

Em va agradar Everything was really nice staff friendly and just a phone call away if you need anything nice and clean toilets and showers

Very nice view to wake up to

Em va agradar Really lovely site, fabulous glamping huts which were well designed and more spacious than expected. Very clean facilities. We were running later than planned and Laura very kindly waited for us. Very friendly family. Fab views. We would definitely stay again.

No em va agradar Dislike is too strong a word but the shower was a tiny bit on the hot side. The two parts to the matresses on the children's beds in the glamping hut could maybe do with some poppers on as they kept slipping off in the night. Neither of these things would stop us staying again though!

Em va agradar Kettle with tea coffee and even hot chocolate!!! Double bed was more comfortable than some hotels and heater kept it perfectly warm. Food vans were a huge bonus and well priced and good quality both days. View is spectacular and location ideal for exploring the peaks.A very friendly welcome and a nice couple of walks directly from the site.
