Rikki G.

Shepherd's hut

Liked The site is absolutely idyllic. I stayed in the shepherd’s hut with my six year old daughter. We felt very safe and relaxed. My daughter absolutely loved the tree swings, the animals and the hut; she was so carefree for our entire stay. The hut was cosy with multiple outdoor seating areas overlooking the pond (including mother duck and her chicks!)
The accommodation is well-equipped but unpretentious. The toilets are very well-kept and pleasantly decorated, and the camper’s kitchen was a surprise bonus - under-cover, sink, fridge, freezer, storage, all crockery and cutlery, gas BBQ and pizza oven! Tea, coffee, a kettle and heater in the hut were a nice touch, too.
We had the whole site to ourselves for the first night and it felt like a real treat.
The owner is lovely and very friendly to talk to.
A perfect stay - I couldn’t fault it.

Haven bell tent

Liked Perfect peaceful spot. Loads of space, nature and privacy. lovely place to escape to recharge your batteries and reconnect. Host is friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Bathroom and shower is top notch , very well equipped kitchen, comfy beds. Easily accessible by public transport. Lots of fun little bits for the kids to explore and discover, such as swings, swing ball, dart board. We didn't want to leave.

Haven bell tent

Liked Amazing place, can’t fault it. Phil and Ness have thought of everything and are so friendly and accommodating. Tent was beautiful and cosy in the wet weather, outdoors chilling areas were gorgeous in the sun. Kitchen fully equipped and with bbq and pizza oven! We loved the ducks and the views the most. Will be back as soon as possible!

Haven bell tent

Liked We have just returned from a 2 night stay in the Haven bell tent. The area is beautiful, even though we are fairly local, we had yet to explore this area of Derbyshire. There are walks from the farm.
The tent was so cosy and comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed and the site was spacious and well maintained. I loved the shower room, really well designed with unusual finishing touches.
Phil was so helpful and was a pleasure to chat with.

Disliked Could possibly do with fencing off the individual camping areas so other families don't keep interrupting you (imagine this isn't usually an issue but the odd one-off)

Serenity bell tent

Liked Phil and the owners were extremely kind and hospitable.
From extra wood for the fire to a full assortment of cooking dishes, they provided us with more than expected amenities and we relished our time at the High Ashes Haven. The campsite itself was beautiful, just the perfect setting to detach from the usual city atmosphere.

Local attractions

You can join up with the 34-mile Chesterfield Round Walk right from the site for a circular tour of southern Peaks countryside (it's split into sections with parking and bus links if you want to take it easy). A 10-minute drive takes you to the Peak District National Park, crisscrossed with walking and cycling trails for all levels of fitness or heroism. Even if you only make it down to Ashover for a pie and a pint, you'll see some classic countryside, so bring your camera along wherever you roam. Fishing enthusiasts can follow the stream out of the farm for a mile to Press Manor Lakes, where there's coarse and fly fishing for trout and carp as well as fishing lessons for those who want to hone their angling technique. Family days out nearby include Gulliver's Kingdom (15 minutes' drive), a dinosaur-studded theme park with log flumes and courage-testing rollercoasters. It's also worth taking the cable car from Matlock up to the Heights of Abraham, a hilltop park where you can venture into massive underground caverns or climb and swing in adventure playgrounds. Within a half-hour drive, you can see how the other half lives (or lived) at the historic estates of Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Bolsover Castle. If you fancy galloping across the hills like country squires meanwhile, there's horse riding and pony trekking at Matlock Farm Park (10 minutes from the site).
