Liked: So peaceful and a beautiful site. We were there mid week and I'm sure it will get busier at weekends. Fantastic walks from the site and an amazing cloud inversion over Hope valley in the morning. Didn't quite make it for sunrise so definitely need to go back!
Bridleways and footpaths direct from the farm. Seems to be some new footpaths as well dropping into Castleton from the FP at the back of the farm - and also one that takes you to the Access land over Winnats Pass. My OS map isn't that old either. But great for access without having to walk on the road. Also another path from the bottom of the farm track to take you onto Winnats Pass access land - again meaning you don't have to walk on the road for that sunrise shot!
Facilities fine. Didn't use the showers as only there for one night and didn't actually have any cash on me anyway.
Disliked: Personally i'd prefer the cost of the showers included in the pitch fees. I do get caught out now by the fact that I rarely carry any cash.
Other than that absolutely nothing to dislike about this site.

Liked: Great location. Simple facilities, but everything there that you need. If you are going with caravan, the entrance to the pitches is very narrow.
