Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

Liked Fantastic location! Direct access to the Tissington trail. Clean, tidy and well organised site. A bit more structured than I like in a campsite but the pods were great and gave us a bit more space than we're used to. Ensuite private toilet and shower were a big bonus. A warm welcome at check in too even though it was after hours.

Disliked Hard beds. Took a sleeping bag and slept on the duvet provided.

Liked Lovely location. Good size pitch. Helpful staff in Reception. Nice toilet/shower facilities that were kept spotless and in full working order. We were on pitch 1 which was a lovely quiet spot. Easy access to the Tissington Trail right next to the site and good access to nearby Ashbourne and Dovedale. Burger van on site if you can't be bothered to cook, doing food throughout the day. Pitch was fairly flat. Whole site was kept clean and tidy. Not a lot of light pollution so was great for looking at the stars on a clear night,

Disliked The site has a indoor swimming pool, however, it is only open from 10am - 3pm each day and you have to pre-book a slot. Unfortunately this meant that we didn't get to use it, as we were out walking at those times. Would have been nice if it was open in the evenings, so it would be able to use it after being out all day. Also, the site appears to be on the flight path for a nearby airport, so you did get a lot of noise from aeroplanes. This is the first time where we'd been to a campsite that didn't provide wifi for the whole site, which was a bit disappointing.

Liked Grounds very well maintained
Staff all very friendly
Very quiet albeit second week September so kids back to school
Swimming pool great, you have to book but as there was two of us that was no problem as they don’t allow solo swimming

Disliked Toilet emptying along way from tourers
Shower block could have done with cleaning a little better
No views despite being in magnificent area
No WiFi

Liked Fabulous clean well kept Park, friendly staff, easy booking in process, the place is in a Amazing place, one thing needs highlighting the ensuite pod's are not ensuite, you have your own shower and toilet but you have to come out of the pod and walk round the back to a separate unit, didn't bother me but maybe others.

Liked Beautiful Bell tent, clean tidy & the surrounding area is just perfect for a relaxing break. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, super easy to book & a great added bonus.

Disliked The only thing I have to say is the quality of the mattresses in the bell tents, there more like a camping mat rather than a “mattress”. Quick trip to the range & £15 later on an air bed & we were more than happy.

Liked The site was nice and quiet.
Good swimming pool that was very useful when raining.
Nice local pubs for food and drink.

Disliked We asked numerous times to be placed next to our friends so that the kids could play. We were told a note had been added to our booking. We ended up in completely different fields. They had plenty of room around them but when we asked if we could switch we were told that they don't have the power to do this, only head office do.

Staff could do with being empowered to be a little flexible.

We were on a pitched tent plot which, at £68 a night, seemed very expensive for effectively a patch of grass. It wasn't much more expensive to rent a pod with ensuite.

Liked The pool. And the playground.

Disliked Quite a few things. There was only one hook with three pegs in the showers. Nothing to put your glasses on for example. The toilets were not clean. I think because of the many children that stayed.
What i disliked most was the lack of wifi. With the money you pay per night you would at least expect wifi. It was the most expensive stay per night that I have ever had in the whole of Europe.

Liked The peaceful atmosphere.
Tents were lovely and cosy.
Lovely space for the kids to play.
Food vendors were nice.
Really well stocked shop.
Lovely play area.

Disliked Swimming pool opening hours, need to be open longer.
Beds were a little hard.
Needs its own shower block/ toilets/pot washing in the field.
Such a shame campfires arent allowed 😟(best part of camping for me)

Liked Really lovely site! The staff were great, and everything was clean and fresh. The pods were perfect for what we needed. Our own toilet and shower were an added bonus and great for the little ones.
The kids loved the onsite park, and we did a fab walk with them via the Tissington Trail. The pool was easy to book.

Disliked It would have been lovely to be able to grab a cup of tea whilst watching the kids play in the park, and the shop was expensive, but that is to be expected. Overall, no complaints, it was a fantastic stay.
