What customers say
Pods praised for comfort, amenities, and thoughtful touches. Rural location & friendly hosts are highlights. Farm animals are a hit! Minor issues: small fridges, mattresses, water taste. Not ideal for older kids.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A truly magical stay :-)
Camping pod
Liked So much! A great location and wonderful, welcoming and friendly hosts. My 11-year-old daughter described it as a ‘magical’ place and I’d have to agree. Beautiful views and great for children to get a taste of rural/farm life. Although it’s so quiet you are also close enough to some lovely village pubs (I’d recommend Sunday lunch at The Kelstedge) and towns like Matlock. The pods had everything we needed for our two night stay - the new owners of the site are aware of some improvements that would benefit the pods further but we found ours to be cosy, comfortable and loved the little touches like the marshmallows (all of which were consumed by the fire :-). A fabulous place. Thank you Toni and family - we hope to be back :-)
Disliked Nothing at all to dislike, but, like other reviewers have mentioned, I’d recommend taking some bottled water.

Camping pod
Liked Nice rural location, the pods were clean and tidy with a handy kitchen with everything you will need to cook including fire pit and BBQ.
Disliked Fridge could do with being bigger had to shop daily which isn’t ideal. Also says sleeps 4 but the beds for kids are tiny one being a fold out mattress so the youngest slept on the floor and couldn’t sleep as was too cold.

Peaceful site with beautiful well equipped pods.
Camping pod
Liked Beautiful, cosy and quirky pod equipped with everything you could possibly need and more!
The owner and staff are lovely and easy to chat to. Staff are also accepting, supportive and inclusive, they have no issues with us bringing our disabled daughter next time.
The farm is idyllic and it's so peaceful there. A little piece of tranquility only 30 mins from home.
I fell in love with one of Toni's horses "hero" and enjoyed my morning chat and "cuddle" with him!
We loved it that much we are returning in 2 weeks with our 8yr old daughter.
Disliked Having to go home and back to reality!

Camping pod
Liked had what was needed, in a small space, tv was good for evening as weather made it impossible to sit outside. Wifi would have made it better as phone signal was patchy.
Disliked be nice to have a fold up chair to go with table instead of having to sit on bed/bench, but may be difficult as pod is so small. Also the water heater was noisy, especially with the wind as bad as it was coming through the door/window too.
Water also smelt and tasted like metal so had to buy bottled water.
