"Just returned from a week at Birchwood Farm. The site"
10-Aug-2009
Just returned from a week at Birchwood Farm. The site is lovely, with great views, but it is all sloping and the toilet blocks were filthy. The owners couldn't have been nicer, or more friendly, but the facilities really let this site down. During the week it was reasonably quiet, but the campsite was heaving at the weekends, and four showers were completely inadequate for the number of people.

"We have just returned from a long weekend camping at"
05-Jun-2009
We have just returned from a long weekend camping at this site - It was fantastic. The mile long drive way kept us in anticipation, but then you arrive to check in, at the most beautiful cottage. The pitches are on fields and there's plenty of room, they are not marked out and squashed together like some places, just pitch where you like. It is a farm so we got to see chickens and cows, which the children loved. You can walk to Matlock through the woods and down to the canal which is beautiful. It cost £11 per night for four of us in a standard tent. I think its extra for things like dogs and gazebos. There were electric hook ups and water available and a freezer for your freezer blocks.
Nearby was Cassington Water, Matlock and Matlock Bath, Buxton, Chatsworth House, Ashbourne and Bakewell.
The toilets and showers were alright but it was a busy weekend so there was a queue. We will definitely return there again as it was lovley.Read moreLess2 people found this review helpful.
