Hello lovely mumsnetters!
I have seen the brains on here do amazing things before so I'm really hoping for some help.
My husbands friendship group has suggested a big group holiday, as they've all grown up and moved away it's got harder to have meet ups. We're looking at a central location for all of us and trying to do it a bit cheaper as we're not all on the same incomes.
Anyone who has any recommendations I would love to hear them! So far after extensive googling the best one I have found is hill farm in Derby, seems to tick most of the boxes but the website is not great and I can't find any more information about layout etc..
There are 5 families in total, 10 adults, 9 children, one adult and one child are disabled.
I think our extensive list of requirements is not helping too unfortunately.
So said extensive list...
- Must be in or around the Peak District, preferably the lower half.
- A fairly small site, don't want a huge site for the kids to get lost in, it's just a base.
- Must have a range of tent options, a couple of families are happy to bring and pitch their own basic tent, some of us are not happy campers and would only stay if there was a glamping option eg; bell tents/pods.
- The glamping tents/pods need to sleep 6 people.
- We all need decent toilet and shower facilities including disabled facilities.
- Would like a bit of an area for evening socialising, maybe a gazebo/decking/bbq area, we're happy to bring along our own gazebo bbq etc as long as it's permitted.
- Cars need to be able to be parked alongside tents/pods.
- Does not need to have any facilities like shops or restaurants onsite (although would be a bonus!) but if there's a shop within driving distance and a family style restaurant nearby that would be great.
- Website needs to show layout and ideally we could pick our own locations or pitches.
- Electric hookups would be great, it would be incredible if there was something like a fridge in the bell tents/pods.
I think that's it! I know it's a big ask and any help would be appreciated. If anyone has used Hill Farm in Derby your opinion would be welcome too 😁
Thank you for any help offered.
