White House Farm Campsite, Wardlow

60 units · Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · Wardlow, England
What a little Derbyshire gem: back to basics Whitehouse Farm Campsite is a simple site in a most scenic setting five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Tideswell. The site’s central location in the Peak District National Park means it’s a top spot for those who want to ramble or ride bikes – several circular trails leave from Tideswell and the traffic-free Monsal Trail is a five-minute drive away. And there’s plenty more activity if you require it too, as activity centres nearby can sort you out days of horse riding, abseiling, climbing and caving. All this activity isn’t mandatory, of course – this is an equally fine location for days pottering off to local pubs, pigging out on pudding in Bakewell or taking a leisurely stroll around the Chatsworth Estate, 20 minutes away. And if even that’s too much, you’d be welcome to spend some time loafing about on site: there’s heaps of space here, and as facilities have been kept quite minimal (just showers and toilets) there should be a good serving of peace and quiet to go with it all. Guests are welcome to light up a barbecue or campfire for cookouts and keeping warm; Tideswell’s the place for supermarket supplies, and it’s also handily got a fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs for days when your firelighting skills aren't up to much.

Grange Wood Glamping

5 units · Glamping3 acres · Staffordshire, West Midlands
‘The Grange' B&B at Lower Loxley Staffordshire is just off the main A518 Stafford Road, 3 miles from the old market town Uttoxeter. Only 400 metres down a country lane is a very special place. Mary’s family have farmed here since the seventies and on her parents’ retirement, the modern agricultural buildings were taken down and the original brick buildings were converted into homes for the family. Mary and Mick moved here in 2006 and Mary with 20 years of experience of farmhouse bed and breakfast with Mick’s help set about the task to make ready for ‘pgs’- paying guests. The Grange BB opened it’s doors in 2007 with 3 bedrooms for guests and visiting family and has been an on-going project ever since. Mary and hubby Mick have devoted the following years to developing the 4 acres of grounds into a garden of which 3 acres is woodland. A ’pop-up’ glamping site was developed in 2015 and a local business held ‘hencamps’ in bell tents during the summer months. This was very successful and the demand for bigger groups soon outgrew what Mary and Mick offered here at The Grange. In 2021 (post lockdown)the idea of Grange Wood Glamping was sown. A small off-grid ‘pop-up’ glamping site - 'OWL CAMP' -for couples or alternatively a limited availability May-August for groups of family and friends, with sole use of the site with no minimum but a maximum occupancy of up to 14 people under canvas. With additional accommodation for 6/7 in the B&B rooms for those whom ‘off-grid glamping’ is really not their thing. With a mix of Glamping in luxury belle tents and bed and breakfast rooms, this is a great place to spend time with your family and friends for that extra special celebration or just a catch-up with your nearest and dearest. A perfect private space making it possible for friends and all of the family to gather together and meet up in one place. Contact the owners at The Grange to discuss your requirements. We are adaptable, approachable and happy to help. QUIET CAMP after 11pm Grangewood Glamping has 3 tents, sleeping up to 12, a gypsy caravan sleeping 1-2 available with a 2 metre cedar wood-fired hot tub and basic off grid facilities in the 'camp area' but has additional on-grid facilities in the main buildings (The Mess) The Mess - available from 7am - 11pm has: .a wash room with an electric shower, 2 flushing toilets and wash basin .kitchenette and dining area with, power points, kettles, microwave, fridge/freezer,foreman grill, slow cooker and electric 2 plate hob. All neccessary utensils, crockery, cutlery and PC glassware. All of the facilities including Hot Tub are completely exclusive to your group. All firewood is provided.
