Absolutely brilliant place to visit, especially if you like wonderful countryside and a touch of the old curiosity shop idea

Friendly, informal site with stunning views. Clean toilets and showers and washing up area. Owners are friendly and helpful. Site is not too big so doesn't feel crowded. More...

Truly wonderful. Hosts were so kind and the tin tent was so special.

We stayed for three nights of camping with an electrical hookup. We found the place by chance when we wanted to book somewhere at short notice, and didn't put much thought into it, but it turned out great. The field for camping is on a hill with amazing views, but flat and easy to pitch on. We had the most enormous storm on our last night but the ground was fine. Great sunset views. The facilities are maybe a little basic to some and I guess they could get busy if there are lots of campers, but they were just fine for us. Very clean, and hot water always available quickly, which is not always the case at other sites. The farm is an active one and tractors regularly crossed the field as they were gathering the hay, but we found this interesting and not a disturbance. The site is well located for Ashbourne, Ilam and Dovedale and easy to find as it is on the A52 between Ashbourne and Leek so you can't really miss it. All in all we had a great stay and thought it was very good value. More...

Enjoyed our camping trip, the site is quite big, good for children, the children can go feed the animals at the farm on a morning, which they are given a fresh egg for helping from the chickens. The owner took the children around the site out on the tractor which was different and they thoroughly enjoyed it.The campsite itself was quite open to winds so quite cool most nights, maybe could do with bushes/trees around the perimeter.The showers are very inexpensive, the rest of the facilities spot on too, would recommend.

We have just gotten back from a bank holiday weekend glamping adventure at Emily’s and Bill’s Farm. |Our girls (aged 6 and 7) have throughly enjoyed a few days of freedom in safe exploration on the farm, tending to the chickens, collecting eggs, feeding and running with Elliot and Stella (adorable baby lambs) and feeding the pigs! |Our pair of toddlers (1 and 2) have been most welcomed and accommodated too. |The glamping accommodation was perfect for us, really beautifully and eclectically decorated, providing all necessary items for comfortable camping! The facilities are brilliant too, really clean and cared for and clearly well thought about.|We found Emily and Billy Whizz to be friendly and really caring and we will definitely be highly recommending their business and intend very much to re-visit again in the future. There is also lots of really lovely places to visit and eat locally. Thanks so much for a perfect ‘friends catching up’ weekend! More...

Stayed here for one night, and will be going back very shortly!||At £14 for a non hookup pitch it was an amazing price and place to stay! ||The toilet facilities were spotless with lovely rustic features which were easily accessible. ||The hosts were incredible and were always on hand, and we took their advice on where to walk (thorswood nature resurve) and the views were beautiful!||In the evening we had a firepit hired out from the owners and roasted marshmellows :)||Overall its a beautifully well kept camp/glaming site and we will be back.||||Thank you to Sarah and Whizz for having us x More...

We’ve just arrived back from a few days glamping at Mount pleasant farm. The accommodation was great with really comfy beds . The views and sunsets were amazing made even nicer with alfresco dining using the outside Oven. The kids were in their element riding bikes in the fields , feeding the pigs and generally being free to enjoy themselves in a safe environment. Emily and whizz the hosts couldn’t do enough for us even giving the kids a ride on their tractor ! We had a fab time and can’t wait to book again ( hopefully before the end of the summer if there’s any vacancies! ) More...

Went glamping for the first time, would definitely return to Mount Pleasant Farm! Emily was very welcoming, helpful and the children loved helping her with the animals, and going on the tractor. Everything you could need utensil wise and comfortable bed! Easy to access washing up area and bathrooms (always clean during our 4 night stay.)||Within 10 minutes of Alton Towers which was very handy. Couldn’t recommend this place enough for camping/glamping. More...

Perfect for us! We were greated by Emily who was lovely! She showed us to our glamping hut which had everything we needed and she had added extra blankets and heaters as it was going to drop cold. The outdoor cooker was great! Scenery was stunning and there are lovely open fields around you.Toilets and showers were well equipped. Hot water... clean... plenty of loo roll... soap... towels etc. What made it for us was the animals and Whizz's awesome museum! We loved all of the animals but particularly cheeky Axle the horse and placid Marley the donkey! Whizz's museum was a treasure trove... We could have spent hours in there!We hope to visit again soon!

We stayed here for one (wet) night in early September. Its a really nice site, with loads of space to put up the tent and for the kids to play. Facilities were good, and what you'd expect for this style of site. Having an electric hook-up was a bonus! The owners are really helpful too and made us feel really welcome - thank you! More...

Fantastic little campsite, if you want to just get away from it all and relax! Lovely owner who greats you on arrival, giving you tips where to go and what facilities are close by. She encouraged our children to go meet the resident Sheep and pigs and go off exploring the acres of land around the camp field which they didn't need asking twice! Facilities are simple which is what you would expect for £18 per night (a pitch for family of four with electric) but we didn't need anything more. We normally go to campsites with a shop and park so thought the kids might complain but they loved it and said can we come again! The showers were immaculately clean and yes you need a token (50p for 6 minutes) but there is a valid reason why they need to do that and we totally understood so wasn't an issue. Thank you Sarah and Whizz we will definitely be back x More...

We love mount pleasant for its relaxed atmosphere, friendly owners, clean site, convenient location for the peak district and low fees. The site is in an very peaceful part of the area, far enough off the main roads to keep noise down, but close enough to be extremely convenient. Highly recommended.The high elevation and exposed field can be surprisingly chilly in colder months, so go prepared. More...

We booked two glamping huts and had 4 tent pitches for a long weekend with extended family. The site was fantastic, well kept grass areas and the glamping huts were well equipt, clean and cosy. Sarah was excellent in the organisation and very friendly. I would recommend this site to families as its small and clean and safe for the children. The kids loved the animals and the space to play ball games. Well done guys! Its also a beautiful area of England More...

We stayed in a large family group at this very good campsite. Some of us stayed in tents and some of us stayed in the Glamping huts. The ground was flat and there was plenty of space for our group of 4 large tents and lots more space for other tents. So a great areavfor children to play and for a large group like ours to sit around a campfire having a sing song! There are two rescue ponies, a couple of pot bellied pigs and sheep..,so great for kids. Plus lots of great walks round about. we loved the museum!||We oldies stayed in the Glamping huts which were very clean, comfortable, well equipped and warm wwith a big area in front for games etc and with truly fab views, a wonderful sight to wake up to. Showers and loos just a few steps away. ||I think a small fridge would have been a good idea? But anyhow there was a fridge in the barn- which we could all use.||There was a small washing up area with plenty of hot water, washing up liquid etc. ||Everyone is very friendly and helpful.||My only gripe, and it is my ONLY gripe , is that I felt the shower and toilet facilities were very basic with no privacy whatsoever. The two wash basins in the Ladies area were in the public area so if you just wanted a wash (and sometimes it's quicker and often the showers were in use by Mums and kids)you would have to do it in full view of everyone else......including the gents and anyone washing up, who would be able to see you through the window! I'm not sure about the Gents but I think they had even less facilities than the Ladies. Having said this the toilets were cleaned regularly and were spotless, but I do feel a little upgrading would be a good idea. More...

We came to Mount Pleasant after a very bad experience at a campsite nearby that had sadly left us with no weekend accommodation for our friends birthday weekend. |We had googled nearby Glamping sites and came across Mount Pleasant, the phone was answered by the owner Sarah who kindly agreed to accommodate us for the weekend, despite the fact she had intended to take no Glamping bookings for this date due to important family commitments.|We arrived and was blown away by the beautiful view from our Glamping lodge and how lovely and quirky the farm was.|Sarah was amazing, she took us and showed us around and we were so relived to have found such a beautiful place to spend our weekend.|The attention to detail was second to none, Sarah had decorated the lodge stunningly and supplied everything from crockery, cutlery, utensils, glasses, mugs, kettle, toaster, freshly laundered linen and plush furnishings.|The toilet facilities were really well maintained and even down to the washing up area where she supplied all the things needed.|This farm had some lovely animals including the adorable pigs who ate all our scraps and the gorgeous Shetland ponies who we loved to watch playing in the paddock in the morning.||What a lovely little gem this place is, well done Sarah and we will most definitely be returning!
