High Ashes Rural Project Chesterfield

Reviews

1. Bev and Mike Haigh ★★★★★

   We (Grandparents, daughter and 2 teenage grandkids) stayed in the converted barn - Florries Rest for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The kitchen was amazing with all the equipment anyone could need. The BBQ was great and we had many of our meals outside under the umbrella. With 2 bathrooms it is ideal for extended family. With Chesterfield and Matlock short drives away there was plenty to do. Our daughter revelled in doing some gardening (not a requirement of guests!) The High Ashes Rural Project has been set up to provide people of all abilities with a wide range of training experiences. One downside for teenagers was a relatively slow internet. A great place from which to explore or just chill.

   Had a fantastic first visit for the weekend with my wife and three young kids. Location is stunning, campsite was immaculate, very spacious and cosy. We loved every minute and have even booked to go back at the end of the month. It was my wife’s birthday weekend and Phil the owner, who’s is great guy, kindly arranged a home baked birthday cake on our arrival and put up birthday banners. Can’t wait to come back 5 stars all round.

   We had the most magical 3 nights staying in the serenity yurt with our 5 and 6 year old. The staff are so lovely and helpful. You have everything you need on site so it makes it so easy to take kids away and still get back to nature. Thank you so much. We will be back! Tip… take a kite. It’s the best place for flying

   Currently staying in the shepherds hut with my partner and 2 boys. None of us want to leave tomorrow. You just couldn't ask for more at all. Everything is provided, the serenity is untouched, it's just amazing in every aspect we're 100% coming back for a week in the summer. Phil is such a lovely guy, just can't do enough for you. It really feels like you're a guest rather than a customer.

   Amazing, It was so beautiful and the haven ball tent was just like home. It was so warm and comfy. Will be staying again. There were all of the facilities like toilets our own kitchen (with a fridge!) and even inside the tent there was a kettle, heater, table, beds and air beds. Most of all the host was so accommodating he gave us firewood, fresh eggs and milk and a warm welcome. He was also a great company. Lastly, it was very peaceful and calming and there were a lot of ball games to choose from.

   Absolutely amazing, so beautiful. We are staying in the Shepard's hut, which I can't recommend highly enough. Phil the owner is so nice and friendly, would 100% come back here without a shadow of a doubt. Can't rate this place highly enough A*****

   Well what a fantastic place! Arrived feeling thoroughly stressed and within 5 minutes realised I'd hit the de-stress jackpot ... beautiful scenery, a procession of ducks quacking their way to the pond, views to die for and THE cosiest little Shepherds Hut that perfectly balanced modern comforts with olde worlde charm. The bed was sooo comfy! The welcome pack (which included a bottle of prosecco!) had home made jam, giant marshmallows and biscuits perfect for smores, all of which was put to good use on the fire pit which was all laid and ready . There was a pizza oven (also ready to be lit) and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen which was in its own area, although there were tea and coffee facilities in the hut. The adults occupied the generous King sized bed (which I struggled to leave behind) and the kids bedded down on the floor on air mats we brought with us, although there was a carpeted 'den' under the bed as well. With just the one hut we had the whole place to ourselves although Phil was around if we needed anything and we soon realised we had a lot in common so had lots of good chats! The loo/shower room was great, well stocked with lots of eco friendly products (another major thumbs up!). Great places to walk nearby including one of the best views in the whole of Derbyshire at the Fabric and it was lovely to see a newly planted English woodland taking root on the farm :). We will be back!

   Attended a dry stone walking course here. Site is ran as a community venture to provide training and experience in rural activities. Some on site accommodation and the hosts are friendly
