    positive review  A lovely place to spend a family weekend. Our second visit with 3 generations 😀 We love that it's right next to the Monsal trail and this time had a walk into Bakewell. Highly recommended.

  • positive review  Oadby Walking group: We had our anniversary get-together (30 members) and stay with a great Monsal trail walk in November 2017. It was a great stay and the accomodation satisfied all our needs. The administrative staff (Helen and Jill) were very helpful and understood our needs. Ian, the walking guide, clearly guided us with our needs for the walking activity. In summary, the staff were very helpful, the accomodation was great and we had one of the happiest times! Thanks.

    positive review  I loved the place. Great location. The accommodation was very clean and big enough for a large group. Wonderful facilities on site and walking grounds. The Thornbridge hall accross the road is beatiful area to walk and explore. The nearby village of Ashford is beautiful for a leisurely walk. Will recommend to friends.

    positive review  Excellent spot for a group of friends to gather. We were a mixed group of family and friends of all ages. Facilities are perfect and location is really good for walking biking climbing and general outdoor messing about. Nice biking areas on site and a little bouldering wall. I left a heart rate monitor behind which they very kindly and promptly posted back to me. Couldn't recommend enough.

Testimonials from the 2021/2022 academic year

As always, it has been amazing from learning how to put on a cougale to the view over the bridge.  Everyone has been so helpful.

A Sheffield school, February 2022

This is our first stay and it has been brilliant!  Particular thanks to our instructors and the catering team.  We have loved every minute!

A Derbyshire school, February 2022

Fantastic stay, children loved it!

A Sheffield School, April 2022

Loved it as always!  Thank you 😊

A Sheffield School, June 2022

Our children found the whole experience brilliant.  We are from a school which is in the middle of a town and even seeing cattle/animals in the surrounding fields was a source of amazement.  The activities were a challenge that we cannot provide in school and families will never provide.  I am confident that we will be booking again in the future.

A Sheffield School, June 2022

Loved it, great spot, will return!

Family Group, September 2021

Overall very good accommodation, Lovely touches for tea, coffee and milk. Will definitely be back.

Family and Friends Group, December 2021

Lovely short stay at Thornbridge in the Woodlands. We have disabilities within our family so the accommodation was brilliant for us. Lots of room for the little ones to run around inside and out. Always warm and cosy and all the facilities we needed. Set on a beautiful site a very relaxing stay all around, thankyou.

Family and Friends Group, December/January 2021

Our second family stay here and we really enjoyed it 😊

Family, January 2022

The Woodlands building was outstanding. Our Mountaineering Club has stayed in many mountain huts, but this was up there with the best. Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. We would recommend Thornbridge Outdoors too any Outdoors Club, University or School.

Mountaineering Club, March 2022

We would definitely use again. Perfect for an extended family gathering.

Family Group, April 2022

Fab – thanks!

Family Group, April 2022

We’ve had a lovely weekend – thank you. We’ve met for May BH for nearly 30 years in different accommodation & this is right up there with the best. We aim to book for next year.

Good stay. Overall all good.

Family and Friends Group, June 2022

An excellent facility, which is very well maintained. Located in a ideal location for cycling. We will be back!

Cycling Club, June 2022

We had a really good weekend at Thornbridge, almost 200 people on site but the space available and the hostel and camping options together, made it still feel like a smaller and friendly event. I’ve only had good feedback so far from people about the accommodation and facilities, and the range of activities available in the local area.

Our instructor for the Outdoor First Aid Course was outstanding. He was charismatic and knowledgeable and made the experience very memorable.
