Was there last weekend. The taxiways are very muddy but the rwy is ok. The best way to join from TNT is to pick up the M1 and turn and descend dead side just to the north of the three wind turbines out to the west. If its rwy06 in use, then yes, you must land on the numbers as its downhill. Rwy24 you can afford to land a little long as its uphill. I fly out of netherthorpe in a C172 and easily get in and out ok. A C152 will do it just fine.
Hope you enjoy it. And yes the cafe is great.
