Liked: Absolutely stunning views at this campsite and we will definitely be back a few more times this year! 😊 The site only has basic facilities with only 1 toilet, however this didn't bother us, we loved how this felt kind of close to wild camping. Plenty of gorgeous scenic walks nearby and we spent an evening in the local pub too which is within walking distance. 😊

Liked: Great location, 15 minutes from Castleton. We got up and did Mam Tor for sunrise, it made it easier only being 10-15 minutes away. Toilets and washing up area was kept very clean. We stayed for one night and it was a perfect set up.

Liked: Perfect place to stay, very clean and well kept.
Disliked: Nothing to do with the place. Unfortunately there was a family too loud and I had to leave earlier than expected. The problem were not the children but the temperamental father shouting at them.

Liked: The farm had lovely views and was so peaceful and quiet. In a lovely area not too far from Buxton village which would definitely recommend visiting. Lovely place to visit if you also have children.
Disliked: I have absolutely no idea why anyone would recommend the local pub - The Devonshire Arms. Wished we hadn't bothered booking for a meal. They didn't even pour my wine in a wine glass. It was in a glass you would have a cordial in. The food was ghastly. Bisto gravy, undercooked chips, I've had a nicer frozen pie from Aldi (definitely not homemade steak and ale pie) My partner got a huge slab of Stilton on his burger that was hard and stone cold - I think the chef should know your supposed to melt the cheese on the burger. Quality of beef burger not good. Very over priced for what you get, restaurant prices but Greene King quality. There was only one other table in there and it was absolutely no wonder. Not a nice atmosphere.
