Liked: Wonderful views, plenty of space for children's games and some hedging for shelter. All the important facilities were there, in good working order, clean and easy to find. We particularly appreciated the washing up area, deep freeze and fridge, socket for recharging and individual toilets with decent sized basins.
Staff were helpful and friendly.

Liked: The site was very well maintained and the facilities were great!
Toilets and showers were always kept clean and there’s plenty available so we never felt like we had to queue or wait.
There’s also pot washing facilities and freezers for your ice packs too!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, there’s plenty to do in the local area too. Would highly recommend this site.

Liked: We had a fantastic time at the campsite! The pitch was very clean, and the staff were absolutely lovely and friendly. Although our stay was too short, we truly enjoyed it—especially the kids! We wish we could have stayed for a whole week. Overall, a great experience and we can’t wait to come back!

Liked: The facilities are very good, clean and well maintained.
Disliked: The site was a bit exposed in bad weather and there were fences with barbed wire which snagged my jacket which I was a bit gutted about.

Liked: Lovely site. The view from our tent was absolutely stunning. The owners were very friendly and came round every afternoon to check everything was ok and bring logs. The facilities were always nice and clean and never too crowded even when the site got busy. Lots of showers that stayed warm even when others were using them at the same time. The site is close to some beautiful walks and only a short drive from Chatsworth House Estate, Buxton and Bakewell. There are shops nearby and take away options are pinned up at the information point should you need them.
Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us but we had a great week nonetheless. It is definitely a site we would book again!
Disliked: Nothing!

Lovely walk right on the doorstep and only
10 minute drive from Bakewell. It's dog friendly too!
Disliked: There was barbed wire over the top of all
the waist high fences. When we took our
tent down a gust of wind blew it towards
the fence, causing a massive rip in the back
of our tent.
You can't help the wind at all, but I don't
understand why there is so much barbed
wire on a campsite!
Everything else was
great, but because of this we wouldn't stay
here again.
