Relaxing Easter Break

First visit to Blackshaw Moor & it won't be our last. Wardens friendly & site in lovely condition, toilet blocks spotlessly clean. Good walks in area, especially from the site to The Roaches & Hen Cloud, which give excellent views of the area. A walk following public footpaths through fields takes you into Leek in about 1.5 hours. Buxton 20mins by car. Cannot comment on TV reception as always use satellite dish when on site. However on top level of site, nobody complained about TV reception to my knowledge. Two pubs within easy walking distance, prefer The Rock myself as The Three Horseshoes staff were not very welcoming and the food did not inspire. There are several good pubs in the centre of Leek, but public transport is not very good, about 4/5 buses per day. The last bus back to the site leaves leek at 16.23!! Overall a very nice few days in the Peak area.

A good site for a restful weekend break

We have not visited this site before and were pleasantly surprised by the location with its view of the Roaches and the nice spacious well laid out site. Generally few complaints ; only the slippy and muddy dog walk where the spreading of wood chippings had been abandoned before completing the whole path and the poor tv reception. Apparently, there was water in the bollards. However, the wifi worked perfectly so not too bad. Will definitely return.

First outing

We chose Blackshaw Moor for our first outing, and we're not disappointed. The staff were excellent, the facilities clean and well presented in a beautiful part of the Peak District

Great site

Lovely site, clean and warm shower block. Very friendly, helpful wardens. Good location and nicely kept site. We were near the roadside of the site, which was a little noisy early Monday morning but we could've moved if we'd have wanted to, which we didn't. Highly recommend this location

Weekend stay in March

Weekend break taken purely to trial our new van. Facilities as expected from any CC site; clean, recently modernized and warm. Really friendly and helpful wardens. Booking in a pleasant experience, and given some great help and advice concerning TV ariel, including the purchase of a new TV hookup lead, much better quality than the one it replaced, and cheaper. This is a tiered site set into a hillside, we were on a service pitch. Perhaps one of the most private pitches we've had on a CC site. Perfectly level. I imagine in later spring through to late autumn the site looks beautiful, (ie when all the trees are in leaf), but at this time of year it did feel a little bleak. The farmer located next door livened the country air somewhat with his weekend of muck spreading. I don't mind the occasional bit of, country air, but this was full on, not the sites fault though. Not a great deal to keep the daughter entertained, (10). I did ask her what to put in the review, and she wasn't totally negative - the little park located on the top tier was good for younger children she stated, but the lack of space for ball games and the (rightful IMO) ban on bikes and scooters made this site a little dull for her. Popped into Leek on Saturday, great street market with some fantastic local food stalls. And a pub that shows football, (let the DD and OH view the market whilst I sampled the local ale and watched the end of a match). Small Asda handy from the site, but not really walkable. To summarise, helpful and friendly wardens, easy access and spacious fairly private pitches.

Great Welcome

We've just returned from our first outing of the season and with the glorious weather sneaked a full seven nights at this wonderful site. With the warm, friendly, helpful and welcoming wardens we soon felt 'at home'. The toilet blocks were in excellent and immaculately clean condition. The pitches well spaced on level hardstandings. TV reception is not too good but we did not let that spoil our stay. The grounds are well kept and the friendly 'Chester', the spaniel supervised all the maintenance work with keen attention to detail and an ever wagging tail!! There is plenty to interest everyone in and around Leek and Buxton with the Roaches and reservoirs providing splendid views and varied bird life and other wild life to watch. The Three Horse Shoes Inn/Restaurant/Hotel and Spa is but a short walk from the site entrance with excellent food and drink. This site is highly recommended and a return visit a must. Very well done CC and Wardens.

Our stay in March 2015

Lovely site and is well placed for visiting some Nation Trust properties in Staffordshire. Nice large hardstanding pitches ideal for this time of year. Very friendly, helpful wardens and immaculate shower blocks. The shower blocks only have two showers so your best not trying to attempt a shower early morning. We only have two negatives which are poor signal for TV and electric cut out on fridge when there was a surge of electricity being used. Leek a lovely small town with markets Wednesday and Saturday.

Great Views

Just returned from our short break here, enjoyed it immensely. The view of the Roaches is great and the surrounding area is beautiful. Leek is a lovely small town with plenty of tea rooms etc. Buxton is well worth a visit. The National Trust properties of Lyme Park, Little Moreton Hall and Bidulph Grange are all only a short drive away. The site itself is well maintained, clean and friendly. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We hope to return soon. The only negative is that the T.V. reception is poor, but if you want watch TV stay at home.

Great welcome

Only our second time at this site, it's only about 25 miles from our home and like so many we always think we have to travel miles. The site had only been open for one day and what a great welcome from the wardens. The pitches are terraced so we went away from the road, there can be some road noise but this didn't bother us. As we are in a motorhome it was nice to have public transport only a few minutes walk away.
