Great site, shame it’s such a long way down to Buxton

We loved this site especially having a dog as the walks are great. If you want to walk to Buxton, you can thro the woods which is very pleasant but quite steep and once you reach the bottom, to get to the centre of town is still quite a walk. Then getting back is quite tiring! The facilities are very nice. We had a service pitch but unless you’re there for more than 3 days I wouldn’t bother as there are nicer pitches that are standard ones.

Empty pitches

First visit after refurbishment wanted to arrive earlier but site was showing full up so couldn’t. Wish we had rung the site to check. However when we were there it was also showing full but on walking round the site there were 22 empty pitches. So why does the web site show it is full ? This is not the first time we have noticed this when on other sites. I could accept there are some cancellations at the last minute and expect a few empty pitches but not 22. The club is missing a lot of income showing sites are full when they are not. Can anyone explain why this is happening on a regular basis ?.

Excellent site and staff

Excellent site. Good information sheet with good explanations regarding many things which included how to walk via the woods to the town (excellent walking with the dogs), and the pub recommended was fabulous. The refurbish makes it attractive (very much matching the setting/views), is quiet, with nice large plots. The staff were super friendly too. Despite asking other C&MC staff at other sites about my problem with the van TV ariel socket and how to overcome my problem the staff here were knowledgeable. The problem was with the conflicts of 2 ariels and not our van TV socket. Thank you Buxton staff for solving this for me. TV ariel leads also sold in the shop for those who didn't have one. Sometimes I think the pricing is quite high on the C&MC sites for what's on offer, but this one earned every penny.

Peaceful with varied walking opportunities

Stayed on site for 3 nights. Very good quiet site with good level pitches well spaced. Phone and tv signal problematic as the site is hidden in a quarry although there is a tv aerial hook up on the pitch. First class shower and toilet block. Large showers behind door with curtained off changing area with bench and plenty of hooks. Pleasant walk from the site entrance up to the hill to Solomon's temple and from there you can walk down through the woods to the edge of Buxton, although it maybe a pull up the hill on the return. There are walks which can start at the site and head off into the moors.

Excellent site but disappointed about the tree and bush hacking that has taken place

We have been coming here since it first opened and seen the trees and bushes mature. Now they've reburbished it and chopped down a lot of the trees and bushes making it look a bit barren again. These bushes were a haven for birds so it's such a shame. The loo block is lovely and very clean. The bushes made the pitches at the south end very private but now you are seen from everywhere.

Well maintained, quiet site

We spent five days at this site and could not find any faults, lovely spacious pitches, clean facilities and site. Ideally, located for walking into Buxton and other local towns. It was a peaceful site, possibly due to it not having a playground, but that suited our needs.

Excellent refurbished site.

Lovely site. Spacious pitches which are very easy to get on and off! No mud even though it was rather wet when we were there. Lovely walks. Great for dogs. Friendly team. Can't think of a negative apart from may not be so good for children. We only had a short break but hope to return.

A Great place for a break

The site has had a full refurbish and is a brand new site. The pitches are all nicely laid out with plenty of space. The site is situated in a quarry with Buxton country park right next door, great for walking especially if you have a dog, you can walk into Buxton, but it is uphill back. There is some great walking in the area and is a good place for relaxing holiday. If you do not use the site WiFi you can really get away from the outside world as there is no mobile signal. TV signal is limited we did get a few channels, but there is the option to connect to the aerial booster system if you want to have TV. We will definately be back again in the future

Get away weekend

Well not often do I review places but this site was worth it. Situated in an old quarry you will never get mobile signal. But that’s the beauty of this place you do get a chance to be away from the dreaded internet and emails Yes there’s the club WiFi and it works......well you all know about that lol New site gone through refurb so its bound to be good. exceptional in its location bunkered well down from the prevailing wind in the lower to bottom half of the quarry and great walks from the site Walking into town Well first it’s up the gradient from the local car park to the top and behind the quarry wall, then all downhill to Poole car park. This walk is tough on the knees and unless your a good walker it might be considered a challenge to others. However once your off the hill it’s all pedestrian paths and crossing roads to the bottom which you enter the pavilions park. Wonderful site small lake , children playing coffe shops etc. Through the park takes you into the small town.great little antique shop on the corner which we were told was filimed by tv .......you know the flog it style programmes lol. The walk can take about 20-25 min dependant on your pace but with the better half n two little dogs it went quickly.. The local taxi firm A cabs was worth a shout on the way back only £6 to get back up the hill after a glass of the bubbly So back on site chilling and watching the Sunday gang packing up and moving out ... The site well worth a visit and worth the twisted route over the dales to,get here
