Enjoyable weekend.

We both enjoyed this site and found the staff friendly and very helpful. We know the area well but there are always plenty of things to do in Buxton and surrounding areas. Lots of walks etc and plenty of coffee shops. pubs and eateries. The site is in a lovely situation, phone signals poor but this does not bother us as trying to get away from it. Appears safe for children and good little play area. Only down side is the water pressure but that is the only problem. Lovely place.

Beutiful Buxton

A lovely site in an unusual and pretty location. Housed in an old quarry and surrounded by high cliffs and beautiful countryside. We found some lovely walks just outside the site and the Kids were never in the caravan with so much to explore. We did the go ape experience in Buxton and it was great. we will certainly intend to visit this site again. Toilets a bit old and showers had very little pressure but the wardens kept them nice and clean.

One of the staff was very rude

The lady was very nice and helpful as was the other 2 men but one of the men was very rude, didn't get his name.  The toilet block and particularly the disabled toilet was very tired and it was quite inconvenient that the disabled block was closed between 10.30 and 12 noon whilst it was being used as a standby toilet, being disabled I find it very difficult to get up early as I cannot move very well until my medication has taken effect, it's a fair sized site but only having one toilet block is not really suitable, also the water pressure is very low, you almost have to run around in the shower to get wet, if only I physically could.  That being said I was ill on the last day and I was able to book an extra day last minute as I would have been unable to travel that day.  Warning if you haven't been there, the pitch we were on was 59 and all of the other pitches around that were quite diceiving and it slopes quite steep so not easier to level your awning without gaps at the bottom. Not as nice as other sites we have been on, especially the lack of mobile signal and slowness of the Internet.

Break away from it all

As I've read on previous reviews the site is desperately in need of upgrading. The toilet block was badly in need of a little care and attention, the wardens did keep it lovely and clean though. The pitches seem to be okay but quite short in length, our tow bar was hanging over the edge of the pitch as were several others. Again not sure if will go there again but maybe will check it out once work has been completed.

Good site in need of attention.

We liked this site, but found the facilities in need of update (although I think we did see a sign saying it was going to be done). We weren't very blessed with weather, so it was a soggy weekend for us, the play park was virtually unusable and the walk to Buxton damp. (Can't blame the site for the weather though!) Not sure we would return in a hurry, certainly not until the facilities are upgraded anyhow.

Nice location

Just arrived home after 8 nights at Grinlow. Site is in a lovely position Wardens are friendly and helpful. Very disappointed with the toilet/shower block it is passed its sell by date and the showers are the worst we have come across on a Club site. There also needs to be more water & waste locations around the site as they are very thin on the ground.

Pleasant site

Pleasant site with some nice walking on the doorstep.the wardens were very friendly and helpful.the only thing that is letting the site down was the toilet block needs updating seems very tired compared to other sites other than that it was a great stay here.

Peaceful but beware!

Great idea to turn a disused old quarry into a hidden Caravan Club site.We have been a number of times and always enjoy it and find different things to do each time we go.Walked in Lathkilldale and Deepdale on the latest visit.However, beware if you select to stay near the grass triangle (pitches 98 etc.)Someone has decided to place 3 useless large rocks left over from the quarry near the perimeter of the grassed area. I accidentally drove into one in the dark and did over £1000 worth of damage to the car.From what we could see on our latest visit,other people have collided with these stupid obstacles.They serve no useful purpose-(someone drove between them and straight across the grass while we were there!)

Stay at Grin Low

Just spent five days at the Buxton caravan site. Very clean and tidy. Didn't use the toilet block as always use our own facilities so cannot comment. Walked up to Solomon's Temple and went exploring in the car. Found a delightful pub called the Knights Table. A little way out but good food.

Great site

Great site and well located to access the lovely town of Buxton. Having the Grin Low Country Park on the door step was particularly good for dog owners like us. The walk to Solomens Temple and Poole Caverns was very pleasant and the views spectacular. The site was well laid out and the staff were excellent. My only minor concern was that the toilet block could do with updating and shower water pressure was not as good as other sites we have been to.
