We stayed for a week end of May. The campsite was in a very rural location so very quiet (apart from a few planes landing at Manchester haha) plenty of wildlife roaming about and been adults only no screaming kids (bonus). The tent pitches are laid out a bit strange, not the closest to the facilities block and on a slope so when it raining it flowed downhill towards the tent. They do have other pitches near the main caravan part, I would recommend trying to get a pitch here, a bit flatter and closer to the facilities. Facilities block very clean and nicely heated with plenty of showers and toilets! Good shop and brownie points for the vending machine if you fancy a quick hot chocolate! Great location for visiting Bakewell, Buxton, Matlock etc. Would advise to give Buxton market a miss and go to the one in Bakewell instead, about 20 times bigger! Make sure you visit Chatsworth, definitely worth a day out! I would definitely recommend this park but like a said try and get a pitch in the main caravan bit.

I am pleased that you liked the quiet location, the cleanliness of the facilities and the abundant wildlife. The field where the tent pitches are has been lowered by about 3ft on one side and raised 4ft on the other, but there is only so much levelling that can be done; as you said there are the pitches on the main field as an alternative. It sounds like you managed to get out and enjoy much of what our location has to offer. Thank you for your review.
Without exception, the best campsite we’ve ever stayed at.

What a lovely place to stay! From the pre-arrival information to make sure we would get there ok, and the friendly welcome and helpful staff, beautifully clean and well cared for grounds, to the super facilities on offer… this really was the best campsite we have ever stayed at. Also, a super touch having “take away” nights… we loved the pizza on Saturday eve and the breakfast rolls Sunday morning. I know other places do this, but to have them delivered straight to our tent is another level. We will definitely be coming back very soon! Many thanks

What a fabulous location. We have had a great stay on a tent pitch which are all gravel and grass, surrounded by trees to protect from the wind and super peaceful. The communal facilities are clean and modern with absolutely everything you could need. Adults only but very dog friendly. And they offer pizza 'takeaway' nights, delivered fish and chips and delish Sunday morning butties delivered directly to your door. But the staff add that extra magic. All are helpful and cheerful, nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Very nice site, just what we needed. Very quiet, clean and in a good location. We even had a sauna! You can order Fish and Chips and Indian and they will deliver. You can borrow books and games, play pool and darts and there is a small gym. We will return one day!

Would be good to warn travellers about the state of the local roads, need the massive potholes repairing asap.
Site's response
Thank you for your review, I am glad that you found the staff to be friendly. I agree with you that the pot holes this year do seem to be particularly bad, but this is the responsibility of the local council rather than ourselves. I would fully encourage anyone to report problems with the roads to them.

Great adult only site. However, it felt slightly repressive as the restrictions were a bit too heavy. I won't go into detail as I would stay again for sure, but I think the site need to think about their clients as a human who wants to get away from life/the world/rules and regulations. Maybe take the 'no dogs allowed sign" off the shop door and/or the toilet door for starters, just saying. But we had a great trip in a great location, and were great campsite hosts, just a few tweaks to make, or not as the case may be. All said with love.
Site's response
The rules that we have in place are the reason that a large section of our client base come here. People like our adult only policy and see it as a something a little different, and it gives them at better chance at tranquillity. Equally, people come here for the quiet, which we enforce with a no noise policy. I am sorry you felt this is repressive, but we feel we put an offering forward in a consistent manner which some like and come here for, and if this isn't what people want, they can choose to go somewhere more appropriate. Looking specifically at some of our dog policies that you mention, we are dog lovers, and feel with our 4 acre dog walk and dog wash we provide some great facilities. However, not all of our clients are and we feel the need to take them in to consideration as well, particularly in communal spaces. Also, there is a hygiene element with places that serve food, which is why most supermarkets don't allow dogs in. I hope this answers some of your queries.
Excellent for humans and dogs alike!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Longnor. Beautiful, quiet spot. Friendly helpful service, clean shower/amenity block and functional little area for dishwashing - kettle, toaster etc! The vending machine is also a bonus for those late night cravings 😂 Thanks for having us, we'll be back!

Thank you for this excellent review. I am pleased that you were happy with our facilities and found the staff helpful. We deliberately had the vending machine put somewhere to have access round the clock, so I am glad it is getting used. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Great place for relaxing and forgetting about the rest of the world. The only criticism I will give is that if the reception/ shop was manned during the opening hours, I would have been more likely to visit the shop as I felt uncomfortable ringing the phone number provided.
Site's response
Thank you for your review. I am glad that you found the site to be relaxing. There are a huge amount of jobs that need to be completed on the site on a daily basis, and it isn't always possible to have someone in the reception / shop. There are also times of the year where is just doesn't make commercial sense to have someone sat there. We are always more than happy to come back when called though.
Excellent stay

We found Longnor by chance as our weekend of sport had been cancelled. A fantastic location with so much to see and do. The site is very clean and it is a peaceful location. We will be back.

Lovely site in a beautiful location. Wi-Fi not very strong, keeps dipping in and out. Also, not the site's fault, but local taxis to say Buxton are about £30 each way.
Site's response
Thank you for your review. I am glad that you found the site to be clean and tidy. As a knock on of our rural location, we have had to get a satellite link rather than it coming up the phone line. Sometimes this can dip a bit with the weather. Yes, it would be much better if we had a cheap local taxi.

Lovely park in a beautiful location. Greeted by friendly, helpful young lady who showed us to our pitch. We were invited to stay later (complimentary) as our pitch wasn't being used the next night! Due to other commitments, we were unable to take advantage of this kind offer. We will definitely return here for a longer stay. Thank you.

Fantastic site with lots of amenities including a dog shower room. Everything was nicely spaced out. The toilets and showers were all clean and had plenty of space in cubicles. Only drawback was the area rather than the campsite - we didn't research properly before booking and struggled to find well signposted dog walks around the area once we'd left the site. I'd recommend looking at your activities before you come.
Site's response
Thank you for this great review. I am glad that you had everything you needed and found it spacious and clean. Generally the sign posting for walks in the Peak District isn't great, but there are lots of websites and apps to find routes.
Excellent

Only downside is there are no pubs/takeaways within walking distance! But the park itself is lovely, was quiet but we did go in October. Clean facilities, nice that the shower block has heating on and isn't cold! Would come back.
Site's response
Thank you for your review. Longnor does have a pub and a fish and chip shop, but I guess that walking distance is quite subjective. It is a shame you weren't here on the Thursday before or after your stay, as we had a pizza van come up to the site. I am glad that you found our facilities to be clean. Hopefully we will see you again in the future.
