Lovely stay and would recommend to family and friends. Would be nicer if closer to local pubs and restaurants but this is compensated by the amazing views.
Site's response
Thank you for your review, Georgina. We are grateful for any recommendations that you give us. I fully appreciate what you are saying about the pubs etc, but as you say, the views, and I would say, the quietness, are the trade off of being up the hill here. We are also looking to offer pizza on site, but this will be in the future. Hopefully you can come again and try it when it is up and running.
A great place to stay

This campsite it great if you fancy a few nights of peace and quiet. It offers fantastic views, top facilities (on-site shop, showers, pot washing station, toilets, laundry room, chemical toilet disposal, electrical hookups, fresh drinking water, parking, and more) and lots of local things to do. The staff were very helpful and polite. My only criticism is in regards to the tent pitches. Since you are pitching on pea gravel, the floor of your tent can be uncomfortable to walk on in socks/bare feet. Luckily, we brought some picnic blankets to put down as a makeshift carpet, which managed to make it easier to walk on.
Site's response
Thank you for your review, Matthew. It sounds like you managed to have a nice tranquil stay with us. I am really pleased to hear that you liked the facilities and that the staff were helpful. I appreciate what you are saying about the pea gravel, but we found in the past that by this time of year, the grass would be dead, and it isn't possible to replace it between guests and it tie in properly. I am glad you managed to find a solution with your blankets though.

Great place to stop. Clean & tidy and well kept. Good location to get about. Great for dogs. Suites couples or traveling on your own. Quiet and in a lovely setting. Customer service could be improved upon.
Site's response
Thank you for your review Ian. I am pleased that you liked the location and found us to be clean and tidy. I usually get a lot of very good feedback about how helpful and friendly the staff here are, so can only apologise if you didn't find it to be that way. Hopefully we can improve your experience if you choose to visit us again.

Staff were very accommodating and welcoming. Pre paid pitch fee is a first for us. The prescriptive emails with site rules seemed a little over the top although the advice regarding the route to be taken to the site was very good. Well maintained site with adequate dog walking facilities. Elson disposal cleaning would, in my view, be easier without a rose fitted to the hose (I accept a very minor point but sure I'm not alone).
Site's response
Hi Nigel, Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. I am glad that you found the staff to be accommodating and welcoming. Taking the fee upfront is beneficial to us, but also speeds up the check in process for our guests. From a personal view I also like to have paid for the holiday upfront as it then separates it from the cost of being on holiday, but each to their own. We try to be upfront and open, and feel if we supply our guests with as much information as possible, they can then take on board the bits most relevant to them. In your case this was the directions, which I am pleased you found helpful. We chose to put the spray head on the hose as this then meant it couldn't be accidentally left on and cause flooding. I hope that overall you did enjoy your stay here in the peace and quiet.

Just got back from a few days away. Had a lovely stay, plenty of space around our pitch, the facilities were very good and set in a beautiful part of the country. Will definitely be back!

This is a lovely secluded location, but within easy reach of attractions in and around Buxton. All facilities very clean & well maintained, and a free dvd and book library for guests. If you have a dog, there is one of the best (= large) exercise areas we've come across. But watch out for rabbits at night - there are hordes of them!
Site's response
Thank you for your review Steve. I am pleased that you found the facilities clean and were impressed by our dog walking field. We do get a lot of rabbits up here, we have to have all the flowers up high, to stop them eating them all! Hopefully we will see you again soon.

This is a lovely site but not what we were looking for. No views of the beautiful countryside around us, we only could see a toilet block. Facilities were good but I called to say we would not arrive until after the 5pm check in and they said they would leave a welcome information pack and gate key in the lodge - but there was nothing when we arrive, called and was given a gate key but not info about the site.
Site's response
Thank you for your review. I can only apologise if there wasn't an arrival envelope waiting for you, this must have been an oversight on our part. With regards to your comments about the views, part of our site license is that we can't be seen from the surrounding roads. As much as I agree it would be great to have pitches with the fantastic views from our dog walk, for example, we aren't allowed to do this.
Didn't sleep too well

We couldn't get a good night sleep first night as tent next to us had dog constantly barking. Someone in one of the pods was walking their dog around the tent area and letting it foul right opposite us as we had breakfast. The idea of coming to adult only site was that we thought we wouldn't have these issues.
Site's response
I am sorry to hear that your sleep was disturbed by your neighbour's dog. It is usually the noise of the birds that you hear in the morning up here. We obviously advertise ourselves as a tranquil park and make all of our customers aware of the ethos of the park. Sometimes this isn't taken onboard as much as we would like. I am sure on a different day your experience would have been very different, and hopefully you will come and stay again to see that.

Had a great short stay with an electric hook up. Staff are great and very friendly and very helpful. Love that it's adult only, so it's nice and peaceful with no little kids running around. Excellent location with fab walks everywhere

Spotlessly clean, tidy set up everywhere, best shower/loo we have been to. Great area for your fur baby to have a good run about if you don't venture out. Was just a 2 night stay, so despite the weather, as it was a very windy one, we had a lovely time, thank you.

Beautiful site. My partner and I had a lovely, relaxing stay here. You do need a car to get around though as it's in a remote area.
Site's response
Thank you for your review Rachael. I am glad that you had an enjoyable and relaxing stay with us. It is certainly beneficial to have a vehicle to get around, as we are pretty rural. Hopefully we will see you again in the future.

Longnor is a lovely site, situated in an idyllic location. Site staff are friendly, approachable and very helpful. Toilet and shower facilities were great. Site was pretty central to attractions that we wanted to visit. Be prepared for journeys to take longer as the roads are very eventful, but with magnificent views wherever you look, who cares!?
Site's response
Hi Darren, this is a really lovely review, thank you for taking the time to write it. I am glad you found the site clean and the staff helpful. We do have some narrow country lanes in the Peak District, but I find it can be the other drivers that make it eventful! Hopefully we can welcome you back in the future.

We had a lovely stay at Longnor Wood last weekend. The site is very well appointed, with a nice clean toilet/shower block, electric hook-up, gravel pitches and a handy shop with freezers for icepacks. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They lent us a mallet because we thought we'd forgotten ours only to find it later in the peg bag! The site is very quiet, being adult only and the most noises comes from the abundant wildlife around! We went to sleep to the sound of owls hooting around us. The surrounding area is beautiful and I would recommend the walk over Chrome Hill, which was a fun scramble with amazing views. We would certainly come back here in the future and strongly recommend it.
Site's response
Thank you for your review Matthew, I am really pleased that you liked the site. We are very lucky with the wildlife here, I am listening to the birds tweet as I write this. It is a great walk over Chrome Hill, one of my personal favourites, and one I often recommend to customers. We would be glad to welcome you back in the future, and appreciate the recommendation.

Beautiful and well kept site. A few hairy hills to drive up with the caravan, but you need to climb to get the views...and there were beautiful views to be had. Fantastic facilities, very friendly staff. Large enclosed dog field with superb views over the hills, the site even has a walk in dog shower (hot water) if needed. Pitch was even and grounds were well kept and lawns were mowed weekly. Abundant wildlife and various birds visiting frequently. We will return!

Hi Kerry, this is a fantastic review, thank you for writing it. We try our best to keep the site tidy for our guests and we are very lucky to be in the part of the world that we are. I am glad that you liked the site and the facilities. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
