About Knotlow Farm

Welcome to this charming site, located on a farm on the outskirts of Flagg and in the heart of the White Peaks. Visit nearby market towns such as Bakewell, head to the majestic Chatsworth Estate, order takeaway breakfasts and enjoy homemade pizza in the evenings. During the summer, spot cattle, Dorper sheep and lambs grazing in the fields. There is a selection of non-electric spacious grass pitches for your tent or caravan, spread across two camping fields (family-friendly and adults-only). Six grass pitches with 16 amp electric hook-ups are also available. If you're looking for a bit of luxury and an outdoor experience with those home comforts, the site is home to adult only glamping pods made for two, each with their own hot tubs! The pods are handmade and sit just behind the farm buildings in their private setting. Each pod has two single beds (converting to a double bed), a kitchenette, cutlery and heating. Outside, the raised fenced decking houses a hot tub and a gas barbecue. Shared facilities are nearby. Dogs are welcome only on the camping field. No pets in the pods.

The campsite is open from 29th March to 30th September. Pods are open all year round.

Glamping Pod - Glamping Pods with Hot Tubs (Adult Only)Dec 2024

Really enjoyed our stay in the glamping pods and the location and facilities at Knotlow Farm. The hot tub was well maintained and private. We visited Chatsworth at Christmas and this was an excellent location to stay. Would use again. Thanks Knotlow farm for accommodating us 🙂

Very disappointed

Glamping Pod - Glamping Pods with Hot Tubs (Adult Only)Nov 2024

Nice place, very relaxing, cabin was lovely and cosy. Toilets and showers were very clean. Very disappointed with the hot tub not being cleaned properly, there was a horrible layer of bubbly scum on top every time we went in. I don't think the filters had been cleaned and there was way too much chlorine as well that really hurt your eyes...very poor. Also I wouldn't have booked if I didn't know that the pizza service and breakfast service wasn't available. I wasn't told that even on the phone call I had with the lady before our visit. She basically said bring plenty of supplies, which was fine, but why advertise pizza and breakfast but don't mention you don't do it in winter? Also the coffee machine in the toilet and shower room had no cups. I felt I should get some sort of a refund for the poor hot tub and poor food service that was non existent.

Great Site

Head out and explore this stunning area in the Peak District. Arbor Low Stone Circle, known as 'the Stonehenge of the Peak District', is just a ten-minute drive away, and although none of the stones are left standing, the size of this major site is worth the visit alone.

Castleton, approximately 20 minutes from the site, has plenty on offer, including the ruins of an 11th-century castle and one of the country's earliest Norman fortresses.

If you fancy following in the footsteps of some of Jane Austen's most famous characters, head to Chatsworth House (a 10-minute drive) and stroll through the beautiful gardens before roaming through its corridors.

Other attractions include:

  • Thornbridge Hall
  • River Wye
  • Bakewell Old House Museum
  • Winnats Pass
  • Mam Tor
