We have just returned from our Easter break, on arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff who checked us in quickly and was very informative about the site and area and gave us a leaflet of useful numbers and places to visit,
Our tent pitch was huge and we have an 8 meter tent and canopy, the field was on a slight slope but not really noticeable once in your tent and we had fantastic views,
The showers and toilet blocks were spotless and were always kept that way, the underfloor heating was a bonus especially when it was as cold as it was when we visited, they also had a unisex shower and toilet area which was slightly larger than the normal showers which was good when getting the little ones ready,
They also had a fantastic pot wash room which was enclosed and not outside like some sites, so you were nice and warm whilst washing up especially if someone was using the washer and dryer or the iron,
They also had a campers retreat which was like a large hut which had a microwave in(handy for warming kiddies meals if in a hurry)and also a drinks vending machine and a large selection of leaflets.
The site also over the bank holiday had 2 mobile units, I was serving jacket potatoes during the day and the other served breakfasts, which was nice if you didn't feel like cooking,
There are 2 play areas 1 for under 6 year olds which was fantastic, my little boy loved this especially the small climbing wall, it also had a slide, the other area was a large field with climbing and balance apparatus, a basketball net, and football goals,
The site is also a working farm and we were lucky to be there in lambing season which again my little boy loved and also the goats,
Buxton and Bakewell were only a stones throw away in the car which was handy if you needed supplies or just fancied a day out,
There is also a local pub (the church inn) which is about 30 minutes away walking over the public footpaths, they served home cooked foods and had a good selection of drinks and were very friendly and welcoming, we even got a lift back off the landlords daughter as we couldn't get a taxi,
The site offers electric hook up for tents but its on a top up card, which you purchase when you check in and there is a £5 deposit for the card which you get back when you leave and what ever credit you don't use you get back on departure, we found the costs very reasonable as we were there for 5 days and we had 2 heaters and a fridge plus lighting on most of the time and we only used £5. 40,
The only criticism I have is the path leading to the toilet blocks is very steep but if you take your time its fine, I do feel steps would be better especially in wet weather,
All in all this is a cracking site with fantastic staff and I will visit again soon in the future, especially as its only an hour away
Visited the site early April 2014 and we will be returning! This is without doubt one of the cleanest, quietest and most welcoming sites we have visited. We pitched on hard standing in the top corner for the best views - a lovely panorama over the peaks. There is an unused green in the middle of these hard standings and it was ideal to let the kids run around on whilst we kept an eye on them from the pitch. The little play area is also good enough to keep under 10s entertained for a few hours. All site staff were very cheerful - as were other campers we spoke to- and the facilities are top notch and very clean. Plenty of pubs and walks nearby and close enough to the A6 to have easy access to Bakewell, Buxton and local
Supermarkets. Really cannot praise this site enough and can't wait to get back.
This site has been on our short list of sites to visit for a couple of years and I am glad we finally managed to visit.
It's a beautiful family owned site with great facilities and stunning views. The weather was great when we visited and this just made the views from the caravan even better.
All the facilities are first class and the toilets / showers were absolutely spotless. The only niggle I can think of (and I am really having to try hard to find anything!) is that the taps in the sinks stop as soon as you let go, rather than running for a few seconds, making a little awkward to wash you hands.
Water, EHU and TV Aerial points are next to the pitch, although we got a good signal from our van aerial. They also have free Wifi that actually works well from inside the van.
They even have antiseptic hand dispensers located at the waste points. What a great idea !
To sum up - this is a top class site with spotless facilities, beautiful views and friendly owners. 10 out of 10
What can I say that hasn't already been said. Site owners take note. This is how to run a camping/caravan site. Owners and wardens so friendly and helpful.
We stayed here a few years ago when it was called Cottage farm and how it has changed.
Everything is thought of, excellent facilities always kept clean even though the site was full. There is a room with coffee machine and microwave for campers to use also a jacket potato unit open Fri and Sat evening, breakfast van open Sat and Sun morning, very reasonable prices.
The little building with the elasn point was a feature in it'self the anti bac hand wash a nice touch.
The enclosed dog walk is great and the views are fantastic from here and the tent field. The pigmy goats and lambs are sweet and there is a play area that looked very popular.
We walked from the site on to the Monsal trail, through the tunnels to bakewell with a stop off at Monsal Head around seven miles, then caught the bus back to the main road at the top of the site.
We loved this site, will we be back?. Of course that's a big fat YES ASAP
This site scores a 10 out of 10 across the board for me. A family owned site. The owners were friendly and helpful. EHU, water and TV points were available with FREE wifi. Extra touches like antiseptic hand dispensers located at the waste water/elsan points. Small shop on site for eggs bacon etc. Highly recommended site.
Just arrived back home after a few nights at Beechcroft Farm. What a charming place it is.
As they have said they have recently re-opened after extensive improvements, so everything is sparklingly new and clean. The toilets are clean and kept warm, no draughts around the ankles. The showers too are spacious, but no internal curtain, a minor issue. Water from, what is becoming standard, push button taps, short bursts of water, so frequent pushing of the tap, again the norm in these days of ecology and economy. The tent field is stunning and will be sheltered when the trees grow, lots of hook up points. I love the card meter method of electricity, we had a kettle and fan heater and phones to charge (£6 for three nights). Lovely new hedges and trees planted. An enclosed dog exercise field, walking past a couple of friendly pygmy goats. Washing up area, all new and clean, so no issues. A campers cabin, a new thing to experience. A large shed with benches inside, hot drinks vending machine, microwave and some information posters of the locale.
Centrally located for the Peak District, close to Buxton and Bakewell, Morrisons 10 minutes away on the A6, towards Buxton, an Aldi and Waitrose in Buxton.
Everyone involved in the site were lovely. I would not think twice about going back.
All in all a lovely friendly site, none of the 'extras' you find at some parks, good old fashioned space and fresh air.
Had a lovely stay. Very good facilities. Close to Buxton. Ideal for walking lots of routes. Nice scenery. Very friendly hosts. You get free wi fi. Nice and quiet. Pitches on bottom have Ariel connectors and water is at side of van, not walking miles for water. You just pick your pitch and tell them where you have pitched. Will definitely go again. Top site.
I have just returned from a weekend break at Beech Croft Farm. I don't think that I could add any more praise to this site than has already been added. The attention to detail is amazing, even down to the new chemical toilet emptying point being built in the same style as the toilet/shower block opposite. One point made on a previous review about washing cubicles. There are two private washing cubicles in the unisex showers/toilet.
This is a lovely site in a beautiful part of Derbyshire.
The site is on a hill, but the pitches are level as the site is terraced. The views are stunning. Each pitch has it's own ehu pole which also houses two water taps and connection for the TV. The toilets and showers are spotless, though I would have like wash cubicles but this wasn't really a problem.
The location is very good, close to Millers Dale and close to Buxton. Morrison supermarket is just a few miles down the road.
Arrived Boxing Day, had a hard standing pitch with electric and water. What a great site, very friendly owners, on arrival had a glass of wine and chocolates, well it was Christmas!. Lovely touch, made to feel very welcome.
List of walks and pubs given on arrival as well, information good, didn't get chance to try all as had to get back to work so saved for next time.
Caught the bus at end of road into Buxton, good service and helpful driver, dog came too.
Toilet block and showers excellent. Dog exercising field a good idea with bins and signs to encourage clean up, just what I like, brilliant.
Have recommended to friends and family, and will return.
We have visited many many sites, and I'm not easily impressed, but this one has to be one of the best! The amenity block seems brand new (done in 2010) and is utterly spotless. The pitches have water, TV Arial and electricity. The countryside around is fabulous, and right at the heart of Derbyshire, and Julie, who is one of the owners is very charming and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and can't wait to go back!
I would find it very difficult to add more to say about this campsite that hasn't already been said. The park is very well kept and is very clean. THe hardstanding pitches that are on the elevated section of the park that do have astounding views. Sadly for us in the week we spent here we had one dry day. But didn't spoil anything really as we were there to travel around anyway. Five minutes in any direction Of Beech Croft Farm and you will be in views you could never imagine. Facilities on the site immaculate. Oh and if you have any bread that you. Need to use up or rid of there are three goats on site that will love to see you.
We have just come back from 4 nights at Beech Croft. What a brilliant touring caravan park! It is high in the peak district and just a few miles from both Buxton and Bakewell. The site is stepped with caravans on 3 levels ( maybe 4) The lower pitches are really sheltered but we opted for pitch number 10 which had the most stunning views. The shower block was one of the best I have been in and it was always lovely and warm. Very friendly young lady on reception who gave us lots of info on the surrounding area. We took her advice and dined at The Church Inn at Chelmorton and we were not disappointed. The Monsal Trail is virtually on the doorstep. Chatsworth is nearby as is Haddon Hall. Just outside the Chatsworth estate is a large and fabulous farm shop. Bakewell is lovely, as is Castleton. Eyam Hall and Eyam Nuseum are well worth a visit. The road between Hathersage and Bakewell has a very long and beautiful 'green tunnel' -where trees on either side meet at the top. A really great area and a fabulous caravan site. We will definitely be going back!
Found this site on here and stayed Aug 13. Lovely site, shower blocks were spotless all day and having a unisex really helped with children. Owners friendly and advised us on places to visit, walks pubs, couldn't be more helpful. Amazing scenery to wake up to each day, thought electric card idea excellent! Loads of space on pitches. Play area for kids great, breakfast van smelt delicious but didn't use. The area was great and looking forward to return visit to this campsite, only one thing was steep slope to toilets but really not a problem

One of the best sites we have been on. All the staff we met had something friendly to say and even though we had a lot of rain everyone was cheerful.
