We arrived 28th May for two nights and due to it being half term the site was quite busy on arrival, fortunately we arrived at lunchtime and was able to take up a plot on a terrace above the play area but far enough away so as not to be disturbed by the playing children.
Within a couple of hours the main camp area, a field furthest from the facilities that had been used for tent pitches and games area and seemed to attract groups of families/friends had become quite full which resulted in people driving round in an effort to find a suitable pitch. Most of the site is sloping with the main field more so and open to the elements.
The toilets/showers were clean and adequate and the no noise after 10pm policy was enforced by the wardens who patrolled the site. We had an enjoyable stay at this well located site with a Morrisons supermarket down the road and many attractions nearby.
Just got back from a long weekend at The Lime tree. First time we have stayed there and have been very impressed.
The site always looked neat & tidy. We was up on the top touring field which had amazing views across the country & the viaduct. The showers & toilets are immaculate, hot water even at busy times! The Washing up facility is spotless to and even has draining racks!
Our pitch was bigger then other pitches we have had on different sites which was great for us all as we had plenty of outside space still with our tent & two cars!
The staff were very friendly especially Karen & Mark who are so nice & couldn't do enough to help with any questions / query's about the surrounding areas & walks.
There's a well stocked shop along with bargain books to buy for charity, A games room with a tv, Launderette & ironing facility & Dog walk.
In reception is lots of useful information leaflets on surrounding areas, walking maps & take away menus.
Will definitely return & recommend the site to everyone.
Just returned from a weekend at Limetree park. What can I say? This site is lovely and the area is great.
Nice location with very friendly and helpful staff. They show you to your pitch.
Lovely views from the top field - WOW
Nice shower blocks and very clean
Excellent family room for showers - great for families.
Butcher came onsite to deliver meat for your BBQ - what a great idea?
Local Indian will deliver to the site and even the Chippy will deliver!
Small shop that stocks basic provisions
Games room to keep the kids happy on a wet day.
Negatives:-
I agree with the previous review that the kids play area could do with a re-vamp, and the location is fine if you are in a tent on the non electric pitches, but a bit too far away if you are at the top of the hill, especially as our children are only 4 & 5. They could do with a small play area on the top touring field, this would make it perfect. I cannot think of any other negatives and we will definitely be visiting this site again its very close to perfect!
It is within walking distance of Buxton which has a lovely park and great Weatherspoons pub right next to the park, there is also a Morrisons close by and Tesco Express. Buxton itself is a nice little town and there's loads to do in this area, its very pretty and ideal for a weekend away.
This site deserves its previous awards as a top class site and they have a great team of staff who are the friendliest we have come across in our 3yrs of touring.
We spent the bank holiday weekend here with a large group of friends with small children. The toilets and showers were really clean. Even though the first day it rained all day they were constantly being cleaned and always well stocked. The dish washing sinks were good with really hot water. The only problem was there are only 2, so at bust times there was a bit of a wait for them.
The field was very boggy due to rain, so we camped on the terraces, which are very nice and offer some privacy with the trees surrounding them.
The staff were great, really friendly and helpful.
The children's play area is not great for smaller children. Could definitely do with some baby swings. But kept my 4 yr old amused.
Buxton is beautiful, especially the park. Lots of pubs, restaurants, shops etc. We had chinese take away one night and they delivered to the tent.Great! you can walk to tescos or morrisons.Very handy.
We arrived early afternoon on the friday and glad we did as the terraces were filling up and the field was too boggy, although people did seem to manaage on there ok.
Overall it was a good weekend on a clean, friendly, family site.
A fantastic site! run by some of the friendliest people we've met.
We had rain all week but all the electric pitches are hard standing with path ways around the field, so that stopped everything getting muddy!
The toilet/free shower block were spotless & even had a free hairdryer, they also had a really useful family room we could take our 2 year old in to shower. I usually wash up in the caravan but the washing up facilities were so nice I used theirs!
The site was kept very tidy & looked pretty with flowers everywhere (even in the toilets)
The adventure playground kept our 2 year old occupied for a short while but could do with a couple of baby swings & maybe a roundabout!
Buxton town centre is within walking distance with a big morrisons & two good pubs for food the railway & weatherspoons.
I highly recommend this caravan park & we would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.
Just made the short journey over to Buxton, to a site which had been recommended by friends.
Arrived on a rather wet Friday, to be met by the warmest of welcomes, we were pointed in the direction of the camping field, warned it was wet, and even offered assistance to get our camping gear onto pitch if necessary.
The sun came out over the weekend and the site dried out well.
The only problems were caused by inconsiderate campers, who ignored advice and went where they wanted, one even camped right in front of the bins , obscuring them from the rest of us, !.
The toilets and showers were kept in fantastic condition, even with the wet conditions, there was occasionally a small wait for the showers, but it was Bank Holiday.
Site is beautiful, fantastically situated for walking, and visiting Buxton.
Sunday morning the children were treated to a free treasure hunt. Children, mums and dads all joined in the fun with each child receiving a prize. Brilliant !
We booked in at short notice over the Bank Holiday weekend, as most places had already filled up, and to be honest, I wish I’d tried harder!
The site itself was pleasant enough, handy location for getting around. However, the site seemed to be a magnet for large families, which means there were kids everywhere! Also, the top camping field was the only place where ball games could be played, so it became pretty noisy. On the Sunday the site owner set up a treasure hunt and hid one of the treasures behind our tent!
The toilet/showers were good enough, showers that stayed on and pumped out hot water, however with so many families there, there really wasn’t enough and if you are in the top field, and need the loo in the middle of the night, be prepared for a long trek there and back and a nasty hill! Also, don’t forget the pin code for the toilet doors!
There’s a very strict no bonfire rule, which means no burning wood at all, even in a pit or BBQ. The top field is also on quite a slope and although it was dry all weekend, the ground was still very wet (although at least that meant the pegs went in easily).
One real plus was that the local butcher called in twice a day which was really handy, but sadly not enough to make me want to visit again.
We visited this site at Easter and cant fault their hospitality and beautiful site.
The weather was glorious the facilities the best we have come across, toilets always spotless and lovely hot showers that were free!
We were greeted with warm smiles and even escorted to our pitch. Lots of friendly advise, places to visit and local walks, nothing was too much trouble . We even had a a local Indian delivered to us that evening !
The views from our pitch were amazing and as the sun went down you could not wish for better, so quiet as they have a 10pm noise restriction, most were asleep or just enjoying the evening.
1 mile from buxton and just a 10 min walk to the local.Just perfect
We we stayed here during the early May bank holiday for a family get together. The tent sites filled up quickly on the Friday afternoon, but people weren't crammed in too much. There's some flatter tent spots nearer the entrance and a larger sloping field further up; this is quite nice but a bit of a walk to the toilet block at night.
The washrooms are clean, but we didn't use them that much as we had family members staying in static caravans and log cabins. Incidentally, the log cabins would be great for a winter break.
Some of the family arrived late in the evening, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating or helpful.
The site is not too far out of Buxton, quite a good location, there are walks directly from the site. Plenty of National Trust places are nearby, would particularly recommend Lyme Park.
Would definitely go back, the area is very scenic, and everyone was so friendly.
We decided to go away for a few days at Easter at very short notice.
Rang this site on the Thursday morning before Easter & were advised that we were too late to get on what they call the terraces as they were all booked up. However they also have a large camping field which they would open as the heavy rain the day before had not affected it too badly.
Arrived on Easter Sunday to one of the warmest & friendliest welcomes I think I have ever had. We were given a quick guide to what was where & then pointed in the direction of the camping field.
The field is huge, although a little exposed despite having two walled sides to it but it wasn't overly windy that weekend & clever use of the car & a windbreak should sort it. The late decision to open the field meant that there was only three or four tents on there all weekend. The ground was slightly soft but far from being muddy.
The toilet/shower facilities are located at the back of reception & it was a bit of a steep hike getting back to the top of the field, but the block was kept spotlessly clean & show no sign of wear & tear at all. The three showers in the gents are free & hot & there was never a queue for them. I have it good authority that the the ladies toilets showers were the same.
A gentleman comes round each morning on a mini tractor to take away your rubbish. The small shop is stocked with most of the items you probably tend to forget but there is a Morrisons superstore a short walk away & Buxton isnt much further down the road.
There is a regular visitor to site each day bringing hot food, sandwiches etc. A games room with a pool table, jigsaws etc to keep the kids happy if it is raining & a small laundry area for those wet clothes.
This is a great base for exploring the Peak District. Mam Tor, Blue John Mines & Kinder Scout arent too far away. Bakewell is a delightful village & well worth a visit. Buxton itself looks a little tired but there are some good shops & excellent restaraunts.
If you are undecided about where to go to eat ask Karen on reception, not only is she a goldmine of information on the local area but she was also good enough to ring up & book tables for us & there are a number of takeaways who deliver to site.
All in all this is an excellent site, kept beautifully clean, with excellent facilities & the staff really couldn't be more helpful. We are really looking forward to visiting this site again soon. Thanks for a lovely enjoyable stay.
Lime Tree is a lovely place to stay. The staff gave us the friendliest of welcomes. It was our maiden voyage in our Motorhome and they made it so easy for us. They directed us to one of their many level hard standing areas and recommended which pitch to choose.
The site is beside a county road, but very peaceful and so close to Buxton with all it’s shops and amenities.
The toilet block was spotless and grounds well kept. There are 2 dog walks, a large one at the top of the site and a smaller one by a stream, so Jodie the collie was delighted.
All in all one of the nicest weekends we have spent away. Top marks!
Had a lovely weekend here (apart from the weather on the last day). The site is clean and well thought out. We were lucky enough to get a pitch on the terraces, so had a bit of privacy too.
The shop, toilets, showers and washing up areas are all first class. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Buxton was a lovely town, we walked for miles. Would definitely recommend this site if you like peace and quiet, and nothing too commercial.
We had 3 nights here to kick off our camping season last year. The site is clean, friendly with good facilities.
The pitches are a good size and not too near each other. The play area is OK although a bit of a walk from the tent area.
Buxton is lovely with plenty of shops and a brilliant park. There are also lots of attractions in the surrounding areas. We live quite near and would visit here again for a quick get away.
Arrived completely stressed out after a horrendous 5 hour journey, to lovely owners who took about 5 mins to bring us back down to earth! They provided us with takeaway menu's and recommendations (which turned out to be very worthwhile, even delivered to us at 11pm when we'd finally sorted ourselves out!) as well as talking us through where things were. The toilet blocks are right next to reception, which isn't a problem as the site isn't massive, so not a hugely inconvenient walk. Washing up facilities are behind the block, and the childrens play area is next to them, so at least you can keep an eye on your kids if you need to when busy. There is a small shop that stocks basic items. Useful certainly, but if you need more Morrisons supermarket is about 3mins walk from the site.
The toilet block would benefit from being cleaned a bit more often. Now this is a two-way thing, and campers need to make the effort with their environment too. It wasn't dirty, just lots of loo paper all over the floor and a bit messy. The hand-dryer is pretty wimpish too, not much use if there are several people waiting. The site itself has some very pretty pitches amongst the trees on terraces, the 'back-up' being a sloped field. Because of the time we arrived we ended up at the bottom of this field where we were on quite a steep bit of the slope. This was OK for a couple of nights, but sleeping at such an angle isn't easy so we'd have looked to move if we were there longer. Excellent views though, even the cows in the next field kept popping their heads over the wall! There is a road next to the site but its not overly used, so no noise issues. Other campers seemed friendly enough, and lots of children played together, making their own entertainment. Noise reduction is asked for after (I think) 11pm, and everyone stuck to this, only heard the snorer's after that :0)
Fields can be used to walk dogs, but obviously on a lead if the cows are out. Also a 2 minute walk out of the site brings you to a walking area near the viaduct which again is pretty peaceful. We didn't get out and about much as we were only there for 2 nights, but managed to go to Pooles Cavern and walk in the woodland there, and up to Solomans Temple. Great place to go, but not easy for those who have mobility issues.
Would certainly go back,and recommend to others and would like to get to see more of places like Buxton.
