 Very good site. Small shower room and toilet block.
Pitches are quite shallow so a large van will have to get the grass pitches at the top.We enjoyed the site and my daughter loved playing with some new friends as there is quite a bit of space around for the kids, but no play area.
Two bridleway walks are on the doorstep as well. Near to hope and all other ares of interest without being massively over commercialised. This was the first non caravan club site we have stayed on and it was enjoyable.

We decided on a short weekend get away, and were delighted with the site. The directions were easy to follow, and we set up camp with the minimum of fuss. The shop was well stocked with essentials, and the staff very helpful. We had beautiful walks into the nearby attractions, and are already planning on going back.

Just back from a weekend at this site with our 2 little ones (3 and 2). Nice, if a little basic, site with clean facilities.
The camping field was fine, the kids loved being next to a field of sheep. Plenty of room for games etc in the centre of the field.
Only one complaint which is directed more at fellow campers than the site itself. More than one dog owner allowed their animal to poo on the site without cleaning up after them. On a site where there are a number of young children playing I find this astonishingly selfish.

We have just got back from a lovely weekend here, the views are fantastic the owners go out of there way to help you, nothing it a problem to them, the toilet block and showers are very clean, the small shop is very well stocked. Bakewell is very close by its a lovely town it is kept very clean and spent a lovely evening in the sunshine down by the river while the kids where enjoying themselves feeding the ducks and pretending to catch the trout. We cant wait to go back to this site again

Just returned from a fantastic break at Cottage farm Caravan Park. On arrival we were given a choice of pitches including a hardstanding with grass but we chose one with just grass as it was easier for our trailer tent. Pitch was on a slight slope, but nothing to worry about, added to the nature of the Peak District!
Had some lovely views and was really central for all the areas we wanted to visit. The Site is small, friendly and family orientated. The facilities are just enough and if you choose your times wisely there are no queueing at the toilets or showers. The toilet block houses 5 shower cubicles, one each in the gents and ladies toilets and another three in another small block. Three toilets are in the ladies as well as three sink units and an electric socket ( for use of hairdryer or straighteners! ) The gents had two toilets, two sinks and a urinal and all were kept clean and stocked up.
Just along the lane was the owners farm with a fantastic little shop selling all the basics needed.
The site is situated just off the main road from Bakewell to Buxton. Morrisons can be found at Buxton and you must visit the Bakewell pudding shop in Bakewell. Some fantastic walks all around the area especailly Castleton and Mam Tor. Another place to visit is the Goyt Valley just off the main road to Whaley Bridge-a beautiful setting with lots of history. Look for St. Josephs shrine set in the middle of a valley and hidden away, such a surprise to the un-knowing visitor!
We will definitely visit again and stay at Cottage Farm.
Thanks for a great time!

Have just returned from a week here staying for the first week of the school holidays - weather not particularly great and we did have a lot of rain! Luckily we have a large tent so plenty of room to dry out things. The camping field was very spacious - but because of the weather the field was extremely boggy and we had great fun getting on and off it in the car!
The facilities were very good - considering the weather the toilets and showers were very clean, I never had to queue once for the showers (30p token for 6 minutes which is a lot of time! especially for us ladies) which was good, even though this was the beginning of the school holidays the site was not at all full. Plenty of room on the camping field for kids to play games, fly kites etc. Small shop which sold bare essentials - but it was less than 10 minutes by car into Buxton to Morrisons supermarket. The local area was very pretty and we did some lovely walks especially along the Monsal Trail. Would use this campsite again.

We're just back from 3 nights here, the CS is on a slight slope but makes for good sleeping. The toilet block is a bit of a trek away if you're at the top of the field. Brilliant views all round. The shop is very adequate for a small site with luscious bacon on sale. 30p for a 6 minute shower, no pub in walking distance though so you need a driver not drinking! Close to Buxton town, and Tideswell is a lovely little village, you need to have your pub lunches by 2:30 though. I would thoroughly recommend this site, 11 pound a nite for 2 adults and 1 child.

Just spent a long weekend at this site. We only intended to stay for 2 nights, but liked it so much there we stayed for 4! The camping field although on a slope is a really great site and very family friendly. The facilities were very clean and adequate for the size of site and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It's location is perfect for exploring the peaks and is within walking distance of several of the main trails.
I will definitely be going back here again.

Virgin campers we chose Cottage Farm as our first site based mainly on the reviews already written here by previous happy campers. We were there with friends, also first timers, and we both have very small children. The field proved an excellent area for the children to play worry free and even the older children allowed and encouraged our two to join in. I can imagine the comments one particular teenager would’ve received from his peers had they seen him, but to his credit he joined in all the fun. The facilities were very clean and tidy, the 6-minute shower was ample for anyone to have a decent wash even hardened campers I should imagine. Although I did not personally use the shop I believe it was more than adequate. The views are simply wonderful even taking into account the busy A6 close by; the pub, although too far for us to walk to, looked inviting lit up at night. I have to mention the planes, as there is a constant stream of air traffic overhead, some local and quite a few not, if you are a plane spotter as well as a tenting anorak then this is the place for you. It proved to be the place for us and we intend to return very soon. Campers are such a friendly bunch, a big thank you to the owners and to all the other campers for making our first forage into the great outdoors a pretty wonderful experience. Of course the break in the bad weather for a perfect sunny weekend helped also. Our friends aren’t too bad either!

Have just returned from a long weekend spent at Cottage Farm. At the time of our visit there were only a few caravans on site and in the tent field (which has more of a slope than previously indicated) for a while it was only us! Adequate facilities - 3 loos for the ladies and a shower in one block and then 3 unisex showers next door. There is a small area for washing up which would probably be very busy during peak periods.
The surrounding area is just glorious. Plenty of walks available and the campsite is in an ideal position for these. Buxton is not far away and neither is Bakewell. Both towns have every shop conceivable so you won't have to go short. The Site does have a small shop that stocks the essential items if required.
All in all a pleasant, small campsite that will be visited by us again.

We decided to stay here Easter Bank Holiday for our first camping trip of the year :0) and were all very impressed!
First impressions of this site were really good. A small family run site with extremely well cared for and adequate amenities. The site owner was very laid back and did not have restrictions on what time we were allowed to pitch our tent, which meant we almost got an extra days break as we got there quiet early- BONUS!
The camping field proved to be the safest one we have visited yet as we have two girls aged 3 and 4 and we like to "See" what they are up to. The layout of the field enabled this as tents were only pitched around the outside so there was plenty of space for them to play safely. The site does have a gentle slope, but this was not a problem. The views were some of the best we have seen yet- a real lovely place to camp.
The site provided a good base to get into Buxton (think about 5 miles away) and other neighbouring towns. The Bridleway was practically onsite, making it a great base for walking too.
The amenities were basic, but extremely well cared for. We did have to queue for the showers one morning, but due to the tokens (30p from shop) lasting 6 minutes, we did not have to wait long. The shop was small, but had all the essentials considering the size of the site.
Overall, our stay here was brilliant. The field was good and staff were very helpful. We will be camping here again for sure and have recommended this site to friends and family who will be using it too!
Thanks Cottage Farm, see you soon :0)

Just got back from Easter break at Cottage Farm and had a fantastic time. First camping trip of the year and the weather was brilliant, although chilly at night.
This site is good value and in a great spot for walking and biking. I do agree that it would be a bonus if the pub was closer as after walking around the hills the last thing you want is a hike to the pub, but the food there was really good and great value - recommend the steak pie!
The farmer keeps the toilet block nice and clean and toilet paper replenished, and is very helpful if you need any info. Hook-up for every caravan/campervan pitch and we had hard-standing and grassy area for awning
Would definitely recommend this site and will be back again ourselves I am sure!

A basic but pleasant tent and caravan site situated 7 miles west of Bakewell, this is an excellent spot to base yourself at for access to sights and walks in the lower peak district.
The site is divided into two areas. The sheltered lower area nearest the quiet entrance is for caravans and campervans only. The upper area is a large open field of approximately 100 x 150 meters with a gentle upward slope and this area is for tents only. I could not spot any hookups in this field although the site claims to have a couple.
Pitching in most positions leaves you with a relatively level ground. When wet, the surface quickly becomes sticky with mud but when dry the firm and even nature is an excellent base to pitch on. The field is at the top of a broad hill and there is little in the way of treeline. This leaves a pleasant if unspectacular view but is rather exposed and both times we have visited the site the wind has been noticeably a moderate problem with pitching and collapsing a large tent and with using gas stoves without significant wind-breaking. During the early season, if windy, it can feel remarkably cold. Wrap up warm!
Toilet, shower and washing facilities are well appointed and very clean. Obviously well looked after. There is a shower in the male and female toilets and a unisex one outside. Token operated and giving 6 minutes of hot water they are good value.
There is a small site shop attached to the farm complex. This provides a few basic/emergency provisions e.g milk, bacon, frozen bread, oil, a few tinned foods etc. But not enough to rely on totally. Nearest grocery shops are in Bakewell, a 10 minute car journey.
The adjoining farm that owns the campsite is run by a friendly family and the surrounding fields and barns are full of sheep and horses. Lovely for the children to have a look around in (with farm staff on hand) and the owners seem happy to allow this lovely educational activity to continue.
The site is in my opinion good value for money, basic but well kept and ideal for a warm weather holiday. Early season it has proven to be rather cold and windy due to its exposed position but this is not a problem if you go well equipped with warm clothes and plenty of alcohol!
I would certainly revist the site.

Couldn't agree more with previous reviewers. Would like to add that the owners were extremely friendly and helpful. Ideal location for walkers though a nearer pub would be welcome!
We also stayed on the site last November when they are limited to just 5 vans. However, this suited us even better and the facilities being closed was no hardship at all.
Will definitely be going again this winter!

This was our very first outing as novice campers and what a fantastic first choice! The setting of this site is really gorgeous and although we had to pitch the tent on a slight slope it didn't prove to be a problem. The site itself was very peaceful and there was plenty of room for ball games for the kids (although they did not seem to appreciate the wonderful views as much as we did!). My only adverse comment is that the noise from the road did disturb the peace a little but not enough to put us off going back.
