Reviewer: David fowler 6 reviews from this member

 Had 9 great nights here at losehill, absolute bang on site, great walks for us, and dog, tv reception is poor, but we had a freesat setup, sat good depending where you are pitched

Toilet and showers kept very clean with plenty of hot water, also very reasonable in price. Can recommend this site if you love walking, will definitely return in the near future.

 We visited this site over Easter, thought it was a lovely site in a good position, usual good standard of showers and toilets kept well. It is an easy walk into Castleton and the scenery around is breathtaking.

My only complaints are that the kids playground was too small and seemed an afterthought and the dogwalk was just a complete waste of time, we ended up walking our dogs in the parkland next door. The dogwalk is right next door to the main road, also I don't agree with the long list of rules you are given as dog owner on arrival.

 Managed to get on for Easter. A cracking site with all the usual CC amenities and up to their excellent standards. Family games room great for the kids.

Ideal location close enough to walk into Castleton. Plenty to see and do on foot or with a short drive if necessary. Some good pubs in Castleton doing food especially 'The Peaks' 'The George' and 'The Castle.' The Real Fudge Co. has a selection of sweets that really will take you back to your childhood and some brilliant local ice cream to boot.

Chippy van arrives on site but beware it does exactly what it says on the side. Fish & Chips only ! Have tried getting on the site since but always fully booked and no wonder, brilliant.

 Love this site, have been before and have booked to come again in December to see the Christmas Lights.

Wonderful, friendly wardens. This site takes some beating.

Nice and handy for walking into Castleton and into Hope where there is a Chinese takeaway, good food. Lovely walks especially over into Edale the scenery is beautiful and good food at the Nags Head.

As usual the showers and toilet blocks kept very clean and plenty of hot water. Just a site to keep coming back to.

Reviewer: Wychwoodzippy 10 reviews from this member

 Just stayed two nights here and it couldn't be faulted. Pitches spacious and site peaceful despite it being school holidays and every pitch taken. Wardens were helpful and friendly.

Previous reports from dog owners had been a little off putting but we walked from site up to the top of Lose Hill and over the ridge to Winnats via Mam Tor and encountered very little problems with stiles and our dog is a Mastiff (walk took about 2 hours). Morning walk with dog was also easy in that public footpaths went from just down the road from site and made a nice circular walk (and livestock fenced in).

The walk into Castleton via the public footpath was lovely and also dog friendly. Castleton is lovely and we had a lovely cream tea there. Will definitely be going back as we didn't get to do the walk to Lady Bower! An ordnance survey map definitely recommended.

 We have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday in Castleton staying at Losehill Caravan Club Site. The site is level with all hard standing and plenty of space between you and your neighbour. The toilet and shower block were absolutely spotless and lovely and warm. The washing up and veg prep room also spotless. We used the laundry which was quite reasonable and there was also a drying room. Also a good tourist information room which included reviews on local places to eat.

The whole site was beautifully kept and friendly wardens made our stay all the better. Castleton is about 10 minutes walk away and includes some lovely shops and is very pictureque. We used the 'Cheddar Cheese Inn' when we fancied a drink and ate there as well, can highly recommend this place. The whole area is lovely and although we are not great walkers we still found plenty of things to do and visited Matlock Bath, Buxton and Bakewell.

Overall we had a brilliant time and would recommend the site and area. We were also blessed with very good weather which was a bonus.

 Lovely site, close to village so a walk in is very pleasant. Well managed, as you would expect from a Caravan Club site.

Facilities are spotless and if your luck enough to get a sunset, it's spectacular through the trees.

An ideal location for touring the High Peaks. Entrance is quite sharp when approaching from Castleton so be careful!

Very popular though, if you want to go, book early, especially at weekends.

Reviewer: Rossi617 2 reviews from this member

 This site is clean and tidy. I have 2 negative comments. The pitches are on the small side and are quite tight. Be careful that you park your van the right way around as the wardens won't be pleased. The dog walk is tiny and right near a busy road. I would advise people who have a dog which needs to be off the lead at any time not to visit this area, its a nightmare as no dogs are allowed off lead anytime or anywhere. If we'd known this beforehand it would have put us off all together as this is part of the joy of a caravan \ walking holiday to see your dog running free.

Reviewer: Tucker 8 reviews from this member

 We were in the area and looking for a pitch for one night. Luckily they had space but were almost full as you would expect at this time of year.

The site is immaculate, good size pitches and very well laid out. Facilities are also top notch.

Great location and nice pubs in walking distance.

Couple of grumbles;

1. There is one toilet/shower block which closes from 10:30 - 11:30 for cleaning. Once it's shut there are no alternative facilities.

2. The site is boundaried by a main road on one side and a long driveway to whatever is next door on another. Both generated a lot of traffic noise, fairly high speed (even up the driveway)

 2nd timers to this site (1st June 08).

Site is very clean and tidy, pitch sizes are good, wardens are very helpful.

They state TV Poor but it should say TV almost non-existent. I tried with boosted ariel, then a digibox and finally a 66cm satellite dish and receiver - with no joy except for a 4 second burst of a station with dish/receiver then lost all signal.

Going forward if stated as TV Poor then we won't be stopping at those sites.

During the day we walk/hike but in the evening it is good to relax and watch some TV from time to time.

Reviewer: Pink.frog 6 reviews from this member

 Firstly I think the site needs a bigger sign at their entrance we actually missed the turn in and had to do a u-turn.

This was our first trip to a CC site. I was really impressed. The wardens were welcoming and we parked up and walked around the site to find just the right spot.

There are hard standing pitches, which helps to avoid flooding. Plenty of room between pitches to park up next to your van and put awning up. Electric hook ups. Plenty of lighting of a night time and a very quiet site. Some pitches next to the road where a bit noisy because of the very busy road.

The toilet blocks were immaculately clean and the showers were hot, although lacking in a bit of water pressure, but adequate. Individual wash rooms with a basin and hair driers. Also power points to plug in your own hair drier.

Plenty of taps to refill your water barrels and empty waste water. There is a wash room to wash your dirty dishes and prepare veggies. Also a drying room to dry wet coats, boots, towels etc.

There is a laundry room with washing machines £3 a wash and driers, although we didn't use these facilities. A family room with a table tennis table and a pool/snooker table. A small play area for the kids, but I felt it was a bit too small.

There is a small copse that is used for the 'dog walk', which is basically somewhere to empty the dog.

We put up the satellite dish and had good reception and got loads of channels.

Turn left out the centre and you will find some shops about 5 minute drive down the road, Spar etc. A Chinese and Indian takeaway not far up the road. Also a camping supplies shop.

Ten minute drive to Bradwell there is delicious fish and chips to had. Cooked fresh while you wait

Plenty of places to walk and visit. Although we went in July and the dogs weren't allowed off lead, cos of sheep everywhere. We did get lost in the mountains, so buy a local map.

Would I visit here again? Well if there were no sheep to be seen and the dogs were allowed off lead, a definite yes.

Reviewer: Janx 118 reviews from this member

 This site is lovely, a walkers paradise.

It has well drained, level, hard standing pitches, facilities always clean with the showers always hot. Everywhere is tidy and has an air of peace about it.

There is a small dog walk, small children's play area a drying room and a family room that I assume anyone can use if they wish.

There are many walks from the site, Hope is a short distance and can be reached via the road with foot path all the way, or by public footpath accross the fields. There are a few pubs and a cafe, and one or two shops.

Castleton is a short walk away with quite a few pubs that serve food. There aren't many shops there other than jewellery and gifts, though they do have a post office and general store.

I feel the site is more suited to adults as there is not much in the area for children unless they like to walk.

This time we walked via Hollins cross to the top of Mam Tor which is worth the climb for the views.

Another place I would reccommend is Cave Dale, it's a magical placeand a lovely place for a picnic, which is signposted behind from the road at the back of the church. If your feeling energetic you can walk up Cave Dale accross the meadow along the limestone way and back down Winnats Pass, the views are stunning.

 Losehill is a brilliant little site and is set in the beautiful Peak District National Park

The site is open all year and the pitches are all hardstanding to reflect this, they are all of a good size, however some are closer to the road than others and some traffic noise is evident.

The reception doubles as a small shop with milk eggs etc and newspapers to order.

The facilities on this site are top class with a never ending supply of hot water in the powerful showers and the blocks kept pristinely clean. There are the usual Baby & toddler and disabled facilities; the washing up area is small but adequate.

There is also a drying room on this site to take care of your walking equipment after those not so nice days.

An information room gives you the low down on all the local attractions and also has information on the local pubs and restaurants, if in doubt ask the friendly Wardens they were only too pleased to help.

There is a children’s play area on site and also a small dog walk for our four legged friends.

There is a small convenience store in Castleton and also in Hope village and a good few pubs that serve mouth watering food at reasonable prices.

The site is a haven for walkers due to its location, but is also ideal for families as there is much to do in the local area with Pevril Castle and speedwell cavern just a short distance away.

 Arrived after a scary journey in the dark down Winates Pass ( not suitable for caravans aaaaaagh )This was due to using our new Xmas pressie - Sat Nav ! So be careful how you approach .

Wardens friendly giving us a nice welcome and we soon settled in . Toilets , showers immaculate.Other facilities looked great washing / drying room for a longer stay. Local shops quite close by in Hope. Lots to do in the locality but we opted for a walk in the Edale valley and a wander around Castleton,lovely day.A little gem of a site and we will certainly be returning , just not down Winates Pass !

 We stayed at this site in October. Weather ok. Brilliant site, toilet and showers always kept immaculate. All hard standings. Staff very friendly, great site for walking and plenty of dog friendly pubs in Castleton.
Will definitely be going back. Thought the drying room was really good for drying off wet walking gear. Cannot fault this site.
