We stayed for 3 nights having travelled up from the Cotswolds. As you pull up to check in you are greeted by the most amazing display of begonia baskets around the reception building-they were stunning. This love of flowers and planting carries on throughout the site with so many areas of greenery and flowers, it really is so pretty! Well done to the team who must work really hard to maintain them.
We had a large pitch on the top level of the site quite close to the shower block. Pitch was slightly sloping but not so bad to need levellers.
As you walk around the site there are photos of its previous life as homes for Polish soldiers who were were housed here while they fought alongside our own soldiers in WW2. There are still remains of the buildings they would have lived in, it really was fascinating. The site is very tranquil and pleasant.
There are plenty of walks in the area, we walked up to Tittesworth Resevoir, along the road then onto the footpath to the visitor centre, quite an easy walk. Plenty to see here, lovely coffee shop and also a restaurant which overlooks the water. There is also a huge play area so plenty to keep children happy.There are walking trails, some short and some more challenging.
We also walked to Ye Olde Rock Inn, quite a steep walk when you come off the main road but well worth it. The 3 Horseshoes Inn was lovely, with a beautiful high decking/garden area that looks out over the landscape to The Roaches-absolutely stunning views.
We caught the 16 bus (which stops near The 3 Horseshoes) into Buxton. That was amazing day out, Buxton is beautiful! A must do is the Buxton Tram tour, a converted electric milk float that slowly takes you around the town. Our guide, Michael was amazing and it was worth every penny!
Thoroughly enjoyed our time at this site and would consider visiting again.
