Lime Tree Holiday Park

A aimé : The staff were welcoming, the facilities were amazing, very clean and modern. We found a lovely spot to pitch our tent. It was a good hub to get to Buxton, Bakewell and Chatsworth House which was our main draw.

N'a pas aimé: The hill to drive up to the camping fields was a little uneven and bumpy and there were a few precarious rocks that I think our car may have scraped on.

A aimé : An absolutely amazing stay. The camping pods were clean and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The wash blocks were spotless and staff very friendly. My two children can’t wait to return! Also an excellent location for exploring the Peak District. Thank you for a fantastic couple of days.

A aimé : Well kept grassy terraces for tent pitches, very clean shower/toilet block, hot water for washing up at the sinks. It was nice to have access to a picnic bench, there were several dotted about. Quite a peaceful site although with some background road noise, lots of birdsong morning & evening.

N'a pas aimé: Annoying radio 2 playing when you go into the toilet block, even in the dead of night. There was nowhere to plug in a phone charger or a fridge/freezer for campers.
No wifi

A aimé : Great location close to Buxton. The toilet/washing facilities were very clean and modern. Lovely view of you can get a pitch at the top of the camping field.

N'a pas aimé: Camping field is on quite a slope!
Be prepared to roll away in your sleep.
Also the playground is next to the road in/off the site, not ideal for small kids.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review, we are in the process of getting a new fence with a gate to make it more secure.

A aimé : This site is a great location to do lots of beautiful walks and sightseeing. There are take aways and shops and cafes near by.

I stayed in the non-electric camping field which seemed to have a newly built shower block, I can't fault the cleanliness of this area. The site is peaceful and really well kept. Beautiful views of the railway bridge and surrounding fields full of cows.

I've not done much camping so I felt really safe here especially travelling alone.

N'a pas aimé: There were keypads on the toilet doors which felt a bit weird. When you're half asleep in the first morning and just need a wee it's annoying to have to go back to your tent and check the code. I've never known a site have this before. My friends were in a different field and the codes were different. Even from the normal loos to the children's changing area the codes were different so my friend had to remember two cldes. Also conflicting signs around the camp about dog fouling. One sign said there was CCTV and I'd be removed from site if my dog pooed. Another sign in a different field said clear up after your dog. I asked reception for clarification and it was sort of shrugged at, they doesn't matter if he pooped it was to keep static caravan owners happy, but also take him to the dog field and try not to let him poo at the same time. My dog ended up sitting in the car when I visited my friends in another field. On the last day I saw there were loads of dogs around that field so I let him sit outside with us. There are signs in the bathroom saying don't allow your dogs in the facilities. I travelled on my own so wasn't prepared to leave him outside or in the tent by himself. I wish it was made clear before I went there were some specific dog rules. It Didn't really feel like a dog friendly site. I took him in the shower block and he led on a towel on the seat whilst I showered, there wasn't a trace of him being there, which is more than I can say for some children who left grass everywhere one morning.

All the staff I spoke with were really friendly. Although I will say I got speaking to a camping neighbour and she was outraged because she watched two male staff enter two of the tents in our field when the occupants were out. I asked if they went into my tent she said no, it just feels really wrong and inappropriate to do that. She was going to speak to reception about it and I also was but I left the next day so there didn't seem much point.

The onsite shop is pretty basic and expensive. There is a farm shop also onsite which I didn't visit so there may be more in there.

I had a nice relaxed time and I would recommend staying here if you don't have a dog and put a padlock on your tent.
