Knotlow Farm

Knotlow Farm is a family run caravan and campsite with glamping pods, set on a traditional working farm in the White Peak, just outside the hamlet of Flagg and roughly halfway between Bakewell and Buxton in the Derbyshire Peak District. Run by the Hollinrake family, it caters for everyone from couples to families: you can pitch a tent or bring a caravan onto spacious camping fields with electric hook ups, or trade canvas for one of the spruce built glamping pods, each with its own hot tub. It sits within a genuine Peak District farmyard, and in summer you can spot the farm's Aberdeen Angus cattle and pedigree Dorper sheep grazing in the fields around you. Facilities are simple and well kept, with hot showers, toilets, pot washing and a small shop for basic groceries, and there are a couple of touches that lift a stay: you can hire a fire basket to keep the family warm after dark and order fresh homemade Italian pizza from Angelica for an easy evening meal. Walking is the big draw at Knotlow Farm, with the Limestone Way and the dales of the White Peak on the doorstep and the villages around Flagg within a stroll. Reviewers highlight the warm welcome, the clean facilities and the peaceful setting. Check current opening dates and book through the Knotlow Farm website.
