What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a very good property, and the space is great.

  It was well-positioned in the centre of Buxton, easy to park two cars, and extremely comfortable except for one bedroom (hence losing one mark). The house is very well equipped. It was easy to park, and Morrisons is only a walk away. You could have a good holiday here without a car, as everything is so close. Of the three double bedrooms, one has the boiler in, with a sign to not switch it off. However, having the boiler on meant the room roasted, and was extremely difficult to sleep in. Also, the boiler timer ticked incessantly all night, and anyone switching a tap on made a very loud noise in the pipes in that room. You could also hear any noise in the room below from there. My son and his wife who were in the room did switch the boiler off so they could sleep, which meant we had no hot water to shower in the morning until he woke up and we could switch it on again. Inside the house was very clean. However, outside, the gate to the neighbour's back yard was broken and off its hinges (and we had a dog with us), and the passage between the two houses was scruffy, particularly compared to others in the row, with broken slates, etc. on the ground (hence one mark off for cleanliness). Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, which we felt was better than our expectations.

  We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful abode for a very special Anniversary, and we are so happy we did!

  It has everything one could possibly want and more for a relaxing break away. It was spotlessly clean (and we are very picky about cleanliness), extremely comfortable and peaceful. The owners are so lovely and have great, fast communication. The whole process from booking, checking in and leaving was a breeze. The owners have also gone the extra mile on little touches, from personalised The Lanterns items and decor (which made the accommodation feel more like a luxury hotel) to really thoughtful and very generous welcome gifts, all from local Buxton sources. You can tell that the owners genuinely care about their product and that you enjoy your stay to the upmost. The location of the property is perfect, just a short peaceful stroll into the hustle and bustle of lovely Buxton and equally a perfect location for anyone visiting the other wonderful delights the Peak District has to offer. We would definitely book to come and stay at The Lanterns again, we loved it! Thank you very for a wonderful stay!!

  We found The Lanterns to be very comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay.

  The apartment is very close to the centre of Buxton with easy access to the Pavilion gardens and town centre. Despite the clear arrival instructions it is not the easiest place to find on arrival in the street and a suggestion would be that the small lantern sign at the entry to the lane is a bit more obvious. When we booked originally the information on Sykes stated that bed linen and towels were supplied. I checked this information on various occasions after booking. We then discovered after we had left home a week before our booking that towels being provided was no longer on the Sykes information. Fortunately the owner supplied them for us without any problem and we were very grateful for this. It was easy to contact the owner if necessary.

  Whilst the property itself was well presented and tastefully furnished, there are some issues to feedback.

  Firstly the grass had not been cut, it was at least 12” high, we therefore had to cut it before we could use the garden. The garden was not enclosed, as our 2 small dogs were able to get through the ornate fencing, we therefore had to create a barrier with bin bags, not ideal and not very relaxing. One bathroom, especially 1 toilet, for 2 families was a push; no shower mat and no bath mat provided; no proper bin; no recycling instructions - had to go on line to look these up; no stair gate to prevent dogs going upstairs; bike store locked so unable to be used; ‘on leaving’ cleaning instructions were unbelievable! Really do you expect guests to do that, yes leave it clean and tidy but not go to that extreme.

  Buxton was a great spot for our break and the house was very well situated, an easy walk into the town centre and to the large supermarket.

  The welcome pack was superb and the provision of logs for the wood burner was greatly appreciated and saw us through the first 2-3 days. Lots of books, games and jigsaw puzzles was a nice touch too. The kitchen was a good size, with all key appliances and the first floor bathroom was very good. Living room chairs very comfortable and the dining table was a good size, plenty big enough for 6 people. The beds were all very comfortable, everyone slept well. We did have a small issue with the dishwasher, and the owners responded really quickly to get it sorted. The on-street parking was easier than we had feared, even when we had three cars there. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
