Excellent, spacious accommodation, within easy reach of all Buxton has to offer (10 minutes walk to the main shops). Nice & warm, plenty of good quality towels/linen/loo roll etc. The snug was perfect for my son to play on his computer, or watch TV by himself without disturbing others. Good shower in en-suite, nice, deep bath. Several games & puzzles. Proper smart TVs. Reliable WiFi. Dedicated parking space. Recommend the Pig & Pepper bakery round the corner - and Scriveners Book shop, of course!
