It was the constant 28 degrees centigrade of the bubbling blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs that originally attracted the Romans to the town. However it was during the 18th and 19th centuries, under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire, that the Palladian splendour of the Buxton of today was designed and built - including the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens and The Opera House. Today visitors continue to enjoy these magnificent buildings and gardens, as well as the Opera House's full programme and annual festivals of music and arts. There is good walking close by with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south and a number of pretty towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale. The stunning properties of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy driving distance and must be seen while visiting this area. A great base for exploring the Peak District.

It is spacious with enough room for the whole family to have enough room to hide from each other. Would definitely recommend this apartment. A summer weight duvet would be a great addition to the property as the winter weight duvets were too warm. It's also worth noting that there is no terrestrial TV.

Generally it feels like a "luxury" property. As a new EV owner I particularly appreciated the chargers (I think that is now a requirement in new conversions). Kitchen equipment was good (though we still aren't sure what the thing in the middle of the hob was for), dishwasher, fridge etc. all good. We never used the washing machine. Looking at the back of the units the wiring install looked professionally done. The main living room/kitchen/dining area (one big area) was very comfortable. The property is on a nice quiet road, but also very close to town. The shared entrance was clean, access easy, and no noise from the other residents. Things that could be improved: 1. There's nowhere to hang/dry wet clothes. I wear a lot of wool, which can't be tumbled dried. Also, this is the Peak District, where some people will be walking and get wet. Some sort of line, outside, would be a huge improvement. This is something to bear in mind if you are keen walkers. (the rest of this list is really for the benefit of the owners.) 2. Our bed wasn't massively comfortable. 3. There were hardly any instructions for the appliances. We never really worked out the television. Other things we got working, eventually. 4. At least one of the instructions in the "welcome pack" is incorrect. The consumer unit isn't in a bedroom, so when an RCD tripped it took a fair bit of rummaging round to find it. I've corrected that in the welcome pack. 5. No shower curtain. Not sure why the owners didn't fit one. It doesn't affect residents that much, but over time there will be water damage/leaks in the bathroom, which the owners will have to deal with. Also in the bathroom, it would be good to be able to open that Velux somehow - it gets very steamy in there, with condensation all over. The extractor fan is as useless as most of them are.
