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 was in a really good location close to town (quiet too) and the allocated parking was handy. The hamper was a lovely surprise with treats for both human and dog guests. We meet Tessa, the owner, on arrival and was made to feel very welcome. We would definitely look to stay again in the future and would recommend the property to others.

The house is a real home from home. Tessa, the host, has thought of everything to make her guests feel comfortable and welcome. We could not fault the facilities provided, which were all top notch. The welcome hamper was outstanding and even provided treats for the dog. The house was decorated, tastefully, for Halloween, which my granddaughter loved. The house is in an ideal location to walk into Buxton, to sample all the delights on offer there, and the wider area. Thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Clean and organised and very well equipped. The location is also very convenient for walking into the town and for using as a base to explore the wider area. Allocated parking at the front door is a huge plus point too. Iâd recommend this property.
