The second bedroom would be better with a singe bed, leaving more room for clothes storage. The bathroom floor needs some maintenance and the hot water in the kitchen took ages to come through. Very well equipped kitchen and it was nice to have access to some basic staples such as seasonings and oil, dishwasher tablets and kitchen cloths. Overall a good central place to stay with safe parking and close to shops, restaurants and Buxton attractions.

The accommodation was perfect. Having the hot tub was great too. We were able to walk from the cottage into the beautiful village. Would highly recommend and would definitely return again.

The Grooms Cottage was the ideal location for our family break, with the added bonus of the hot tub to soak in after a dayâs exploring, we loved it!
