We had a very enjoyable, comfortable stay at Lavender Cottage. The owner was really welcoming and helpful. The cottage is well-equipped and in a great location for Buxton town centre, as well as travelling out and about. We highly recommend staying here and would return.

Enjoyed our stay - comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly require, so much so my only comment would be to leave some cupboard space for provisions although there is plenty space on work surfaces. Lovely welcome. Really cosy and comfortable and easy to walk in to town.
