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 has everything you need and more. It was our second stay and we would love to visit again. Extra special was the hamper that was left for us and our dog was spoilt with treats and a toy plus she really loved the comfortable dog bed .

We really appreciated the level of equipment in the kitchen, it really made cooking for Christmas much less stressful! Our dogs liked the treats and dog beds provided. The house itself is located in a very quiet residential area 10/15 mins walk from the centre of Buxton - perfect for accessing he town and exploring more widely. A great Christmas break.
