The eight thermal springs in Buxton have a constant temperature of 28 degrees centigrade, which is what first drew the Romans to the area. The beautiful semicircular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens, and The Opera House were all conceived and constructed during the 18th and 19th centuries, though, under the patronage of succeeding Dukes of Devonshire. These spectacular structures and grounds, as well as the Opera House's full schedule and yearly festivals of music and the arts, are still enjoyed by visitors today. With rocky peaks to the north and mild slopes and dales to the south, the area is well-suited for walking. Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton, and Edale are just a few of the charming towns and villages that can be found there. Visitors to this region must view the magnificent homes of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, both of which are accessible by car. excellent starting point for Peak District exploration.

Brilliantly situated within easy walk of the bustling interesting town of Buxton with plenty choices for pubs cafes and restaurants. We only took the car out once as so much to do in Buxton. We managed to park outside the house, you just have to choose your times. Plenty parking in next street if not. Lovely comfortable town house, bed so comfy and housewell equipped with everything you could need. Welcome pack goodies much appreciated thank you.

The fridge needs an icebox / freezer compartment as it is not possible to keep ice cubes for drinks and food items such as frozen pees and ice cream.

Parking was an issue however at the property as the road was always very busy, so we were not able to park outside the address. The decor downstairs could do with a tidy up as I felt it was a somewhat tired.This was also the case in the bathroom with some peeling wallpaper. The upstairs was lovely, very spacious with comfortable beds.
