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.

    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. I’d recommend this property.

  • John

    The location is excellent. The neighbours we spoke with were all lovely and happy to chat with. There are reserved spaces for 2 cars. The communication from the owners both before and after our stay was faultless. We spent 4 nights here and were incredibly impressed with the attention to detail provided throughout the house. It’s clear that this is a labour of love rather than just about making money. A luxury welcome pack awaited both us & the dog. The bed mattress was super comfy. Towels were pristine & fluffy. Many kitchen items were Joseph & Joseph or M&S. The television was modern with all streaming apps available for personal login. WiFi was perfect. We have stayed in many cottages and caravans over the last 3 years with our little rescue dog, and this is by far the highest standard of accommodation we’ve enjoyed so far. We can’t praise it highly enough & hope to return next year.

    The owners have thought of everything, even for our little dog! (dog beds, bowls, treats, towel, throws for the sofas). The welcome hamper was superb and it was lovely to meet Tessa (the owner) on arrival. The neighbours were also very friendly. The garden is secure for dogs so there were no worries there. Parking was right outside (space for 2 cars if necessary). It is easy to walk into Buxton which we did numerous times over the week. We can certainly recommend staying at Sylvannah.
