About this property
A detached, renovated cottage situated within the delightful spa town of Buxton. Resting in a central location, and boasting spacious interior, this accommodation is a perfect getaway for families. Step into the immaculately presented sitting room, which is a charming place to sit before the open fire. A dining room lies off from this, and makes a wonderful setting to enjoy those home-cooked meals. This sweeps over to a nearby kitchen, well-equipped and tied together by a light blue tone. Take the stairs, and the landing steers across to three double bedrooms which overlook views of Buxton. Lastly, a family bathroom breathes elegance into the property, and has everything you need to enjoy a refreshing stay. Outside, there is a place to store your bikes, a lawned garden to the front with a glorious seating area. The town of Buxton has a lot to offer with Devonshire Dome, The Pavilion Gardens, The Opera House and Hall Bank all on your doorstep. This is a well-appointed cottage in a vibrant location.
It was the constant 28 degrees centigrade of the blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs that originally attracted the Romans to the town. Today visitors continue to enjoy 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 hills and dales to the south and a number of towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale.

Lovely size rooms, nicely furnished with everything you need, and right in the heart of Buxton, a couple minutes walk away from everything you could want. Hayley (the owner) was very welcoming and helpful, perfect welcoming gifts and a drawer full of local tourists leaflets for inspiration of where to visit, i can't recommend it enough!

Bonus was the handy parking right outside. There are so many great places to eat out and we made full use of them, no need for any cooking, now thatâs what I call a holiday. Grateful to owner Hayley for informing us we could access the cottage early, so thoughtful. We also really appreciated the welcome wine and biscuits.

Perfectly located for the shops, pubs, eateries and everything Buxton has to offer. The cottage itself is very comfortable, well equipped and had everything we needed for our short break. The off road parking was a bonus and was really appreciated. All in all, we really enjoy staying at Bank Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to book and stay there again in the future.
