t 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 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.

The bedrooms are top class and the living room very spacious. It was great to have a dishwasher and a washing machine. The off street parking is convenient too but a little awkward to park in. After the 2nd or 3rd day I was able to park there without difficulty. The only suggestion I would have is to improve the WiFi in the apartment if possible - it worked well in the living room but not in the bedrooms. Overall the apartment is very comfortable and I will probably rent it again the next time we go to the Peak District. As noted above the apartment is close to the Buxton Brewery Bar, and nice restaurants⦠Greek, Spanish and Thai.

Property was very clean and tidy. Very well presented, warm, and tastefully furnished. It was quiet at night and we all slept well in comfortable beds. Kitchen was well equipped and the was even storage space for groceries, which is surprisingly uncommon with holiday lets in my experience. We thought the property would benefit from a WiFi booster in the hall as we struggled to connect to the internet in the bedrooms.

Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Washer came in handy as backpackers for the week. Sat out a few times in sun trapped garden (when we got any). Bed very cosy. Family business who care about the property and their guests thank you Damian and your Mum, for doing her bit too. Close to shops, the crescent and railway station. Lovely walks and countryside. Glad we choose you cheers.
