What Guests Say
The most wonderful time of year in the most wonderful house
“My family and I recently stayed at Angela’s property in Buxton and from the moment we arrived we were blown away. This beautiful period property is furnished to the highest standard, it’s breathtaking. As soon as we stepped into the large kitchen we were all impressed, the under floor heating, the mod cons and preservation of old features combined….the gift basket and note.. what a wonderful surprise. As we explored the downstairs, every room was met with a ‘wow!’ as we discovered more beautiful features. Original fireplaces, beautiful carpets and furnishings, delightful Christmas wreaths. The front lounge is incredibly comfortable and the elevated position with the front steps winding up to the house is, according to my niece ‘like something from a fairy tale’ I would quite agree! I could go on and describe every room, all of them so beautiful, pristine and including original features of the house. Each room has a large ensuite, ours on the third floor had an amazing bath and shower and more welcome underfloor heating. We all had an incredible family Christmas here, all seated around the large dining table with a fire roaring and integrated Sonos sound system playing carols, it was truly magical. It could only have been made better if I could conjure up a piano, although those having to listen to me play might have disagreed so in fact, it couldn’t have been more perfect for us. I would highly recommend Angela’s house to anyone wanting to visit this incredible part of the country. The Peak District has so much to offer for all ages and from Angela’s you have it all within easy reach, with beautiful walks straight from the door. Although we never met as check-in was so seamless, Angela is fantastic and ensured everything was perfect for our family visit, including extra treats for the children and Christmas decorations, all of it so appreciated by the entire family. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this property again and am currently looking for another reason to do so, it’s wonderful.”

Weekend with friends
“Wow! What a fantastic house! We are thrilled with the accommodation…”
“8 of us spent 4 nights in this beautiful house during September 2019. The house was clean, extremely comfortable and well equipped. The location was close to the centre of Buxton and a short walk from shops and restaurants. I would definitely seek to rent this house again for future visits.”

Beautiful Victorian house with touches of home
“Visiting from New Zealand we were keen to stay in Buxton where we used to live. We feel so lucky to stay in this house. It had everything (and more) that we needed and we felt like we were home. The lovely owners even added Christmas decorations and a tree. All we had to do was enjoy the house and explore my home county of Derbyshire. The house is so well located, we walked to the shops, park, Opera house and train station within ten minutes. It’s easy to catch the train to Manchester and to drive to Derby and Wilmslow to catch up with friends. We could not have asked for more.”

Great house and great location
“We stayed as a group of friends over the early bank holiday weekend. The house was a perfect base and Angela has ensured that everything that you could think of has been catered for. The house is a pleasure to stay in and has been beautifully decorated whilst having all modern conveniences. Would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to explored the peaks.”

Angela has here an outstanding house. It has been superbly restored to an exceptional standard
“What can I say other than wow! In every aspect this house is outstanding. The level of finish and decor is beautiful, my favourite being the stripped pitch pine stairs and landing a real feature. All the bedrooms are lovely and very well finished all with very nice en-suites. The whole house is spotless and has a newly restored feel not a mark on anything. So much so that all kitchen tools, appliances and cutlery are virtually brand new. A super example of a sympathetically restored Victorian villa. As for Buxton great place to base yourself more walking than you can shake a stick at, we also cycled the Monsal trail which was great and quenched our thirst in the Buxton Brewery Tap (great spot). We will certainly be back – I hope!”

Buxton stay
“We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous house. The downstairs rooms were ideal for enjoying a celebratory meal and drinks together. The ensuite rooms were beautiful. There was everything we could possibly need for a fairly large family group; the kitchen was very well-equipped for making all sorts of meals. It was very convenient for walking into the town centre, spa and theatre past the park. And there was a small supermarket and a couple of pubs just a few minutes up the road. Angela was helpful and attentive. It helped to make a special birthday celebration with family absolutely perfect!”

If beauty is in the detail, you have achieved stunning magnificence in this home
“The art, the architecture, the level of comfort you helped us achieve here was beyond compare. This was the perfect place to call home during our stay and I hope to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you for being a wonderful host and sharing this with us!”

Beautiful house in great location
“West Road was the perfect accommodation for 5 family members over 3 generations celebrating a significant birthday. With 4 large en-suite bedrooms, all with luxury bathrooms, everyone had plenty of private space to relax while kitchen, dining room and living room provided lots of space for eating and socialising. A map may suggest it is some way from the town centre but it actually provided a perfect opportunity for a leisurely stroll through the length of the Pavilion Gardens on the way to eating out. The walk culminates in views of the outstanding Opera House and the Pavilion itself before reaching the Crescent. Many options were available for eating out with personal recommendations from the host.Buxton is the most beautiful location in the Peak District and with its off street parking West Road is a great base from which to visit the town and surrounding area.The hosts thought of everything and provided a wonderful welcome having cared to ask about our special occasion. They were most helpful and we would love to visit again in future. We thoroughly recommend this property.”
