Pleased to see an air fryer in the kitchen and own parking space in front off properly was an added bonus. Fantastic location, 10 mins walk to pubs and shops and a lovely large park across the road. We hope to go back next year.

kitchen fully set up including air fryer fridge freezer dishwasher even had milk in fridge and if you wanted a little stronger then pop cork of the prosecco. Good bathroom even though when you put the shower on it flooded the bathroom; comfortable bed just throw of the tog. Great to have dedicated parking no looking for somewhere to park. you can walk easily to all that Buxton has to offer and for sampling the many eateries. All made for a enjoyable weeks break that will be remembered for a long time
