Guests say

Church View is a charming and characterful cottage in Buxton, praised for its cleanliness, cosy ambience, and thoughtful touches like welcome packs. Guests enjoyed the property's proximity to local attractions and its homely feel. Some concerns were raised about parking and the lack of freezer space, but these were minor compared to the overall positive experience.

Guests consistently noted the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' with 'lovely original features'. The high level of cleanliness contributed greatly to the comfort and appeal of the cottage.

The location is highly regarded for its convenience to Buxton's centre and attractions, with everything within walking distance. However, parking difficulties due to road busyness slightly affected the score.

The cottage is frequently described as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with an open fire adding to the ambience. Guests felt at home, though some mentioned the need for blackout blinds and heating instructions.

The property is well-equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable furnishings. However, several reviews mentioned the lack of freezer space, and some suggested minor maintenance could improve the experience.

Guests appreciated the thoughtful welcome packs and the provision of items like kindling for the fire. While these gestures were well-received, it is noted that such gifts are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

The eight thermal springs in Buxton have a constant temperature of 28 degrees centigrade, which is what first drew the Romans to the area. The beautiful semicircular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens, and The Opera House were all conceived and constructed during the 18th and 19th centuries, though, under the patronage of succeeding Dukes of Devonshire. These spectacular structures and grounds, as well as the Opera House's full schedule and yearly festivals of music and the arts, are still enjoyed by visitors today. With rocky peaks to the north and mild slopes and dales to the south, the area is well-suited for walking. Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton, and Edale are just a few of the charming towns and villages that can be found there.

    The fridge needs an icebox / freezer compartment as it is not possible to keep ice cubes for drinks and food items such as frozen pees and ice cream.

    Parking was an issue however at the property as the road was always very busy, so we were not able to park outside the address. The decor downstairs could do with a tidy up as I felt it was a somewhat tired.This was also the case in the bathroom with some peeling wallpaper. The upstairs was lovely, very spacious with comfortable beds.

    Comms was good and stair gates and high chair were supplied in request. Parking spaces were a bit of a lottery so ended up a couple of streets away once or twice and the road noise from the lorries on Vale Rd was very noticeable especially early morning,but overall a good stay
