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.

Damienâs information pack was incredibly helpful. The apartmentâs location was fantastic, just a short walk from Buxton town centre, making it easy to explore the area. The accommodation itself was cosy and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We would definitely recommend The Lanterns to anyone visiting Buxton!

Comprehensive property information provided ahead of the stay that contained genuinely useful information. The property owner dealt with a minor maintenance query in a flash. The tea/coffee and cake welcome goodies were much appreciated. There really is very little opportunity for improvement, perhaps only cutting back the overgrowth on the unadopted road leading to the property (including parking) to prevent any unintended scratches to passing vehicles. Thank you for hosting us; I hope to return in the future!

It was very comfortable, especially the beds and had a great shower room. I would certainly recommend staying here.
