Originally a Roman spa town, due to the constant 28°C of Buxton's eight thermal springs the town reached its peak in the 18th and 19th Centuries under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire. The Palladian grandeur of today's town was designed and built by this family, including the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens and The Opera House. Visitors continue to enjoy these buildings and gardens, as well as a full programme of events at the Opera House, in addition to the annual Festival of Music and Arts. Close by, walkers and cyclists can enjoy numerous trails and paths, which lead into the stunning scenery around the town.

The loft was so lovely very comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful part of our countryside wish we could have stayed longer. Thankyou

The property was clean & we immediately felt at home. The location is a little out of Buxton, so a car is a necessity. The only slight issue for us was that the listing said there was a shared laundry facility. What we were shown certainly needs some TLC. The property is not the biggest around, but was fine for two of us. I would imagine 4 would get a bit congested. However, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend the property.
