We had a great stay at this house in Buxton with our family of four ( our two kids are aged 8 & 13). The house is beautifully decorated, and every room has its own unique style. The kids loved the Swirl Room, and we thought the Velvet Room felt really luxurious. The bathrooms were spotless and had everything we needed. The living and dining area was really spacious, with a big table for dinner and a comfy sofa for chilling out in front of the smart TV (happy kids!) The kitchen had all the essentials, which made cooking super easy. The private parking space at the back was a big bonus – so convenient, especially in a busy town like Buxton. The location was perfect for exploring, with the Pavilion Gardens and other attractions just a short walk away. Overall, a really comfortable and stylish place to stay – ideal for families like ours! We would definitely stay here again.
