Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Lovely home, excellent location
Few minor items that need addressing
Lack chopping boards
Cooker hob light not working
Under counter light bulbs blown
Heater in games room not working
Light at bottom of stairs not working
Sign on garage faded could do with renewing to deter people parking
Would not stop us from staying again."
We loved it so just our thoughts
Thank you for the feedback it really helps to know as there certainly use to be chopping boards and didn’t know the heater wasn’t working so really appreciate the heads up

"TV wasn't working and owner already knew about it."
Broken lamp bulb in lamp. Hair in shower plugholes. Greasy, dirty oven trays and hob splashbacks. Definitely not vacuumed around edges or fireplace prior to arrival. Asked to clean before departure - no cloths, empty cleaning product bottles. The vacuum cleaner dropped more fluff than it picked up! The dryer water filter was overflowing when we went to use it. Parking in garage impossible as always cars parked in front of it. Somewhat underwhelmed.
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you did not have a better experience. The issue with the TV has now been rectified. We are sorry you were not happy with the cleanliness of the house as we don’t usually have a problem with our cleaners but we have passed on your comments and will monitor them.

"This is a very good property, and the space is great."
It was well-positioned in the centre of Buxton, easy to park two cars, and extremely comfortable except for one bedroom (hence losing one mark). The house is very well equipped. It was easy to park, and Morrisons is only a walk away. You could have a good holiday here without a car, as everything is so close. Of the three double bedrooms, one has the boiler in, with a sign to not switch it off. However, having the boiler on meant the room roasted, and was extremely difficult to sleep in. Also, the boiler timer ticked incessantly all night, and anyone switching a tap on made a very loud noise in the pipes in that room. You could also hear any noise in the room below from there. My son and his wife who were in the room did switch the boiler off so they could sleep, which meant we had no hot water to shower in the morning until he woke up and we could switch it on again. Inside the house was very clean. However, outside, the gate to the neighbour's back yard was broken and off its hinges (and we had a dog with us), and the passage between the two houses was scruffy, particularly compared to others in the row, with broken slates, etc. on the ground (hence one mark off for cleanliness).
Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, which we felt was better than our expectations.
Thank you for taking the trouble to leave a review. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry your son and his wife found the boiler disturbing. The gate has been fixed and the garden is secure for pets again.

"Buxton was a great spot for our break and the house was very well situated, an easy walk into the town centre and to the large supermarket."
The welcome pack was superb and the provision of logs for the wood burner was greatly appreciated and saw us through the first 2-3 days. Lots of books, games and jigsaw puzzles was a nice touch too. The kitchen was a good size, with all key appliances and the first floor bathroom was very good. Living room chairs very comfortable and the dining table was a good size, plenty big enough for 6 people. The beds were all very comfortable, everyone slept well. We did have a small issue with the dishwasher, and the owners responded really quickly to get it sorted. The on-street parking was easier than we had feared, even when we had three cars there. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
Thank you for your feedback we are glad you had a great stay.

The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of utensils. Not toddler proof but we managed (owners did supply a fire guard when asked, thank you) we brought our own high chair. I booked for a child should have booked for an infant so my error. The beds were comfy. Great location to explore Buxton and surrounding areas.

Sarah and Cath left a lovely welcome pack, even including treats for the dog. Street parking, although busy, was not a problem despite having three cars, we used the garage to accommodate a Ford KA with no issue.
We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone considering a visit to Buxton.

"This was a lovely cottage on a residential street, with just about enough room for on-road parking (and parking in front of the property's garage - always pays to read the welcome book!"
). Plenty of room (there were 3 of us, but 6 would fit in just fine), and the place was clean and tidy too. I got a very considerate text apologising that there had been some damage to the carpet caused by cleaners but we wouldn't have even noticed it otherwise. A well-stocked kitchen and lovely set of teas, coffees, chocolates on arrival, and something for our furry friend too! The only thing that was less than ideal was that the skylight in the loft room doesn't really seal properly so you can hear everything that's going on outside, but this was a minor quibble. Very nice property, and we'd recommend it!
Thank you for your lovely review we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Cath and Sarah

"The house was very well equipped and comfortable and in a great location for pubs/shops/restaurants/takeaways, but we did have an issue with dirty carpets downstairs and when we tried to hoover so that our 8 month old granddaughter could crawl around, there was little to no suction on the hoover provided which resulted in my son in law stripping it down and washing all the appropriate parts, filter etc."

Thank you for your feedback . We really appreciated you contacting us during your stay so that we could help whilst you were there. There is now a new hoover at the house and the carpets are being cleaned this week. We are glad you enjoyed your time in Buxton and found the house well equipped.. Thank you Cath and Sarah.

"Off street parking was not as described in listing and was not suitable for our car."
Neighbour very aggressive about on street parking. Check out altered only days before arrival, very early and staff arrived even earlier.
Beautiful house in excellent location as long as steep stairs not a problem. Spotlessly clean and well appointed with good facilities and host very helpful.
We are really sorry you struggled with your parking. There is a garage but it is only suitable for smaller cars and other than that it is on road parking. It was Buxton festival whilst you were staying which I think will have made parking more challenging than usual. We have also spoken to our over enthusiastic cleaners to ensure they do not arrive as early again. I am glad the house was spotless and you enjoyed the house.

We loved the Pavilion where there was an exhibition on & live music. Also visited Monsal Trail, Tramway museum & Chatsworth. Lots of parks and wildlife on the doorstep, I spied a squirrel on the tree from the lounge window! The house itself is in a very quiet area, we didn't hear any noise at all from neighbours! No issues parking outside either. We were very lucky with the warm sunny weather too on our visit. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a coming here as it has everything you need for a great holiday.

It 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 the Palladian splendour of the 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. Today visitors continue to enjoy these magnificent buildings and gardens, as well as the Opera House's full programme and annual festivals of music and arts. There is good walking close by with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south and a number of pretty towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale. The stunning properties of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy driving distance and must be seen while visiting this area. A great base for exploring the Peak District.
