"The property was exactly as described and in perfect condition."
Clean and organised and very well equipped. The location is also very convenient for walking into the town and for using as a base to explore the wider area. Allocated parking at the front door is a huge plus point too. I’d recommend this property.
Thank you so much for sharing how Sylvannah worked for you. It is great to know you would recommend the property. We will continue to do what we can to give our guests a comfortable and special stay. Property Owner

"We have very much enjoyed our week’s stay at Sylvannah - it is a lovely quiet, immaculately clean, very well appointed, comfortable house and the attention to detail is second to none."
The owners have thought of everything, even for our little dog! (dog beds, bowls, treats, towel, throws for the sofas). The welcome hamper was superb and it was lovely to meet Tessa (the owner) on arrival. The neighbours were also very friendly. The garden is secure for dogs so there were no worries there. Parking was right outside (space for 2 cars if necessary). It is easy to walk into Buxton which we did numerous times over the week. We can certainly recommend staying at Sylvannah.
Thank you so much for your feedback and sharing your experience. It was lovely meeting you on your arrival, a real pleasure. We are simply delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Sylvannah and managed to take advantage of being within walking distance of the town centre. Please feel free to return at anytime!

"Sylvannah is a luxurious accommodation."
The location is excellent. The neighbours we spoke with were all lovely and happy to chat with. There are reserved spaces for 2 cars. The communication from the owners both before and after our stay was faultless. We spent 4 nights here and were incredibly impressed with the attention to detail provided throughout the house. It’s clear that this is a labour of love rather than just about making money. A luxury welcome pack awaited both us & the dog. The bed mattress was super comfy. Towels were pristine & fluffy. Many kitchen items were Joseph & Joseph or M&S. The television was modern with all streaming apps available for personal login. WiFi was perfect. We have stayed in many cottages and caravans over the last 3 years with our little rescue dog, and this is by far the highest standard of accommodation we’ve enjoyed so far. We can’t praise it highly enough & hope to return next year.
We are so pleased that how we feel about Sylvannah has translated into the experience you have had staying there. We sincerely hope you will return and we would warmly welcome you. Property Owner

"Slyvannah in Buxton is by far the most comfortable, clean and convenient property we have stayed in."
The facilities are luxurious and the welcome hamper extremely generous both for humans and their dogs. The property is in a very restful part of the town within easy walking distance of lovely restaurants, pubs, bookshops and many other attractions. With a very short drive or 20 minute walk you can find a beautiful nature reserve that we and dogs loved. The two allocated car parking spaces are a boon and there is safe and convenient on road parking for a third car if needed. Hosts and very welcoming and easy to contact if needed. We would recommend the property very highly and would definitely like to stay there again. Certainly top marks all round from us.
Reading your review has brought a smile to all our faces. We are so pleased that you have had a positive experience staying at Sylvannah. We sincerely hope you will return! Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay here, the house was immaculate clean tidy the attention to ..."
We had a lovely stay here, the house was immaculate clean tidy the attention to detail was absolutely perfect, small outside area was great for sitting and relaxing which we enjoyed, beautiful decor in the bedrooms, only tricky we had was the microwave but we managed to sort it, stunning hamper on arrival was lovely touch especially the strawberries, only criticism we felt was to many couches in the living area not a lot of room to manoeuvre about, but would definitely recommend and hopefully we will go back one day
We’re pleased you had lovely stay. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this detailed feedback. It is very helpful and much appreciated. It would be a pleasure to have you stay again. Property Owner

"We had a short break here and only wanted somewhere as a base while we had days out, enjoying the beautiful surrounding area."
The property far exceeded our expectations and would be a very comfortable place to stay if you plan on relaxing more than walking. It was by far the cleanest property we've ever stayed in in 25 years of renting holiday cottages. My husband and daughter enjoyed the Nespresso machine and the welcome hamper was an unexpected and very generous gift. The BT WiFi was very useful, no problems with parking and accessing the key safe was easy. Communication with the owners was excellent. Outstanding holiday let, we would have no hesitation in recommending.
Your review has had us all smiling. We are delighted you had the experience you did. It is encouraging to read your feedback. It makes the hard work worthwhile! Property Owner

It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise - thank you for the goodies and for Meg's (border collie) comfy bed, blankets and treats.

"We absolutely loved our stay at Sylvannah."
It is so well located to visit so many places, such as Castleton, Bakewell, Matlock Bath, and of course Buxton which is just a short walk from the house. Poole's Cavern, as well as the others at Castleton are nearby, and High Peak Bookstore and Cafe were a delight on a rainy afternoon, plus there are so many walks you are spoilt for choice (Thor's Cave, Lud's Church, Ladybower Reservoir, Dovedale, Chee Dale, Peveril Castle to name but a few). What made our stay so lovely though was all the thoughtful extra's at the house, which really made it a home from home. There was everything we could possibly need, plus so much more. We particularly loved the decor, the enclosed garden, the comfy duvet's and the soft towels. Thank you for the welcome basket, it was lovely, and there was even a little something for the dog. My daughter's, the dog and I would happily return, as not a day went by that one of us didn't comment that we would love to live there.
Hello Abigail We are so grateful to receive such wonderful feedback about the Peak District with all it has to offer. Thank you too for loving Sylvannah! It is our desire that Sylvannah should give guests a pleasant relaxing retreat after sight-seeing. We hope you will return again in the not so distant future. Warm regards Alastair, Diane and Tessa Property Owner

About the location
BUXTON
Tideswell 7 miles; Bakewell 12 miles; Matlock 21 miles.
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.
