  • "We noticed in the Visitors book earlier visitors complained about cleanliness of property on arrival but we found everything OK, obviously acted on complaint."

    Couple of light bulbs were out (one in the Master Bedroom on 1st floor - bedside table lamp) and kitchen sink missing sink plug. Would also invest in bigger towels for bathrooms but other than that OK High traffic areas (hallways & staircases) need a bit of TLC but kitchen well equipped.

    Hi Stuart, I am sorry to hear about you reading old reviews. I took the property on in July so I hope this was before my time. In regards to the light bulbs and sink plug, thank you for notifying us, we have now got these issues sorted. I hope we can have you and your family as guests again. :) Property Owner

  • "Great location, very clean, comfortable stay."

    As we arrived quite late in the evening it would have been nice to have had some milk in the fridge as shops were closed. We would definitely book again when next in the area.

    Hi Rita, Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us. We are really thankful for your kind words about the property and look forward to hosting you again really soon. Thanks, Joshua Property Owner

  • "This is a great house, right in the centre of Buxton, great for shops, restaurants, pubs, the Buxton Opera House, Baths, Pavillion Gardens, buses, trains and great access to the Peak District."

    It has plenty of room for a family get together. Parking can be a trial, but you always get somewhere within a short walk. Joshua, the owner, was very responsive to any messages sent.

    Hi John, Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Rock House. We are so glad you enjoyed the house and the area. We would be more than happy to have you and your family stay again with us. Joshua 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.
