  • "We were cold during our stay."

    I suspect that the house was empty beforehand as it was 16 degrees when we arrived and took a long time to warm up. There were no instructions on how to change the thermostat and the boiler was locked in a cupboard and so we couldn't access a boost button. The kitchen and adjoining room were very cold - the adjoining room is probably lovely in summer, but it's freezing in winter with a plastic roof and no heating. The dining room was too cold to eat in and the open fire in the lounge throws out very little heat (a log burner would be much more effective). Once we worked out how to use the mobile thermostat, we could get the lounge to about 19 degrees (at home we run at about 19/20 degrees, so we don't need it super warm. The bedrooms were cold on the first night and there were no spare blankets in two of the rooms and so everyone slept in jumpers. In summer this would be a lovely place to stay, but in winter it's definitely for the hardy.

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.
