"Footpath from car park to Flat door dangerous."
Shock to find the only two Windows in Flat covered in scaffolding making the the flat very dark. We had no prior warning of this. Bathroom very dirty, fan full of airs, shower waste blocked, shower head clogged never been cleaned. Shower screen never been cleaned and mould round the sealant of shower tray. The toilet brush dirty. The two seater sofa and matching arm chair were grubby. The lounge lighting very poor. Kitchen toaster had not been cleaned, baking tray dirty, we had to scrub the drinking mugs. On the corner of the building (outside) next to bedroom window was a motion sensor light. This was clearly faulty as opposed to working, came on for 17 seconds and off for 3 seconds all through the night none stop. The light flashing continually through the night through the gap between ceiling and curtains made it difficult sleeping. The bed in our opinion had seen better days. Given the location of the flat which was very good, we enjoyed Buxton very much but with problems with the flat as described we felt it necessary to vacate the flat after 4 nights instead of the 7 we had paid for. We have taken photographs to backup our critic's.
We are sorry that you had issues with our usually very well kept apartment. The footpath from the carpark is the responsibility of the Management Committee; this is the first time we have had any complaint about it, but we have reported it to the relevant people. The scaffolding is there because external parts of the building are being repainted, and we did leave a note in the flat explaining this. Now that all work is complete the scaffolding will be removed. It is a shame that you didn’t advise us of issues that you identified, as the majority could have been sorted out very, very quickly. Thank you for your valuable feedback. All relevant issues have already been acted upon. Property Owner

"Really nice apartment in the heart of Buxton and a five minute walk from many restaurants and 10 minutes from station."

"Fantastic accommodation in a perfect location for exploring the town and nearby attractions."
Good to have off road parking and easy access to the property. Beautifully furnished and every facility had been provided from a hairdryer to a washing machine. Minor issue with the boiler immediately resolved by the friendly owner. Thank you for the milk and red wine - both got drunk! The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was very clean. The property is on a hill, but Buxton is very hilly and wonderfully picturesque. We needed the short walk back to help burn the calories consumed at the numerous excellent restaurants! Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back in the future.
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again Very best wishes Lillian Property Owner

"We really enjoyed staying at this homely, comfy flat."
Its in a fabulous location to enjoy all that Buxton has to offer, especially the Pavilion Gardens which are a few minutes walk away. We loved the modern kitchen and bathroom and really felt like we were 'coming home' every evening, especially when the weather wasn't so good. We really appreciated, too, the comfy bed, wine and milk, and all the extras like flannels, soap etc... it had everything we needed. We had a little difficulty knowing which parking bay to use, and where the entrance to the flat was, so maybe better instructions for this would be good, but otherwise the flat was absolutely perfect and we would thoroughly recommend, and try to return if visiting the area again.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are in touch with the management committee to try and get the numbers on the parking space re - painted and will amend the welcome email so that the location is clearer thanks again every good wish Lillian Property Owner

"What a perfect and delightful flat, it had everything you could possibly need and more!"
! The welcome pack was a lovely touch. It was comfortable, plenty big enough for two people and only 5 minutes from shops, pubs and the park. It is also well placed for walks and touring of the Peak District and Derbyshire, Bakewell is a must on a Monday for the market! The opening to the parking space is not big and not easy to find especially if someone parks on the road in front of the marker stone but drive slowly as you pass the park entrance on the left and you will see it 20 yards further on the right. That is the only negative thing we can say about this lovely flat and it's hardly worth mentioning....
Thank you for your kind response, I am glad you enjoyed your say, I hope we will see you again very best wishes Lillian Property Owner

"The apartment was comfortable and clean, although we mostly ate out, the equipment provided in the apartment was more than adequate."
The apartment was quiet, despite being on a busy road and you heard nothing from other flat occupants. The apartment was very well located, right near the centre of Buxton. There was one drawback however, the parking space was under trees and our lovely car was covered with sticky stuff all over, which took some effort to remove. We therefore parked on Park Road for the remaining time, which was unfortunate.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry about the tree, the gardens are maintained by an outside company, I will se what can be done very best wishes Lillian Property Owner
-
"The Haven was very clean, warm and comfortable."
It is in a great location, quiet but very close to everything Buxton has to offer, with the added bonus of a parking space.
Thank you for your kind feedback I hope we will see you again very best wishes Property Owner

"The property was clean, tidy, comfortable & well presented & had all the facilities needed for a week's stay."
It was very close to the town centre so great for visiting places & with the snow that feel heavily during the 2nd half of the week's stay - very handy to go & buy food & supplies from Waitrose. The owner also kindly offered further days to ride out the snow but these were not needed. If there was 1 very picky criticism it would be the size of the bath towels - they need to have big fluffy bath sheets. But as stated that's picky...though all in all a lovely stay & would be very happy to return
Thank you for your kind comments. have purchased some larger bath towels! Property Owner
-
"Lovely place in a nice location."
Bit more attention to detail with the cleaning. The shower is very slow to drain and more than likely needs unblocking. The nice little teaset was left out and we couldn't use it as it was again bit dirty. Better lighting needed for the bedroom. A peaceful place to stay.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay."
Comfortable and warm (in a freezing cold, snowy week) and very conveniently positioned. We had a bit of a problem finding the flat but once we found Park Road it was ok. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback I'm glad you enjoyed your stay Best wishes Property Owner

-
"A lovely flat in a great location."
Fully equipped and everything you could need was provided. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely use again
-
"Flat very central to Buxton without being noisy or overlooked."
Parking at back of property. Facilities good. Only problem found on last day of stay and owners contacted immediately. Was able to cope until we left the property, although I expect that it would have been dealt with immediately if we had asked.
-
"Good looking and comfortable accommodation."
Excellent location.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Haven."
The flat is very well situated to visit the town centre. It was lovely and clean, and very well furnished and equipped. Although close to a main road and near the town centre it was very quiet. The addition of Netflix was a bonus. We would definitely stay there again. I would rate it as our second best accommodation that we have stayed at over the years.
-
"Lovely property with a well equipped kitchen and nice big living room, welcoming bottle of wine waiting on arrival!"
Really well located for the City Centre and to get out to the surrounding areas, would happily stay here again. Only small complaint was the bathroom door hinges & handle need a bit of WD40 as they're a bit creaky.
-
"We have recently had a wonderful 4 night break here at the Haven."
Blown away by the modernness and high standard of the flat, was definitely home from home to the point that we were not ready to leave. Thank you for the comfy bed to. The Haven is well situated within walking distance to the shops and other places of interest to see, highly recommended. If you don’t fancy staying in and cooking then their are several restaurants within walking distance, enjoy.

"What a fantastic property in beautiful Buxton."
Really well situated with the added bonus of a parking space. Easy walking distance to everything but in a quiet location. The property itself is very homely and comfortable and furnished and equipped to a high standard. Thank you to the owners for the welcoming bottle of wine and milk, a lovely property which we will definitely return to again. Had a fantastic week.
Thank you for your Kind comments Every good wish Lillian Property Owner

"Plenty of detailed arrival information from Sykes and also the owner of the holiday property."
A lovely touch/welcome of a bottle of wine and milk . Beautiful homely property , very well equipped and clean . Despite the stormy and snowy weather the property was cosy & warm too. Beautiful relaxing stay , thank you .
-
"Excellent place to stay, all our needs catered for."
-
"We appreciated the advance correspondence from the agent and owner."
The apartment was beautiful, comfortable and more than met our needs. The only- relatively minor-issue was that we were scratching our heads in locating the allocated parking space, as we arrived in winter darkness, so as not to inconvenience others. I think we did figure it out. Thank-you for a lovely stay.
-
"Even better than we expected."
Spotlessly clean, well equipped and cosy. Bed was super comfortable and possibly the best night's sleep we've had when away. Only 5-10min walk to Opera House, gardens and town. Plan on going here again and would recommend to others.
-
"Excellent property, clean spacious, beautifully furnished and well equipped."
Great location not far from town centre. Finding it using the Sykes map and the name the Haven was a bit confusing as the the property is part of Athelstan Terrace and across the road from where it is marked on the map.
-
"Fabulous apartment, clean, comfortable with great home comforts."
Cannot fault it.
-
"The property is in a great location the property also has everything you could need it is cleaned to a high standard a fantastic place to stay already booked again for next year."
-
"My partner and I booked The Haven for a week at the end of August."
The Haven is in a large building which has been broken up into Apartments. If you come into Buxton from Ashbourne you will come to Park Road on the left opposite a sign indicating the name of the hill - Park Road is circular. We found the parking spaces to be slightly unclear due to the markings rubbing off but didn't have a problem with not being able to park. The apartment is accessed via an entrance which gives access to apartments 1&2. The apartment is compact but spacious and comfortable. The Kitchen was well appointed with a great level of equipment - we had a small issue because the pans weren't working on the hob but we emailed the owner who resolved it very quickly. We did find it a little dark in the dining area- although the windows are huge the trees provide a lot of shade and the lighting didn't help too much. We were slightly confused by the bins - there are two enclosed areas for recycling and general waste bins but the residents seem to rotate the bins for collection out of the enclosed areas so one bin is not with the other ones. We really enjoyed the Haven, it was a great base to explore Buxton
-
"Just right for a few days in Buxton."
A short walk into the centre of town. The apartment not only met our expectations in terms of location but was very comfortable, well equipped, warm, quiet. Would definitely return ourselves for another short break in this wonderful part of Derbyshire, but would certainly recommend to friends.
-
"A comfortable, up-to-date, one bedroom apartment conveniently situated in a relatively quiet location."
The Opera House, gardens, the Crescent and main shopping area are a few minutes walk downhill, although this does mean crossing a main road that can be quite busy. The apartment is at the front of the property and well equipped for two people. We had a most pleasant stay and would certainly consider a repeat visit.
-
"The apartment is in an excellent location within easy walking distance of shops, buses, the rail station and the opera house."
]Athough it is within easy walking distance of all the town facilities it is set far enough back from the road to be lovely and quiet .It is very well equipped and very comfortable. We appreciated the tea and coffee and bottles of wine and milk which were awaiting us. The cooking facilities were generally excellent with a superb large fridge/freezer and a really good cooker/ceramic hob. The only niggle here was that a couple of the pans were losing their non-stick PTFE coating, resulting is some black specks in food cooked in them. Overall we had a superb week and hope to book the apartment again. The only thing that could have improved our holiday would have been a couple of portable chairs we could have taken out into the garden to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather we had all week.
-
"Wonderful apartment within a 5 minute walk into town."
All the little extras including milk and a bottle of wine on arriving were a really thoughtful surprise. I would definitely stay here again
-
"The haven is very convenient for town and was easy to find, good directions."
Unfortunately the outside of the building lets it down as it badly needs renovating. The settee was very low and difficult to get out of, but apart from that we were very impressed with this comfortable flat.
-
"Buxton is great as a base for visiting Derbyshire."
The apartment was in a good position for shopping and local walks. It was quiet at night but onlt 10mins from the town centre. The apartment was very comfortable and roomy.
-
"The property stated that the bedroom had a King Sized Bed this is false information as the bed is a standard double bed as we took our own bedding we were unable to use our own sheet."
As the building is an old Grand House with very large windows it seems very hard to open them other than our little moan a nice place to stay
-
"We had a great to stay at the Haven."
The apartment had everything we needed and was an ideal base for exploring the Derbyshire Dales and Buxton. Thankyou for the bottle of wine and milk....a lovely touch. Hopefully we will return as there is so much more walking to explore.
-
"Lovely apartment very clean well equipped with everything you need."
Close to all amenities excellent holiday.
-
"It was a nice touch to have a pint of milk and a bottle of wine."
Everything was as described and just a short walk into town. The property was spacious and comfortable.
-
"Too many advertising emails from Sykes."
-
"The Haven at Buxton was a super apartment, not far from the centre of town."
The apartment was modern and extremely clean. The kitchen was small but nicely set out and the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen contained everything you could need from shoe polish to picnic containers, as well as the usual range of pots and pans. The apartment was tastefully decorated; the bed was comfy as was the settee in the lounge. If I was to visit Buxton again I would have no hesitation in booking this lovely apartment.
-
"Lovely cosy apartment with everything and more that we needed for our stay."
Great location near the park and only a short walk into town. Good to have a dedicated parking space.
-
"The whole flat was comfortable and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing long weekend."
The bottle in of wine was a lovely added extra!
-
"The apartment was just perfect."
It was a great location, spacious and very well equipped. The owners were very friendly and accommodating providing a cot and highchair for our little one. We will definitely stay here again.
-
"Such a comfortable and convenient flat, very stylish."
Quiet, too, considering its proximity to the town and other residents.
-
"The location was ideal for touring the area."
It was handy having the train station with regular trains to Manchester. We had everything we needed on the doorstep including a wide variety of eating places. The accommodation was very high spec and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.
-
"Lovely accommodation great location have already booked again for next year."
-
"This accommodation ticked all the boxes for our needs."
The owners had thought of everything we could need for our stay, including set up (appliances included a combination washing machine-dryer which we don’t much have in Australia) and daily items like plastic food containers, additional bed linen, shoe cleaning and sewing kits, minor repair kits, batteries etc etc. There was a full range of cleaning stuff as well. The location was quiet and easily accessed. A standard setter in this style of accommodation.
-
"The haven was very well equipped comfy bed ,nice and quiet, superb shower the pavillion gardens a gem,in a lovely town."
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at The Haven."
The apartment was very clean, spacious, and in a great position for a short stroll into town. The apartment had everything we needed. It was lovely and bright, warm and comfortable. (I don’t think I’ve slept in a more comfortable bed!). It was close enough to everything (approx 5 min walk to the Opera House/Pavillion) yet lovely and quiet as it’s set back from the road. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone who is looking to stay in Buxton. We’d definitely stay there again.
-
"A very nice flat , good base for exploring the Peak District , just one request , a headboard on the bed would have been nice as we both like to read in bed, otherwise very good facilities and pleasant and helpful owners."
-
"We had a lovely break at the Haven , very nice apartment with everything we needed."

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.
