"We loved our stay at The Lanterns!"
Damien’s information pack was incredibly helpful. The apartment’s location was fantastic, just a short walk from Buxton town centre, making it easy to explore the area. The accommodation itself was cosy and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We would definitely recommend The Lanterns to anyone visiting Buxton!
Hello Thomas and thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you loved your stay at The Lanterns. You are more than welcome back whenever you like! Many thanks, Property Owner

"A fantastic cottage; an attentive host, comfortable accommodation and wonderfully located for a stroll into Buxton and a short drive beyond into the beautiful Peak District."
Comprehensive property information provided ahead of the stay that contained genuinely useful information. The property owner dealt with a minor maintenance query in a flash. The tea/coffee and cake welcome goodies were much appreciated. There really is very little opportunity for improvement, perhaps only cutting back the overgrowth on the unadopted road leading to the property (including parking) to prevent any unintended scratches to passing vehicles. Thank you for hosting us; I hope to return in the future!
Hello Daniel, You are very welcome! We’re so glad you enjoyed your break and found the The Lanterns comfortable. Thank you for your positive feedback and we hope to see you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"The property is in a fabulous location, with everything within walking distance."
It was very comfortable, especially the beds and had a great shower room. I would certainly recommend staying here.
Hello Robert and thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you had a comfortable break and enjoyed having everything within walking distance. We hope to see you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Another excellent break (4th) at this delightful flat - well located, clean, spacious and containing all necessary facilities."
Hello John, we’re so glad you enjoy coming back to The Lanterns! We look forward to seeing you again next year! Many thanks, Property Owner

"The only thing that is out of place is the drive up from the road, you wonder what you are going to."
Once you arrive at the accommodation it is a very lovely apartment, with all you could wish for, for a great holiday. The pictures although accurate, don’t show the size of the rooms that well. The bonus being the separate kitchen, most have them in the living room these days. Dad (94) and I had a wonderful week here and we would thoroughly recommend. Damian is very helpful and attentive before, during and after your stay, a great host. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Hello Lynn and thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you had a lovely holiday with your Dad. Regarding the drive, when you initially enter it it can leave you wondering where it leads to, but we hope the pictures and detailed directions in the welcome email gave you some assurance it was the right way. The bedrooms; thank you for raising this to us during your stay. We’re glad you found them larger and more comfortable than the pictures suggest. Thank you again for your custom, we hope to see you again in future, Many thanks Property Owner

"The information pack provided before our stay was really useful."
There were illustrated directions, instructions on accessing the apartment, maps and suggestions about things to do both locally and further afield and instructions on how to use the appliances. The apartment was clean and the owners have clearly thought about their customers needs and comforts. Buxton is a lovely town to explore, and transport links are great- especially the buses. We had a great time! Thank you.
Hello Christine, thank you for your positive feedback we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Lanterns and exploring Buxton. We are so lucky to have so many things to do and places to visit on our doorstep. We look forward to seeing you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Lovely apartment, nicely furnished and in such a great location."
Parking was a challenge (or should I say getting in and out of the parking space!). Well equipped, and nice welcome pack was appreciated. Shower was very good and beds comfy. We wouldve liked a smart tv so we could binge watch netflix etc.
Hello Adele, thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you liked the apartment and its location. Regarding the TV, following your report we have found it to be faulty and the Netflix app failing to load. We’ve tried several things to get it up and running to no avail so as a result we will be replacing the TV with a new smart one. Apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused. We hope to see you again soon, Many thanks, Property Owner

"We found The Lanterns to be very comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay."
The apartment is very close to the centre of Buxton with easy access to the Pavilion gardens and town centre. Despite the clear arrival instructions it is not the easiest place to find on arrival in the street and a suggestion would be that the small lantern sign at the entry to the lane is a bit more obvious. When we booked originally the information on Sykes stated that bed linen and towels were supplied. I checked this information on various occasions after booking. We then discovered after we had left home a week before our booking that towels being provided was no longer on the Sykes information. Fortunately the owner supplied them for us without any problem and we were very grateful for this. It was easy to contact the owner if necessary.
Hello Jessie, we’re glad you found The Lanterns comfortable and with everything you needed for your break. We apologise for the sign not being too visible on the lane so we will look into improving this to benefit future guests. And the towels, again we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused but it’s never a problem for us to provide them to guests. Glad you found us easy to contact. We hope to see you again! Many thanks, Property Owner

"The apartment is in a very central location and extremely comfortable."
The bedrooms are top class and the living room very spacious. It was great to have a dishwasher and a washing machine. The off street parking is convenient too but a little awkward to park in. After the 2nd or 3rd day I was able to park there without difficulty. The only suggestion I would have is to improve the WiFi in the apartment if possible - it worked well in the living room but not in the bedrooms. Overall the apartment is very comfortable and I will probably rent it again the next time we go to the Peak District. As noted above the apartment is close to the Buxton Brewery Bar, and nice restaurants… Greek, Spanish and Thai.
Hello Michael, Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your break at The Lanterns. You’ll be pleased to know we now have Wi-Fi throughout the apartment. It was on our list of improvements and we’ve finally managed to install a suitable system. Regarding parking, whilst the space is large enough for 2 medium/ 1 large sized car (or an even a van) we agree that it takes care and attention on the first couple of attempts. But one thing we do benefit from for guests who are still unsure is that there’s always free parking on the road. We are located in a quiet conservation area after all so there’s hardly ever any traffic parked up. Glad you liked the restaurants close by too! We are pretty spoilt for choice and nearly all within a 5 min walk away! We do hope to see you again! Many thanks, Property Owner

"A comfortable apartment ideal for touring the area Buxton has an abundance of bars and restaurants but also a good location for visiting nearby Yorkshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire."
Good communication with owner.
Hello Steve, We’re glad you found The Lanterns comfortable. It sounds like you had a lovely break staying in Buxton and visiting the surrounding areas. Hope to see you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Home from home."
Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Washer came in handy as backpackers for the week. Sat out a few times in sun trapped garden (when we got any). Bed very cosy. Family business who care about the property and their guests thank you Damian and your Mum, for doing her bit too. Close to shops, the crescent and railway station. Lovely walks and countryside. Glad we choose you cheers.
Hello Julie and thank you so much for your positive comments. We do care a lot about the property and our guests and want to make The Lanterns an enjoyable experience for everyone that stays there. We’re glad you experienced this. We hope to see you again soon. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Unbeatable location; train station, the Crescent, the Pavilion, all within a short walking distance."
Property was very clean and tidy. Very well presented, warm, and tastefully furnished. It was quiet at night and we all slept well in comfortable beds. Kitchen was well equipped and the was even storage space for groceries, which is surprisingly uncommon with holiday lets in my experience. We thought the property would benefit from a WiFi booster in the hall as we struggled to connect to the internet in the bedrooms.
Hello Matt, Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed so many things about The Lanterns. We will be looking into a better WI-FI extender to the bedrooms as part of next set of improvements so hopefully next time you visit that will be resolved. Many thanks, Property Owner

"The Lanterns was perfect for our family break in the Peak District."
Easy to walk into Buxton but also a really peaceful location. The flat was extremely clean and tidy and very well equipped. A super cosy base for our family.
Hello Rachel, Thank you for your positive review. We’re glad you found The Lanterns perfect for your family break. We look forward to visiting you again. Many thanks, Property Owner

"The Lanterns is a well appointed ground floor apartment within easy walking distance of Buxton town centre."
The apartment has all you need for a week’s break - there’s also a designated parking space and, for bike users, a secure bike store.
Hello Alexander, Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed The Lanterns and thank you for pointing out our new Secure Bike Store. We’re lucky to have been awarded funding for this from UK Government as part of The Levelling Up Fund, now meaning we are able to offer cyclist friendly accommodation in the Peak District and even more sustainable travel options. We hope to see you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful abode for a very special Anniversary, and we are so happy we did!"
It has everything one could possibly want and more for a relaxing break away. It was spotlessly clean (and we are very picky about cleanliness), extremely comfortable and peaceful. The owners are so lovely and have great, fast communication. The whole process from booking, checking in and leaving was a breeze. The owners have also gone the extra mile on little touches, from personalised The Lanterns items and decor (which made the accommodation feel more like a luxury hotel) to really thoughtful and very generous welcome gifts, all from local Buxton sources. You can tell that the owners genuinely care about their product and that you enjoy your stay to the upmost. The location of the property is perfect, just a short peaceful stroll into the hustle and bustle of lovely Buxton and equally a perfect location for anyone visiting the other wonderful delights the Peak District has to offer. We would definitely book to come and stay at The Lanterns again, we loved it! Thank you very for a wonderful stay!!
Hello Sophie, Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We are really happy you had a wonderful stay for your special Anniversary at The Lanterns. And so happy we were able to offer you everything you could have wanted for it too. We look forward to seeing you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Lovely flat, short walk to town, Damian the property owned was very helpful ..."
Lovely flat, short walk to town, Damian the property owned was very helpful answering any questions very promptly, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a very quiet place to stay in Buxton with parking
Hello Adrian and thank you for your positive review. We’re glad you would recommend us to others. We hope to see you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Another great stay at The Lanterns We love the location and the cosy nature of this property."
Bijou but all the right things in all of the right places with a great log burner in the lounge.
Hello Richard, As always, great to have you back at The Lanterns! We’re glad you love the location and find it cosy. We hope to see you again soon, many thanks Property Owner

"Of all of the Syke's properties we have stayed in this is one of the best, if not the best."
Everything about the property was excellent although getting out of the parking spot was not the easiest. Damian the owner was most helpful and went out of his way to ensure our stay was a good comfortable one. We will definitely recommend The Lanterns to friends and family.
Hello Cliff, We feel honoured to be considered one of the best Sykes properties you’ve stayed in. For all the time and effort that goes into making sure the facilities are maintained to a high standard and ready for each booking, it’s highly rewarding for us when guests recognise this. We’re glad you enjoyed your break with us at The Lanterns and we hope to see you again sometime in future, Many thanks, Property Owner

"Lovely spacious property in a quiet but central location in Buxton."
Well equipped, nice garden area to sit in. Parking space is tight.
Hello Lorna, Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We’re glad you found the Lanterns well equipped and conveniently located, with a nice garden area. Regarding the parking space, unfortunately there isn't much more we can do to increase the size of it, and whilst we regularly have large vans use it when we have maintenance work undertaken, we agree it may require a greater level of care and attention on entry and exiting than some. We hope to see you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner
-
"Thank you for a lovely stay at The Lanterns."

"The Lanterns is a lovely flat."
Very close to the centre of Buxton. It was very comfortable and clean. The owner was so helpful and welcoming. I came with my octogenarian parents so it was great to have everything on one floor and with handy parking. Highly recommended.
Hello Frances, thank you for your positive review and recommendation, we’re so glad you found The Lanterns perfect for you and your parents! We hope to see you again next year, Many thanks Property Owner
-
"Great apartment - spotlessly clean and well equipped."
The owner provided great instructions and recommendation for places to eat and visit. The boiler tripped one evening but was sorted immediately by the owner. Location was great, just a short walk into Buxton for numerous bars and restaurants. I would definitely recommend

"A lovely apartment - comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped."
Perfect location for a short walk into Buxton or for travelling into the Peak District. Comfortable beds and a bright but cosy living room. We really enjoyed our stay in The Lanterns and would consider staying there again if we return to the area. Highly recommended.

"We had a great stay at The Lanterns."
Perfect location for popping into Buxton or driving/getting the train to other places. The Lanterns was really comfortable, clean and airy. We really appreciated the welcome gifts upon arrival and great communication with the owner - nothing was too much trouble. Thanks again

"We throughly enjoyed our stay at The Lanterns!"
The property is beautiful, peaceful and extremely comfortable, it has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing week away. Its location is perfect for exploring Buxton and the wider Peak District. Our host Damian could not have been more attentive and the welcome gifts were much appreciated! Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay and we hope to visit again very soon.

"The Lanterns was very clean and comfortable, very well equipped for us to have a relaxing and enjoyable week."
The kitchen was nicely laid out though the upper shelves were a bit challenging for the smaller person! Damian had thoughtfully provided folding steps to assist with that. The garden was a lovely peaceful haven even though it is so close to the town centre. All in all a great find which we would happily visit again if in the area.
Hello Philip, it’s always nice to receive such a positive review. We’re so glad you had a relaxing break at The Lanterns. It’s this that motivates us to continuously improve our services. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to seeing you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Thsi flat was a good , comfortable base for visiting the Peak District."
It was possible to walk into the centre of Buxton. The car parking space was an advantage, although it was tricky to get into it. We struggled with the induction hob, which was new to us, otherwise the facilities were good. We were disappointed that we were asked to take our own towels. As we were driving on to continue our holiday elsewhere having damp towels in a bin bag was not ideal. Thanks to Damian for "the goodies" and fresh milk on arrival.
Hello Ann, Thank you for your positive review. We are glad you found The Lanterns comfortable, central, and a good base for visiting the Peak District. Sorry about the parking. Whilst we have recently installed lights to improve visibility, unfortunately there isn't much more we can do to improve the space any further and whilst we regularly have large vans use the space when we have maintenance work done, we agree it may require a greater level of care and attention on entry and exiting than some. We're sorry you missed it in the welcome pack that we are more than happy to provide towels on request, we really hope this didn't spoil the rest of your holiday. We will make sure this is much clearer for future guests. We hope to see you again sometime in future and glad you enjoyed the welcome pack. Many thanks, Property Owner
-
"This is a wonderful holiday home; very comfortable lounge and bedrooms, very well equipped with everything you need thought about; very clean and a good shower."
Great location, really peaceful yet only a short walk into the town centre. The welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and cake was a nice touch.
Hello Susan, we’re so glad you enjoyed your break at The Lanterns! Thank you so much for your positive review, we hope to see you again sometime in future. Best wishes and many thanks, Property Owner

"An excellent property in the middle of Buxton, near amenities."
All things you might need during your stay are there and all is in perfect order. It is a perfect spot to start exploring the Peak District. We are keen on National Trust properties and some are easy to reach and nearby. We had a very pleasant stay!!
Hello Petrus, Thank you very much for your kind and positive review. We are so glad you found The Lanterns perfect and very pleasant for your stay! We hope to see you again sometime in future. Best wishes and many thanks, Property Owner

"Superbly clean and well equipped - everything you could expect including Wi-Fi."
Well placed within walking distance of town centre and attractions. Would recommend it to couples and families with small children. Missed a bath however but clearly no space to accommodate.
Hello Colin, Thank you for your positive comments and recommendation to others. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay at The Lanterns and we hope to see you again sometime in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"An excellently appointed flat with everything of a high standard and all you could need."
Open and airy, very comfortable. Located near the Pavilion gardens ideally placed for exploring Buxton and all the surrounding places of interest.
Hello Jeffery, Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re so glad you found the apartment had everything you needed and was comfortable, airy and to the high standards we strive for. We hope to see you again in future, Many thanks Property Owner
-
"The property is in an excellent location, right in the centre of the town."
The rooms are extremely spacious and the property has everything one would need. The welcome pack was a really nice touch. The owner is very helpful and attentive and really helped a lot on the day of arrival as the road leading to the flat was very icy.
Hello Neha, Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your break at The Lanterns, despite the freezing weather on your arrival. We hope to see you again sometime in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"We had a super week in this cosy apartment."
Everything we needed was thought of and the notes provided by the owner were comprehensive and very useful. He checked in with us by text to ensure we were happy with everything. The apartment was spotless and quiet and despite cool foggy weather, we always felt cosy, the log burner was used every night. The walk into town is very short, 5 minutes, and we found plenty to do in the town. Buxton is very pretty and especially at this time of year. As we arrived in the dark we struggled a little to locate the key lock, be ready to use a torch! We’d be very happy to return.
Hello Judith, Thank you for such positive feedback. We’re so glad you found the apartment cosy, well located and spotless, and the information pack very comprehensive. It’s always good to hear when guests have enjoyed themselves. We hope you return again sometime in the future, Many thanks, Property Owner

"We had a lovely break at The Lanterns - celebrating both our birthdays - a real treat."
The property was very comportable - we didn't want for anything and would definitely consider a return visit. The welcome goodies were well received - needed a cuppa when we arrived! Not the easiest place to find in the dark or manoeuvre out of the parking spot in the dark, but we managed - glad I drive a small car. Thank you so much for your understanding regarding the mislaid keys.
Hello Sally, Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your break at The Lanterns to celebrate both of your birthdays. And the cuppa on arrival, you can’t beat it after a long drive up! Regarding manoeuvrability from the parking space, thank you for raising this. Whilst it’s a large enough space for up to 2 cars, vacating it in the dark does require some attention. We will look into getting some additional lighting installed to make it easier for future guests. We look forward to seeing you again in future. Many thanks, Property Owner

"Our stay was very enjoyable."
The property was clean & comfortable & ideally located for our needs.
Hello Julia, Thank you for your positive feedback. We're glad you found The Lanterns clean and comfortable. The location in particular is something that the vast majority of our guests benefit from, being in a quiet conservation area and just a short stroll into the Town Centre and the many other attractions Buxton has to offer. We're glad it was ideally located for you too. We look forward to seeing you again in future. Many Thanks Property Owner

"We have enjoyed our 7 day long stay at the Lanterns."
The location is perfect and walkable to the center of Buxton and many walking trails. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. What really makes this place standout from any other properties we stayed at is the owners attention to detail and generous welcome kit. Welcome kit included local tea cake and coffee as well as two choices of Earl Gray and English breakfast tea. The furniture is so stylish and art displayed on the walls featuring local sites was really nice touch. We really enjoyed outdoor garden seating as well. We will be sure to visit and stay again. Thank you.
Hello Maja, Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed your holiday at The Lanterns, being in the perfect location for the things you wanted to do.

The information pack supplied by the owner was very comprehensive, covering everything we needed to know and by using it we were able to find local walks as well as places to go in the town. The owner kept in touch during our stay and any small problems were dealt with straight away.
Hello Linda, Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your break with us again, and that the information pack allowed you to explore even more. We look forward to seeing you again in future, Many thanks Property Owner

Perfect for access to central Buxton a 5 minute walk away. Owner was very helpful and the Christmas decorations and tree a nice touch (we rented for Christmas).

"Lovey cosy ground floor apartment in a great location for exploring Buxton."
Slightly quirky layout but has everything you need for a relaxing stay with 2 well laid out bedrooms with lots of storage, a bijou but practical kitchen and a lovely large dual aspect living room with a log burner. Being snowed in flagged that the dvd or hdmi connection lead could do with being replaced - a bit of wiggling a few times did the trick in the end… Close to all amenities with Buxton town centre just at the bottom of the hill. Overall a very enjoyable stay and we look forward to coming back without the 7-8” of snow
Hello Richard, Thank you for your positive review. We’re so glad you found The Lanterns comfortable and practical, allowing you to enjoy your stay. Thank you for letting us know about the DVD player, we’ll get it looked into pronto. We look forward to seeing you again soon, hopefully with less snow. Many thanks Property Owner

"The apartment is ideally situated for exploring Buxton and the Peak District more widely."
It is in a quiet, leafy residential area just minutes walk from the town centre. The apartment itself was comfortable, warm, cosy and peaceful; there were no issues with noise from the adjoining flats. The kitchen is small with limited counter space; it was manageable to prepare meals for 2 but would be more awkward for 4. However, the living/dining room is a lovely, light room; it was a pleasure to sit there and relax. Having a private car parking space was a big plus.
Hello Valerie, Thank you for your positive review. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Lanterns. We hope to see you again in future. Many thanks. Property Owner

"Had a great stay at this cottage which is very convenient for central Buxton (shops, restaurants and pubs) and also good for access to walks in the surrounding countryside."
The bedrooms are a good size and comfortable; the bathroom and kitchen and compact and efficient. Central heating is very effective. The living room room is lovely - a double-aspect space, comfortably furnished with a dining table, sofa and chairs and we found the log burning stove very cozy in the cooler autumn evenings.
Hello Neil, Thank you for your positive review. We're so pleased you found The Lanterns comfortable, cosy and conveniently located for everything you wanted to do. We look forward to seeing you again in future. Many thanks. Property Owner

"A smart and very welcoming property with a lovely comfortable dual aspect lounge and well equipped kitchen within a few minutes walk of the historic town centre of Buxton with its many attractions."
Very comprehensive online welcoming pack including many local attractions ,walks etc and easy on site parking. All in all a very enjoyable holiday
Hello John, Thank you for your positive review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at The Lanterns, being comfortable and conveniently located just a few minutes walk to the many local attractions. We're also glad you found the Information and Welcome pack useful. We have tried to make it as comprehensive as possible for guests to be able to make the most of their time and enjoy their stay with us. We hope to see you again in future. Many thanks.

"This is a beautiful ground floor apartment."
It’s really comfortable and warm and well presented. There was a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and cake which we very much appreciated after a very long journey. We couldn’t open the key safe on arrival, so upon ringing the owner, he contacted his mother who lives next door and she showed us the knack. She reassured us not to hesitate to ask for any other assistance we might need. The next day I received a text from the owner who hoped we’d settled in and again said to contact him should the need arise. We would really recommend this holiday cottage. It’s just a few minutes walk from the heart of Buxton, which is a really lovely historic spa town with a lot to see and do and an amazing number of good restaurants.
Hello Jan, We're so pleased you enjoyed you stay with us. Thank you for the positive review. We know you had a very long and unpleasant journey up so we're glad you managed to relax and enjoy your break at The Lanterns. Glad the tea, coffee and local cake went down a treat too! We hope to see you again in future, Many thanks, Property Owner

"We loved Buxton and the position of The Lanterns was perfect for accessing all the great pubs and restaurants."
Make sure you go to the St Moritz Italian/Swiss restaurant just down the road and The Old Sun Inn pub in the Main Street - the food in both was superb. Lanterns was pretty much perfect for me. The beds are really comfy and the bed linen was high quality. It has a very well equipped kitchen and a beautiful lounge. I shall be back next year.
Hello Mike, Thank you for your positive review. We're so glad you enjoyed coming back to Buxton, and even more so that The Lanterns made it the perfect break for you. We look forward to seeing you next year, Many thanks Property Owner

"Property was very well furnished, the beds very comfortable and had made best use of small kitchen space, I struggled to reach the top shelf as not particularly tall, husband could though."
Unable to reach top shelf even with low step provided. Also you needed to put food waste into compostable bags which is fine but no caddy to hold them in so we used a mixing bowl. We would happily stay here again if we visit the area again.
Hello Lynne, Thank you for your positive review and feedback. We're glad you found the beds very comfortable and The Lanterns well furnished for your holiday. A comfortable bed can make all the difference. Being a period property the ceilings are typically a little higher and to make the best use of space in the kitchen the cupboards are a little taller so it can be difficult for some to reach the top shelf without the step. However, to make it easier we have tried to make sure the most commonly used crockery and utensils are stored lower down. Hopefully this helps. We look forward to seeing you again, Many thanks Property Owner

"The Lanterns was a perfect and comfortable base from which to explore the Peak District."
We were so impressed with Buxton and spent more time there than we had planned because there was so much to enjoy. The property was really well situated with everything we needed. We stayed with our two children age 6 and 10 who loved the property. It was lovely and quiet, and nice to also have on-site parking.
Hello Peter, Thanks you for your feedback. We're glad The Lanterns was the perfect base for you all to explore Buxton and The Peak District. It really is an impressive town with so much to do. We're happy we were able to offer you and the children everything you needed. We look forward to seeing you again, Many thanks Property Owner

"Very nice and clean cottage, WiFi was working only in the living room."
Owner of the property said they won’t provide any towels or pillows. Had to speak to sykescottages, finally they agreed to provide pillows. Overall it was a good experience.
Hello Navdeep. Thank you for your review. We're sorry the WiFi was only working in the living room. We are looking into getting this resolved in the quieter months. It's the thickness of the walls that make it difficult for the signal to penetrate into the bedrooms. We are also sorry for the misunderstanding regarding pillows and towels. Had we been made aware of your personal circumstances beforehand we would have been able to accommodate your requirements without any issues. However, we're glad that overall you had a good experience. We hope to see you again soon! Many Thanks Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lanterns, in Buxton."
The flat was clean and very well equipped, with modern fixtures and fittings. In particular we loved the bright, airy living room, while the beds were far and away the most comfortable we have ever found in holiday accommodation. The owner’s instructions, directions and ideas for walks etc were clear and very much appreciated. Although we had been to the Peak District before, we had never visited Buxton - so it was lovely to get to know the place, and with The Lanterns ideally situated just a short walk from all shops and amenities we were able to enjoy all that this beautiful town has to offer. We were very sad to leave!
Hello James, Many thanks for your positive review. We're happy you found the Lanterns clean and well equipped, and even more so that you found the beds the most comfortable you have found in any holiday accommodation. A good nights sleep after a day exploring is what everyone needs! So sorry you were sad to leave but we hope to see you again in future, Many thanks Property Owner

"A delightful flat, with a very comfortable sitting room and cool peaceful bedrooms."
Well located for central Buxton and with a small but pleasant garden area.
Hello John, Many thanks for your positive feedback. We're pleased you found The Lanterns peaceful, cool and comfortable, particularly during the long spell of heat we had during your stay. We hope to see you again in future, Many thanks Property Owner

"Lovely property with everything you could need included."
Little extras on arrival most appreciated. Buxton was a nice place to walk around and the park well worth a visit. I'd suggest a visit to the NT property at Lyme is well worth it as there is lots to see and its very reasonably priced. The owner was in touch on several occasions and his Mom, who lives next door, checked to make sure everything was OK. If we visited Buxton again I'd be more that happy to use this property again.
Hello Bob, Thank you for your positive review. We're so glad you enjoyed The Lanterns, Buxton and the many attractions it has to offer. We look forward to seeing you again, Many thanks Property Owner

We would definitely stay again.

"Everything was lovely, it was great to have a fire as we don’t have 1 at home."
It was a short walk to the centre with plenty of shops and bars( although some where not open due to only being able to drink outside) The only problem we had was the drive up the lane to the lanterns ,we have a low car and it bottomed out about 3/4 of the way up,although it didn’t damage the car but be aware. But all in all we had a very enjoyable stay
Hello Tracy, We're glad you found everything lovely, and that the fire was an added bonus not having one at home. We're sorry you had issues with the lane. We've now re-surfaced it so it won't be a problem for future guests. Thank you for your feedback and the positive review. We hope to see you again soon! Many thanks Property Owner

"The Lanterns was a perfect base for exploring The Peaks."
The place was very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire in the living room and the owner left some lovely cake, tea and coffee for us to enjoy. Would recommend! The Internet was long avalable in the living room which was not a problem at all but might be useful for other people to know.
Hello Ellen, Thank you for your review. So glad The Lanterns was perfect for your break. The local cake is a form favourite amongst our guests so I’m happy you enjoyed it too! We appreciate your comments regarding the WiFi. It’s a problem we will try to solve in the quieter months. The thickness of the walls in the property make it hard for the signal to penetrate into the bedroom so we need to find a solution to this. Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

"It's a lovely comfortable apartment in a good location just a few minutes' walk from the town centre, but in a quiet road."
The dual aspect living room is particularly nice. The little garden is a sunny, sheltered spot. The owner was extremely helpful.

"The Lanterns is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and well equipped for self catering."
The location is excellent, situated up a quiet road yet only a short walk to Buxton's main attractions and eateries. Easy parking at the property and it has a lovely little garden with comfortable garden furniture. It had everything we look for in a holiday home and we would definitely stay again.
Hello Julie, Thank you for your review. We’re glad you liked the decor and found The Lanterns comfortable and with everything you needed for your holiday, including the private parking. We look forward to seeing you again, Many thanks 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.
