The majority of guests have reported the apartment to be clean and well-presented, with only a few minor comments on decor not affecting the overall high standards of cleanliness.
The apartment's location is highly praised for its convenience to Buxton's town centre and local attractions. However, some guests have noted traffic noise due to its position on a busy road, slightly impacting the score.

Pleased to see an air fryer in the kitchen and own parking space in front off properly was an added bonus. Fantastic location, 10 mins walk to pubs and shops and a lovely large park across the road. We hope to go back next year.
