An ideal Buxton cottage situated in a very quiet location with views of open countryside, ideal for family holidays at any time of the year.

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. There is good walking close by and a number of towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale.
