"Lovely, well maintained property."
The only (minor) issue we experienced was a lack of drawer space in the twin room, which was definitely required by the two adults staying in there; I'm sure that this could be easily addressed.
A comfortable, warm and cosy place which was most welcome during our stay as the majority of the week we experienced minus temperatures. Some other reviews, that we read beforehand, stated that the heating was difficult to set-up; we had no such issues (followed the instructions on the hallway thermostat).
Location is good in a quiet cul-de-sac with nice neighbours. However, it is located in an elevated position in relation to the town high street. The fairly steep bank of Holker Road may prove difficult for those less able-bodied. However, taxis are readily available.
A 10 minute, or so, walk along the main road (no banking/climbs) will take you to the market square where there are plentiful places to eat and drink. We took Sunday Lunch in the Cheshire Cheese, a definite 5 out of 10, but we think the Old Sun Inn may have been a better choice.
My wife and I have visited and stayed in the Peak District for over twenty years and this property ranks very highly. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely book Silverlands again. Very highly recommended.
Thanks to the owners for a lovely property.

"This is the second time we've been to Silverlands and it was just as good."
Spotlessly clean and there was everything that we needed including tea, coffee etc which was a nice little touch. I can recommend this holiday home. Only 10 minutes walk to the town centre with lots to do and see but it is down a very steep road, so not good for everyone, although we're around our eighties and can still manage it.

"A very pleasant neat and tidy cottage in an ideal setting close to all Buxton has to offer and well located for exploring the beautiful Peak District."
The bedrooms would benefit from thicker curtains to better obscure the early morning light.

"We had to wash up by hand, as there was no dishwasher - not really a problem."
However, the equipment for washing up was insufficient - only one dishcloth and one very worn foam pad with a rough side for scrubbing, no teatowel for drying crockery etc.
The house was not warm enough, and altering the required temperature in the heating controls as suggested only brought a short-term improvement.

Messing-around with heating thermostat throughout the stay was tedious and we expected washing-up liquid and washing machine tablets to be provided, but, nevertheless, an ideal base for exploring Buxton and its environs.

"Really enjoyed our stay there, bungalow was great but the back garden let it down a bit."
Everything we could possibly need was supplied in the bungalow and there was plenty of storage. Good position, only 10 minutes walk to town centre, could be a problem for some people as the road down was very steep.

"The bungalow was perfect for a break in Buxton."
The house was incredibly clean and the kitchen fairly well equipped.
It was great to have a smart TV, modern oven and fridge freezer.
The twin room could do with a mirror and some drawer space, and the kitchen could do with a sieve.
Our group are invalided and the house had parking which made things easier and we were able to drive to Buxton which although it is close is downhill.
There was a bit of smell which we couldn't identify.

"What an absolute gem of a property!"
Spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable and in a superb location for walking into town. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Buxton and would not hesitate to stay at this property again in future. A very minor note to the owners: the main bedroom could do with a blind or blackout curtains as it starts getting light in the bedroom around 4.00am.

"The bungalow is as described and met our expectations."
It was very cold weather and initially we felt a bit chilled until we realised we needed to increase the temperature on the control unit in the hall. On a few occasions during the day when the central heating was timed to be off, we made use of the electric fire which was effective.
The kitchen is modern, smart and well equipped and it was good to have a large fridge and plenty of cupboard space. The lounge is spacious and comfortable. The bedroom too is large and has a massive amount of drawer and wardrobe space. We found the bed comfortable. A TV in the bedroom would be a nice addition. The WiFi worked well most of the time.
The only minor criticism is that we didn’t find any information on recycling and ended up taking it all home.
The location of the bungalow is very practical, it being only a 7 minute walk to the main shopping street. Aldi, Morrisons and Waitrose are all within easy walking distance, as is the railway station. We had a nice Sunday lunch at the Old Sun Inn and an excellent dinner at the St Moritz Italian restaurant, where the service was very efficient and pleasant.
We had an interesting day visiting Ashbourne, Matlock, Chesterfield and Bakewell by service bus, using the exceptionally good value Derbyshire Wayfarer ticket (senior @ £6.70, available from the Tourist Office). We had only 1 fine day but made good use of it by walking 11 miles on the scenic Monsal Trail.
So despite awful weather we did enjoy our week and would certainly recommend the accommodation.

"A lovely property, exactly as described, well laid out and with a well stocked kitchen."
It is conveniently situated for easy access to the town centre and its parks, pubs, supermarkets and surrounding hills, though the walk back up the hill afterwards can be tiring. It also benefits from pretty fast internet access, which allowed us to take our "Fire Stick" with us and widened our evening entertainment options.
Buxton is ideally located for access to the Monsal, High Peak, Tissington and Manifold Trails. The bike store at the property proved very useful, especially as during our stay it rained most days, and we were able to start our day's adventure with dry bikes.
