Ref: 950 The Loft   
BUXTON 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 Festival of Music and Arts. There is good walking close by with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south. A great base for exploring the Peak District.

| Previous Visitors' Comments | 'The Loft' was exactly as it should have been, a nice quiet, clean, simple cottage more than suitable for our style of holiday. The location was excellent, and the people friendly. There was plenty of room for our walking and climbing gear.
Mr Catchpole, Horsham, West Sussex
Oct 2007 | We were very impressed with the accommodation. It was spacious and well thought out, nicely furnished, well equipped and very clean. The owners were really friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for the Peak District, National Trust and English Herritage properties and other sites of interest such as the Derwent Valley Industrial sites and steam railway. I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.

Feb 2007 | A good accommodation - lovely to be welcomed with milk in the fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The cottage was very warm, ideal for an October break. The owners were very friendly. Loads of local info in the accommodation. A well-equipped cottage. The local area is fantastic, loads to do and see (too much for one week).
