    Plenty of space to enjoy in this well equipped house which was a great base to explore Buxton and the wider area. We had a lovely stay with good contact from the owners.

    The owners keep me up to date of when we could go into the property. Also left us a bottle of wine and some biscuits. Would highly recommend to our friends and family

    Excellent accommodation that is clearly kept to a very high standard. Perfect base for walks and exploration in the Peaks, whilst having all the amenities of a town on your doorstep. Thank you very much for making our weekend one to remember.

    Thanks for such a lovely review and we're really happy to have played a small part in your memorable trip to the Peak District! You'll never run out of fantastic walks with brilliant views and we're lucky to have some great places in Buxton to relax and enjoy a meal, drink or show in the evening, ready to go again in the morning. Hopefully we'll see you again! Property Owner

    The only adverse comment is that the towels and bed sheets could with being replaced.

    Thanks for stopping at the Coach House and we're glad you had a great stay in Buxton. It can be a really beautiful part of the world at this time of year when it's cold and bright and you're wrapped up. We've actually just had a delivery of new towels and bedding and hope to welcome you back soon to explore more of the Peak District. Property Owner

  • "A great base to stay."

    Liked the decor and amount of space we had for the kids to chill out. Some of the family said they would have liked a tv in each bedroom, and more towels. The downstairs bedroom was a little musty (lack of ventilation?). We had no issues with the roadworks at all, we didn’t experience any noise.

    Thanks for visiting Buxton. The Coach House is a great base for exploring the Peak District and is close to loads of the area's highlights. We're glad that the kids had fun and had plenty of space for everyone to relax. Thanks for your review and we'll certainly take your points on board. Property Owner

  • "Location was excellent for a variety of restaurants."

    The cottage itself could do with a little tlc for example: the paintwork was a little tatty, one chair in the kitchen had a broken leg and was cellotaped back together and the mattress in the second up stairs bedroom was also broken, the mattress was caved in on one side and was literally touching the bed frame itself. For this reason two of our group had to sleep in the campervan which we had luckily taken with us.

    Thanks for visiting Buxton. There are certainly lots of quality restaurants and bars in the town and it's great to see them doing so well at the moment. We'd missed a broken spindle on a kitchen chair but thankfully it was still secure and we have now put new chairs in place. The mattress was almost new so, although it was still comfortable when we tested it, we appreciate it had slightly more give than we would have expected. They are high quality hotel standard and still under warranty so we would have tried to get a replacement sorted as quickly as possible if you'd let us know when we got in touch to make sure everything was ok. We really appreciate it when guests let us know about any issues so we can address them. We had new mattresses arrive immediately and they're excellent. We love our cottage and the photos taken recently by Sykes show the care and attention we give to its decoration. Property Owner

  • "The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped but lacks any garden and the only outside space is the car park."

    The sign for the pub is incorrect and misleading. In fact the pub no longer exists and the pub within 0.2 miles is closed. The property is situated close to the extremely busy A6 and there are current road works within 50 yards, very noisy Mon to Fri, 8.00am to 6.00 pm.

    Thank you for your review. We're pleased you found the cottage clean and comfortable. Buxton is well blessed with pubs. The 19th Hole is 200m from the Coach House and there are another two within half-a-mile. They all have good reviews. The sign by the Coach House is because the property used to be part of the Devonshire Arms! We hope that didn't cause any confusion. There is seating at the front of the Coach House and ample parking for two vehicles behind the house should you wish to make the most of the sunshine. The new roundabout about 100m away won't be visible from the Coach House, especially as more trees are planted on the common. Unfortunately the roadworks are out of our control but thankfully they haven't caused too much disruption. Property Owner

  • "Excellent property in a great location."

    Everything was provided in the house and you really couldn't ask for more. Close to Buxton which has the normal high street shops as well as different and quirky shops. We were a little disappointed as we hoped to be able to walk to Buxton from the house but the hill proved too much of a challenge for the older members of our party. But this a minor point and did not impact our holiday at all. Q

    Thank you! There are some great independent shops and cafes in Buxton and it's good to see them thriving. Hopefully see you again. Property Owner

  • "The property has no privacy whatsoever."

    Overlooked on all sides as people pass within a foot or so of lounge and downstairs bedroom windows. Impossible to enjoy a glass of wine sitting outside and looking over the golf course - no seating and a constant stream of traffic (Inc heavy lorries) on the A6 which passes 50 yards away, obstructing the view. Kitchen equipped sparingly - tired pans and cooking trays, lack of basics like scissors. Not a house for the peace & quiet and solitude one expects from a country cottage. I will be emailing you separately with a couple of photos.

    Thank you for your feedback though we were surprised and disappointed to hear of your dissatisfaction. We pride ourselves on our excellent standards which is reflected in our usually excellent feedback. It is a shame that you did not express your concerns when we saw you during your stay as we would have been happy to try and resolve any problems for you. The location of the property has been highlighted as an excellent base to explore Buxton and the wider Peak District so this may not have suited your needs if you were seeking a property that provided solitude. Since reading your comments we have checked the kitchen equipment and are happy that we provide all the utensils a guest could need in a self catering holiday home. Property Owner

  • "This was our first time renting a cottage and our expectations were by far exceeded by this beautiful cottage."

    The property was spotless, the rooms spacious and beautifully decorated, it was absolutely perfect for the three of us and our little dog. The owner Hayley very thoughtfully left a welcome basket and a few essentials in the kitchen. The cottage had an excellent parking area which is always a relief when you don't have to worry about parking. The location was ideal for either walking down into Buxton visiting the shopping areas, cafes, restaurants, or just a little further the Buxton pavilion. A short 10 min drive took us to Pooley Cavern to see the very interesting caves and take our dog around the extensive grounds and a 30 drive took us to Bakewell to the beautiful Chatsworth House (stately home) - well worth a visit, even if you only go to see the vast gardens and features. Overall this was a wonderful break for us and we hope to return there again soon.

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.
