“The Stables was a lovely place for our family of 10 and plenty of space for us not to be on top of each other.”

Very well equipped and also close to town centre, pubs, restaurants and amenities. Everything you could want close at hand, including a playing field/playground for children and dogs. The only draw back were the showers. The shower head in main bathroom kept swivelling round as you washed and the one in bedroom 1 did not maintain temperature or pressure. Otherwise we had a wonderful week and would certainly recommend this property.

Excellent property and location but one problem with two of the showers ensuite and main bathroom in that thier temperature was very variable

“This is a lovely cottage.”

Spacious and comfortable. It was spotlesly clean, very well prepared and equipped. The garden has a number of sitting areas. It is a short walk into the town centre. There are three showers but the combi boiler means only one person can shower at a time. Parking area good. Access to playground through back gate a bonus.Lots to do in town and a short drive away.

“The cottage is well located and very well equipped.”

The garden is beautiful. All in all a great choice for a family get together.

“Our second visit to The Stables.”

Great holiday home. We love staying here for our annual art trip. Lots of space. The kitchen is well equipped and it really feels like home. We had beautiful weather so we're able to enjoy sitting out in the evening and dining al fresco. Thank you, we hope to return and thoroughly recommend The Stables and beautiful Buxton.

“The only downfall was the 'good old British weather'.”

....the property and surrounding area were perfect. A beautiful, tastefully furnished, clean and comfortable property. Absolutely no shortage of utensils, crockery, cutlery etc., the owners have catered for every eventuality. Beautiful soft white towels adorned every bed, which were all made up with crisp white Egyptian cotton bedding. The garden is such an added bonus. So beautifully landscaped as it stretches above the gentle brook.. You can lose yourself in thought as you sit on the terraced decking or within the garden with only the gentle sound of the brook and bird song. So tranquil. We truly found a hidden gem when we booked The Stables. Highly recommend, and hope one day to return.

“The Stables is a character building fitted out superbly.”

The garden is amazing and the place is maintained well. A truly great place to stay.

“Amazing place with gorgeous garden.”

..photos do not show how wonderful this place is. We will be sure to return. Easy access to range of supermarkets on foot. Quiet. Private. Lots of space. Well equipped. Large entrance hall for coats and boots and bags. Just be prepared for showers which do not always give consistent temperatures or pressure. But they do work well, on the whole, and would not put us off returning. Edale and Castleton just 20 mins away and easy route out of Buxton.

“If anything we said that the photographs advertising this property didn’t do it justice!”

I guess that meant we were all pleasantly surprised. From the photos it looks a bit small and shabby. Totally the opposite. Will definitely stay here again.

High quality property and very well equipped, particularly in the kitchen where there is plenty of everything you would usually expect and some things you wouldn't.

“The Stables were excellent.”

Very clean, excellent facilities, beautiful house and gardens. We were 5 adults and 2 children and all fitted in very comfortably. Would highly recommend this house to others

“Very comfortable, well equipped cottage, ideally situated for town centre facilities and walking/sightseeing on Derbyshire Dales.”

Family loved it.

“A wonderful property that exceeded all our expectations.”

We were a family party of 9 celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The house easily accommodated 9 people with a huge kitchen /dining room and very spacious lounge. The bedrooms are all very comfy and with the numbered doors it gives a very nice feel to the house. The garden is a hidden gem, it would be marvellous on a summers evening. Thank you.

The property

A fantastic five bedroom, semi-detached stable conversion in the centre of bohemian Buxton, on the edge of the Peak District National Park.

This delightful cottage has lots of sociable space making it ideal for a large family get together or group of ten friends.

Inside this lovely cottage there is a well-equipped, modern kitchen with breakfast island, plus a large dining table, making it the perfect place for a hearty group breakfast or an evening banquet fit for a king!

From here step through to the utility room which is great for drying out walking kit and pooch.

This leads on to a delightful garden room with comfy sofas and a living flame stove with double French windows opening out to a beautiful deck with alfresco dining area.

From the deck, you can step through another French window into the delightful sitting room where the very tasteful furniture and soft furnishings make for a very cosy night around the living flame stove, maybe watching a movie or just discussing the next day’s plans.

Complete the circuit back into the impressive entrance hall which has a further table and chairs perfect for a little breakaway group or kiddie’s playtime.

At the end of a very full day, climb the stairs to the extremely comfortable, light and roomy bedrooms all finished to a high standard or maybe take a soak in the large corner bath to ease those aches and pains.

Outside this attractive cottage there is a deck, along with a terraced area elevated over the beautiful garden and from here you can step over the little footbridge which crosses the babbling brook into a further gravelled secret garden with more seating.

Children (and adults for that matter) can run off steam by stepping through a gate straight on to a park with play area and football pitch.

Tempted though you may be to enjoy your whole break in this delightful home from home, it would be a shame to miss out on the almost endless choice of things to do in the area.

Buxton has a great array of eateries, bars, pubs and independent shops and the Opera House has a year-round programme of international stars and shows.

Together with the Peak District National Park a very short hop away, there’s something for everyone every day of the year.

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.
