  • “The journey we had to get there, was quite precarious to say the least!”

    We ended up driving the back way apparently to Cowdale Hall Farm, in Cowdale, Buxton! where there were no signs at all at the bottom of this very steep hill that our car being small only just got us there. That was my only criticism, which I informed the farmer about! Also, I was completely unaware we were staying on a farm! The advert for this endearing lovely place does not advertise it as being on a farm! As quaint and lovely as it was. The people running the place were friendly and ...

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.
