About
These three superb holiday apartments, Apartment 1 (2 bed & 2 bath), Apartment 2 (2 bed & 2 bath) and Apartment 3 (3 bed & 2 bath), can be found in the heart of historic Buxton, just a few steps from the wealth of attractions and facilities that the spa town has to offer. Set within a Victorian Grade II listed building, the apartments are spacious and contemporary. Fully refurbished in 2018 to a very high standard throughout, the décor is stylish and elegant, offering pure relaxation in a light and airy space.
Buxton is a family friendly town with plenty of outdoor space, leisure facilities, and tourist attractions including the Buxton Opera House, which can be reached in a mere 3-minute walk. The town centre is only 250 yards away with numerous pubs and restaurants within a 200 yard radius of the apartments. A public swimming pool is open all year in the Pavilion Gardens located next to the Opera House, and the gardens are a beautiful place to have a picnic on a warm summer’s day. Famous Pooles Cavern and Buxton Country Park are a 15-minute walk from the apartments, and is also home to the popular Go Ape climbing attraction. There are plenty of opportunities for golf in the local area, with both the Cavendish Golf Club and High Peak Golf Club located close by.

The Devonshire Dome with its amazing roof, and which is now home to the University of Derby, is only a stone’s throw away from the apartments.

Endless amounts of walks and cycle routes can be enjoyed at the nearby Tissington Trail, Monsal Trail and Goyt Valley. A number of Peak District towns and villages are within easy reach such as the fascinating plague village of Eyam, Castleton with its caves and Bakewell, famous for its pudding, all within half an hour.
