Frauke
A beautiful, characterful and supremely well-appointed little cottage, tucked away on a little private lane away from the main road. The friendly hosts run their b&b opposite and were easily contactable by mobile phone- very useful when we ran out of tea bags! The highlight for us was the upstairs living area with a kitchen/diner containing everything you could think of and comfy seating area. We travelled with an age range of two years to 82 years - and it all worked well for us. The walk into town is not too long but Is not the prettiest along residential roads. We preferred to drive in and walk from the pavilion gardens. Overall, a great little place to explore Buxton and the Peak District from!
