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.

2 years ago) and took skin off my shin. Oven filthy as were most of the pans/trays. We had too clean most things before we were comfortable using them. My common complaint - do Sykes ever check the property and review the accommodation.

The flat is by and large comfortable and warm. The living room suffers a bit from the hole in the bottom left of the window frame and the radiator being a little less efficient as the rest of the flat (possibly just needs bleeding). The bedrooms were nice and warm, beds very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked, especially crockery. There was a nice package of milk, doughnuts and wine waiting for us, a very nice touch.
