About this property

Nestled on the outskirts of the historic town of Buxton, encapsulated by the Peak District National Park is the stone-built Shenton Terrace. This wonderful, dog-friendly holiday home benefits from a welcoming interior completed with two well-appointed bedrooms, a rear garden with hot tub and a fabulous setting close to local amenities and the wonders of the Peak District; a perfect choice for families or friends looking for a getaway with their beloved canine companions. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home where the gentle crackle of the woodburning stove greets you, unwind on the plush sofas here in front of the Smart TV while the designated chef of the group makes themselves at home in the fully-equipped kitchen. Sample their culinary creations around the dining table or step outside to indulge in an alfresco affair before jumping into the bubbling hot tub to admire the stars as they fill. When the sky darkens, head inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the either of the shower rooms before sloping off to sleep in the super-king-size (zip/link) or the double; there is also a sofa bed in the second-floor snug for an additional guest or flexible sleeping arrangements. Make unforgettable memories at Shenton Terrace. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 989696, together sleeping up to 8 guests.

The Romans were initially drawn to Buxton because of its eight thermal springs, whose bubbling blue waters maintain a constant 28 degrees centigrade. In contrast, the Palladian splendour of modern-day Buxton was designed and constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire. This includes the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens, and The Opera House. Today, the Opera House's full schedule and annual festivals in music and the arts continue to draw crowds to these magnificent buildings and gardens. Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton, and Edale are just a few of the charming towns and villages dotted across the landscape, and there is excellent hiking nearby, with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south. Stunning mansions like Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are easily accessible from here. An ideal location from which to discover the Peak District.

    Bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, but I liked the top floor which I used as an office, to catch up with my emails on the laptop.

  • Kevin

    We liked the fact that no dogs are allowed upstairs this is how it should be. The bedrooms were 5 star beautiful bed linen and furniture the beds were so comfortable.
