About this property
Nestled in the heart of Buxton, just paces away from attractions and eateries lies this grand, four-storey holiday home, 95 Dale Road. Brimming with character, with a woodburning stove, feature fireplaces and a stone-fronted exterior, this property is ideal for a large group of friends or a family. Park up at the foot of the home on the driveway and make your way inside to discover glass-stained windows. Kick-off your muddy boots and house them in the boot room, ready for an adventure-filled day. Unwind in the sitting room on the plush sofas and let the gas fire warm your toes as you watch your favourite shows on the TV. Step over to the kitchen/diner with its lovely herringbone floor, here the designated chef can use the electric range cooker and hob to rustle up tasty dishes for the group. Settle down at the dining table and why not uncork a bottle of fizz to celebrate your getaway? On warm evenings, open the bi-fold doors to dine alfresco in the courtyard, as well as bike storage. Climb upstairs to the first floor where you will discover a bathroom and three king-size bedrooms, one with a freestanding bath for a soak. There are three more beautiful king-size bedrooms on the second floor, as well as two more stylish bathrooms. Each floor offers a cloakroom with a WC too, so you don't need to worry about morning queues. Awaken with a refreshing rinse in the walk-in shower or melt your stresses away in a freestanding bath. If you can tear yourself away from this marvellous home, set out on foot to enjoy a home-cooked breakfast at a quirky café. Buxton has something for everyone, uncover its rich history at Buxton Museum & Art Gallery, watch live performances at Buxton Opera House and admire the landscaped gardens at The Pavilion Gardens. Be sure to visit the market town of Bakewell, home to the famous pudding (Bakewell tart) and the Tudor design of Haddon Hall. You can sample branded beer at Thornbridge Brewery, along with a guided tour too! Escape the hustle and bustle with a road-trip to the wonderful Peak District National park; explore the dramatic landscape on foot, two wheels or horseback to truly enjoy the experience. For memories you will cherish, secure a stay at 95 Dale Road.
The boiling blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs, which are always 28 degrees Celsius, originally drew the Romans to the town. The Palladian beauty of today's Buxton was constructed and developed during the 18th and 19th centuries, under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire, and includes the majestic semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens, and The Opera House. Visitors can still enjoy these spectacular buildings and gardens, as well as the complete programme of the Opera House and annual music and arts events.

The house is very well equipped and the kitchen/dinning area is beautiful. Tasteful decor and spacious rooms. We stayed for a week ((6 adults and 6 children) and had a great time. Two additions would really add significant value to the property: a washer/dryer, and another or bigger fridge.

Beautifully decorated and the kitchen has plenty of crockery for a large group. Bedrooms are vey spacious and bathrooms a plenty. As a group of maturer women who run their own homes a few things for us could be improved. The bedrooms are huge, why wouldnât you have a bedside table both sides of the bed and bedside lights to accompany them? In one of the bedrooms (twin) there was only a standard lamp the other side of the room, with no bedside tables. Ok it could have been moved but thatâs not the point the bedrooms are beautiful but could be improved. No teapot in the kitchen, we were a group of 9 and were staying 3 nights although we like a nice glass of wine also we drink lots of tea and this would have been nice. The lounge could take another chair as only seated 6 adults, with the house enabling 12 this could be a disappointment to some. Another key for the property as a large house. Itâs great to have a key safe but with the English weather and groups that have little children a second key for quick access into the property would be a positive. The water is very hot and I imagine the boiler temperature is set higher than necessary to meet guidelines (this is for saving the owners money) The house was lovely and warm and this was welcomed. The broom in the cupboard under the stairs was broken so couldnât sweep. All in all the house was amazing and I would live in a house like that. Thank you

The house is warm and comfortable (and stylish) with lots of bathrooms, we parked 3 cars on site and a fourth on a nearby side street and walked to everywhere in Buxton. Just a suggestion, but a bigger fridge or extra fridge would have been useful, and if we had stayed longer, a washing machine for all the kids stuff. We hope to return next year too! 8 adults and 4 kids under 8.
