Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Both culture and nature are on your doorstep at Maggi and Gerard Heelan's 'excellent B&B guesthouse' just five minutes' walk from the Opera House in this splendid Peak District spa town. Overlooking the lake in Joseph Paxton's (of Crystal Palace fame) Pavilion Gardens, it is used by trusted readers as a base for the Buxton Festival. The bedrooms vary in size but are similar in style, with a feeling of solid, good, reliable quality: heavy floral drapes, patterned blue or red fitted hotel-style carpet, soft-hued decor, and traditional furniture. All have an en suite bathroom, except one single with separate private facilities. Dual-aspect Room 4, with its lovely lake views, is a great choice. A crimson-walled guest lounge overlooking the lake has comfy seating, exotic ornaments, shelves of travel books (Gerard and Maggi, former adventure tour guides, are a fount of local knowledge). An 'out-of-this-world' breakfast brings grapefruit segments, pear halves or prunes, croissants, porridge, cheeses, a full English or vegetarian, free-range eggs with smoked salmon. 'Exceeds your expectations in every way.' (S and PG, and others)
