Originally a Roman spa town, due to the constant 28°C of Buxton's eight thermal springs the town reached its peak in the 18th and 19th Centuries under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire. The Palladian grandeur of today's town was designed and built by this family, including the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens and The Opera House. Visitors continue to enjoy these buildings and gardens, as well as a full programme of events at the Opera House, in addition to the annual Festival of Music and Arts. Close by, walkers and cyclists can enjoy numerous trails and paths, which lead into the stunning scenery around the town.

Close to Buxton and larger shops. Lots of walks nearby. The recent modifications are top quality. WiFi works even if the mobile signal is patchy. Would recommend it.

We were able to put our bikes out of sight and under cover, which is important to us. We don't have a car, so the proximity of Cowdale to Buxton railway station and shops was useful, as was the hourly bus which runs to Bakewell and on to Sheffield. The bus stop is about 25 minutes' walk away. There are some good walks from the door, too. Andrew and Lucy, who live in the farmhouse, were very helpful and friendly. Pity the weather wasn't good enough to sit at the outside table, but it was March, after all! We'd love to come back and explore the area further.
