Cosy Central Buxton Terraced House

A perfect spot from which to explore Buxton, Just a few minutes walk into the centre of town. The house was well-equipped and had everything we needed. It was clean and very comfortable. Communication from the host was excellent. I would definitely recommend it for a short stay.

Great house. Well equipped. Comfortable. Quiet neighbourhood. Central location. Easy to find.

Street Parking. Narrow streets.

Visited with 3 friends for a hiking trip. Mark’s accommodation had well sized rooms, good natural light, great location (walking distance from train station, bus stops, supermarkets and cafes) and was incredibly clean, not to mention having a very well equipped kitchen. All in all it was perfect for us!

The location is okay although there is very limited parking anywhere close. Be prepared to hunt for a parking space and it may be several streets away.

We opted for the 'Butches pack' as a welcome basket. They looked like part of a pack of supermarket sausage and bacon with a couple of eggs. These were not sealed or dated or nice looking. As we did not know who had handled the meat, where it was from, or indeed how old it was, we chose not to eat it. There is a local butchers just around the corned where we purchased our own bacon, sausage etc. Such a shame that the 'butchers pack' did not come from a local butcher. When we arrived, the fireplace did not work. We reported this to the host, and in fairness, someone came to the property to fix it. The concern came when the fix was done by jabbing a kitchen knife into the workings until the lighting mechanism worked. With no Co2 or smoke sensor in the room and the lack of any gas certificate, we chose to play safe and didn't use it. We were frustrated that the gas combi boiler has been installed in the lounge since the photos were taken. Having the boiler constantly clicking on and off while trying to relax was an unwelcome distraction. The property was lacking up to date smoke and Co2 sensors, there was no fire blanket or fire extinguisher. I thought these were compulsory for a rental? While the big TV was modern and had all platforms available, the trailing leads were a poor addition to the scene. This was the same in the bedroom, giving a feeling that the property had been rushed and poorly thought through. The property was described as 'refurbished' which I think is is a bit on an overstatement. The property has been updated but is far from a refurbishment. The kitchen had been altered but then roughly screwed back together which again made the finish look rushed. The bathroom had been updated but with no attention to the finish. The shower had good pressure but was not re-tiled. New shower valve but an old rust mirror. Again, updated, not refurbished.
