Spring View Apartment

As a spacious apartment above a former bank, the location is prime - no more than 100m to the main shopping street, and about 250m away from the Crescent, Glasshouse and parkland. The affordable long-stay "Slopes" car park is about 300m away with ticket hours 8am-6pm. The property owners were friendly, responsive and helpful which impresses us. The apartment, with central heating and some double glazing, includes a practical kitchenette and large bathroom fitted with a good shower and tub.

Although comfortable enough, it feels right now like an ongoing project to convert these former offices into a luxurious apartment for the catchment area (and this includes some very grand hotels to compete with). So at the moment, it has a lot of transformative character which some visitors may not tolerate. The property owners told us there is free parking on site, but in all honesty, it would take some faith to use it - it's not clearly marked as an official bay which begs for traffic warden attention, and is located right in the path of late night revellers and delivery trucks in the morning. The lounge and dining areas face out onto the busy main road with a pedestrian crossing active for much of the day. As such, it can be a noisy location in an otherwise sleepy Buxton.

Amazing location and views, parking is right outsidw the door, stefania and jon are so welcoming and gave us loads of tips on where to visit

Nothing

Location, space, character

Sound insulation was poor, traffic noise and noise from flat above

Fantastic price, great location and apartment was full of quirks and character

Hot water was hit and miss and some banging pipes

Fantastic apartment, great hosts central location. Beautifully decorated, felt like we'd stepped back in time. Hosts were brilliant, even came to collect us when we got lost due to transport difficulties. Couldn't recommend highly enough would definitely return
