Sympathetically restored, this Grade II-listed former post office has been converted into a delightful first-floor getaway that’s perfect for couples and small families looking to uncover Buxton’s rich heritage and Derbyshire’s breathtaking countryside.

At the heart of this home-from-home, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner boasts a cosy ambience that beckons tried travellers to unwind and dine with loved ones long into the evening. The beautifully high ceiling creates a welcome sense of space, with the contemporary decor adding a true air of sophistication. A good night’s sleep is guaranteed in both of the two king-size bedrooms, one of which boasts an en-suite shower room, the other an en-suite bathroom. All bedrooms and bathrooms offer underfloor heating for chilly days. Find pure peace outside by dining alfresco in the shared courtyard amongst your calming, countryside scenery; fire up the BBQ to roast marshmallows as you stargaze way past bedtime. Guests will also find private parking for one car, as well as extra parking at an additional charge close to the apartment.

A wonderful , comfortable apartment, right in the middle of Buxton. Historic Walking trails, cafes, restaurants all on the doorstep. Such a shame we didnt get to enjoy a G n T in the gardens, a mainly wet week. !! But very enjoyable nonetheless.. Thank you Max and Mike.
