Kingscroft

Our stay in Kingscroft was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The interior of the house is highly decorated and stylish. The majordomo - the man of the house - took great care in explaining everything and taking care of us and other guest during our stay making us feel welcomed. The room we stayed in was nice and spacious. Breakfast offers a wide variety and generous portions. In the evening you enter your selection for the next day. You can select from variety of cereals, fruits, yoghurt, there is an english breakfast with beans option, avocado toast, various types of croissants, teas, smoothies, crumble... They offer a good number of vegetarian and vegan options and these are not an afterthough. Their modest library cointains books on local hikes that we took advantage of. Location of the the accomodation is also pretty good. On a map, it might look far from the Buxton center or from the train station but that appears like that only on the map. Buxton is a small town and it's about 15 minutes from the train station and maybe 7 minutes to the main square where buses leave from. It's also a short walk from the Solomon's temple up on one of the hills overlooking Buxton.

It was great. We arrived early and were warmly welcomed by the owner. We were all wet from the raining day hike and so were grateful when the owner told us that the room was ready and we could check in early. The property was spotless clean, the room was cozy and the beds were very comfy. The owners were so welcoming and friendly and they provided the best service for their guests. They truly made us feel like home. We spent the evening in their living room playing chess and the piano. We enjoyed some pleasant conversations with the owners. It is definitely one of the best stays for us. Oh and their breakfast was amazing!

We were visiting Buxton in order to attend a show at the Opera House and booked to stay for one night at Kingscroft. We found the property was meticulously clean and very homely. The hosts were very personable and more than happy to help with advice about the area. The breakfast was pre-ordered from a comprehensive menu and the food was absolutely delicious and served in very generous portions. The warm summer fruits crumble with yogurt was unexpected but beyond delicious. My wife and I have already decided that we will return to Kingscroft the next time we return to the area.

The four of us were welcomed by Vol and given a very informative introduction to staying at Kingscroft. Three of us are vegetarian / vegan so had chosen Kingscroft because of its non-meat breakfast, and the menu was interesting, varied and delicious , all pre-ordered so everyone's choices were fulfilled. The rooms were decorated elaborately, fitting with the Victorian character of the house, our beds were extremely comfortable. The location was excellent, on a quiet street out of the centre of Buxton but only a 10-15 minute walk away.

Beautiful house in a fantastic location. A very warm and friendly welcome from Wol( Woldymyr) who we saw every time we left/ arrived back at the house and for breakfast each morning. Very spacious well equipped room and extremely comfy four-poster bed. Liked the addition of complimentary fruit and numerous bottles of still/sparkling water. Breakfast is AWESOME! All vegetarian with vegan options. And what options!! Freshly cooked to perfection Portions are huge- Wol does warn you at check-in- ignore him at your peril. We both dialled back the options on day 2 breakfast. Will definitely be returning!!
