Wye Head Cottage

Wye Head Cottage is a beautifully appointed, cosy cottage in the heart of Buxton and an ideal base from which to explore the Peak District National Park. The cottage perfectly mixes the characterful features with contemporary styling and modern fixtures and fittings in order to create a fabulous home from home.



The cottage sleeps four people in two double bedrooms and there is ample off-road parking for two cars.



Walking in through the handy porch area, guests are greeting by the incredibly inviting, large living room to one side and the dining and kitchen area to the other. The large fireplaces, exposed brick walls and exposed beams help provide a sense of splendour. The log burning stoves are the perfect way to keep warm in the cooler Autumn and Winter months, while in the summer the patio doors off the dining room can be opened wide and guests can enjoy the private, landscaped garden.



The kitchen is well stocked with all the appliances one would require to cook up a feast and even has an integrated wine cooler to keep the bubbly the perfect temperature.



Up the wooden staircase are the two bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, exposed beams and garden views. The family bathroom has a separate walk in shower and free-standing bath so guests can enjoy a long soak to unwind while on holiday.



Wye Head Cottage is located in the old market and spa town of Buxton which is surrounded by the Derbyshire hills at a height of over 1000ft, making it the highest town in England. There is plenty of local attractions and things to do, making Buxton a great place to spend a some time away. The cottage is only a six minute pleasant walk into town, through the park and all on the flat.





With its stunning ornamental gardens and world-famous Georgian and Victorian architecture, it provides an impressive backdrop to a rich and vibrant range of music, theatre and festivals which occur regularly throughout the year. Guests can also enjoy wealth of independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, natural wonders such as Poole’s Cavern, relaxing spas, attractions such as Buxton Opera House, Go Ape, Buxton Raceway and two golf courses. There really is something to suit everyone.



The Peak District National Park is one of the finest parts of the UK and popular with tourists and adventure-seekers all the year round. Whether you’re looking for walking routes, seeking adrenaline thrills or want to find a cosy pub serving local ales, the pretty villages, vast hills and pristine lakes offer so many opportunities for memorable days out.



Please note that charging of an electric vehicle is not permitted at this property.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle.

Good place to stay in Buxton

Nice comfy warm house with an enclosed garden and a drive to park in. Well located, on a moderately busy road. Well equipped, we enjoyed it. Not much, an nespresso machine would be nice.

A great stay in a lovely cottage.

Easy access to some picturesque walks and sites. A beautiful cottage to come home to and sit by the log burner in the lounge. Comfy beds, and great to have a bath that was big enough to lay down in.

Pets allowed would be a fairer summary rather than pet friendly, while pre holiday correspondence was accurate and timely, as a professionally managed let a little short and missing some of the personal touch of an independent let.

Lovely cottage in a great location

We stayed at Wye Head Cottage for a long weekend in March. The cottage is lovely, plenty of space for 4 adults and two doggies. There is a great enclosed garden for the dogs and walks right on your doorstep. A 15 minute walk into Buxton for all amenities was great. Added bonus was the off road parking for 2 cars. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Excellent cottage in a great location to Buxton

The cottage is lovely with excellent facilities and in a very good location to access Buxton and the pubs etc within. Takes around 5-10 mins to walk into the town. We were delighted to find plenty of fire wood for the log burner and the house is lovely and warm even in the freezing weather we had over new year.

Great little cottage in a good location in the lovely town of Buxton

We’ll equipped, comfortable furnishings, nice garden & well placed in the Peak District We arrived during an unusually cold spell in June and needed the heating on to take the chill off the place but it was hard to find the instructions and being a weekend emergency only calls were acceptable.

Wye Head Cottage

We had a most enjoyable stay at this will furnished and extremely clean cottage. The accommodation was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with all the utensils and appliances you require. The cottage is well positioned for easy walking access into the centre of Buxton or onto the adjacent hills. We would highly recommend this property for a short or long term stay and would certainly consider coming back in the future.

Fabulous cottage

Comfy cottage with lovely garden and outside seating areas to maximise the sun. Well decorated with homely touches. Nice to have Netflix. Beds comfy. Well equipped for cooking. Washing machine and dishwasher a bonus. Welcoming touches like milk, coffee, tea etc left. Great walks on the doorstep for dogs.

Gem of a place

Location was good for a short walk into town. Warm cosy cottage with welcome ‘bits’ including festive feel. Really relaxing stay. Really liked Dandelion Coffee, Khomkhai Thai restaurant and The Frog bar. A few extra bits in the kitchen would be useful, including oven trays and roasting tin, salad bowl and servers and a bread knife. Hooks for coats near the door would be handy too. Overall really happy and only mentioning these things as tiny improvements to a splendid cottage.

Great location and perfect with the dog

Very dog friendly property. Fantastic location being able to walk into Buxton with lots to do. Ideal location for walking in the Peaks. More normal sized mugs for tea would be useful. Some bin bags available would have been good as previous people hadn’t used them so I had to clean the inside of the bin out as it was really smelly and horrid. Shame the doors upstairs are really noisy but understand that can’t be helped.

First Visit To Buxton

The cottage it’s self was great, loved the private garden, it was homely and welcoming and the pack of galaxy cakes went down a treat, small milk in the fridge and tea and coffee was also appreciated, plenty of clean towels plenty of hot water and heating, we enjoyed our stay. A bread bin would be good to be able to put cakes and bread in rather than leaving them on the worktops, no dishcloths, and no bin liners, although when I asked I was offered a reimbursement upon purchasing said items, which was appreciated, the general cleaning was ok, did see a few cobwebs, the shower tray was looking a bit tired especially in the corners where the grime was collecting, but overall we enjoyed our stay

Beautiful, bracing Buxton

Lovely cottage, very handy for all we were able & planned to do. The weather was extremely icy and wintery so some salt on the drive would have been helpful but not a major problem. The living area and kitchen was perfect for our weekend and very warm and cosy. I would've reduced the amount of time the CH was on but couldn't/didn't have time to change the programme. Felt very indulgent given the cost of heating but very grateful. Bedrooms perfectly comfortable and pleasant. The bathroom is very well appointed and easy to use. We didn't have time to enjoy the fabulous bath. The shower looked like it might not drain properly as I could see water on the top of the drain but worked fine. Overall a comfortable and well designed home from home with lovely character and charm. Thank you.
