Staff member Anne was delightful , friendly and helpful . Very good ambassador for Compton house . Room was good , beds just a bit too high for getting in and out . ( for us smaller people ) bathroom shower was not draining away so could not have shower on second morning ! Not good !!! Tried to pull the core out to clean it but it was stuck in the plug hole !! Just a note - mirrors in room and bathroom are all too high . Good all round property and room with a good standard of decor . As I say Anne was the only person we saw and she was lovely to chat to about the area and where to go and see . Lovely lady .

Had a lovely 2 night stay at Compton guesthouse. Clean and comfortable very large room with ensuite bathroom (including a bathtub) lovely victorian building. Didnt see any staff during our stay but this was not an issue as given check in instructions via text message. Short walk to centre with numerous bars and restraunts. Will definitely stay again.

Room was adequate but not as good as photos. Dark room, no light over tea/coffee area and needs updating throughout. However for the money what more could we expect?

Well presented within walking distance of town centre, pub's and restaurants. Anne/Dave 😆(building manager) was lovely, she worked hard to keep the place so clean and nothing was a problem if you asked 😉 stairs were challenging to the top floor but we managed and wi-fi was a bit sketchy (none at all in our room) hopefully it will be sorted by the owner. All in all a lovely place to stay ♥️

There is NO reception of any kind. You enter the building by keying in a number, previously sent to you by email, on a pad, and when you get in you find yourself in a tiny, silent lobby, with closed doors and the beginning of a flight of stairs. Apparently you are expected to know your own room number - well, if this was mentioned on the email confirmation of a reservation which I had made weeks earlier, it didn't register at the time, and the information wasn't given in the emails received a few days before I arrived. There were two phone numbers given for queries: BOTH, when I tried them, gave me recorded no-one-here-to-take-your-call messages. There was nothing for me to do but keep trying, and eventually I got a response, and was informed which room was mine. The room was clean and comfortable, certainly, but that is the bare minimum one expects. Plenty tea bags, Nescafe sachets and milk provided in the room, but no biscuits. That is ALL. I've given one star for "service", but it wasn't a case of terrible service - it was a case of NO service. Sorry, but I won't be going back to Compton Guest House.

An excellent stay overall. My only issues were the height of the bed and bathroom mirror. I know I'm not talking (5' 8"), but getting off the bed was uncomfortable for someone of my height, with the bedframe digging into my legs. As for the mirror, if I was any shorter, I wouldn't be able to see myself to get shaved!

I rented a room here for a family of three, and it was convenient to where we were going and places to eat. It's in a lovely neighborhood. Overall, it was affordable and clean. Communication with the manager is quick and convenient, mostly through email. There's an onsite caretaker that we saw in the mornings. I highly recommend it for an affordable stay.

Comfortable room in easy walking distance from Buxton town centre and Buxton country park. A few pubs within minutes. Simple to check-in, although we were expecting to check in at 12 and were sent away for an hour (not a problem for us!) Easy enough to find roadside parking. Tea & coffee facilities and shower gel/shampoo a welcome touch. Mysteriously awoken by a fire alarm on our final morning which was quickly shut off… but otherwise very quiet making for a peaceful stay.

Good price, good location, close local amenities

Great value for money. From a personal point of view it was far too warm, heating on constantly (must cost a fortune) had to sleep with my window open all night but the bird song that woke me was stunning. For what i needed for 1 night it was fine.
