This beautiful victorian property is a gem. We were very comfortable in our 4 poster room. The breakfast is amazing - a wide selection of delicious vegetarian dishes of amazingly generous proportions. Wol is a charming host. Thank you.

The room was nicely decorated and the landlord was friendly. Breakfast was excellent and served in large portions. Access to town amenities was good too. The only downside was the lack of a lift which means we had to carry to large briefcases up three floors

Volodymyr and his wife made us feel very welcome, like old friends. Breakfast was wonderful. The entire place was spotless. The ambience is almost 'Dowtonesque' without any of the pretentiousness or snobbery. They even have a beautiful Blüthner grand piano in the sitting room. This was our first time staying here but it won't be our last.

Really enjoyed our stay at Buxton staying at Kingscroft hotel , only complaint was the fact that they didn’t refresh our room during our three nights there , in which time we ran out of tea , biscuits , and toilet roll , have always been used to that being done , other than that it was lovely , we did get fresh stocks when we asked for them !

The house had a welcoming feel, breakfast was delicious (small bowl of fruit was very generous - no idea what size the large one would be!). And in the lounge there's a beautiful Blüthner grand piano, which for me was the icing on the cake. Or even the cake itself...

We enjoyed or stay here. The host, Volodimir, was very welcoming (as were the family members I met). The room was spotless, and the furnishings and decor in keeping with the period of the house, with some quirky little twists. Very reminiscent of New England B&Bs. Breakfast (despite being meatless) was amazing with generous helpings. My only slightly negative observation is that the en suite was very compact. It being squeezed into a traditional room. This is always a problem with older properties and is perfectly adequate except to those of very generous proportions. This shouldn't deter anyone from staying at this excellent property, hence my 5 stars
