Chapel Retreat is part of a large, stunning converted chapel, set in the heart of Buxton, offering light open spaces, with gorgeous high ceilings. There are various shops and pubs within 0.5 miles. Visit the famous Opera House, Buxton Museum, or the Pavilion Gardens. Take a spa treatment at the famous, Grade I-listed Crescent Hotel or fill your bottle with natural spring water from St Ann’s Well, constantly flowing at 28°C – all within half a mile of the property. Take a walk up to the famous Kinder Scout or enjoy the beautiful Ladybower Reservoir (17 miles) or the picturesque Goyt Valley (3 miles). Go Ape and the famous Poole’s Cavern sits just over half a mile away, with the country park also leading off from the same area, you can walk to Solomon’s Temple, take on the ropes and high wires of Go Ape, or explore the underground offering of Poole’s Cavern all in the same location.

Walking into the hallway, you are met with impressive large windows, a cloakroom with WC and area to hang coats and take off shoes. There is a lovely little snug, perfect for some peaceful reading time or why not set it up as a games room for the children to play. The living room is a beautiful open space, with large arch windows, lovely colour tones and plenty of soft seating for everyone to gather in and relax in the evenings. The dining space offers comfortable seating, just snuggled round the corner to offer an intimate dining experience for all. The kitchen is set just off the living room, there is lots of storage and plenty of space to rustle up meals or spend time baking or making your morning breakfast. Upstairs there are four well-appointed bedrooms, with lovely colour accents and versatile sleeping arrangements. From the king size bedroom that has the en-suite, to the bunk bedroom perfect for the children. There is a large family bathroom where you can enjoy either a bath or shower.

Outside there is a garden space to enjoy and relax in, but one of the best things about this property is how close it is to all the best that Buxton has to offer. From the wonderful green spaces and walks on your doorstep, to the fabulous shops, cafes, and places to eat.

  • 4 bedrooms - 1 king-size, 1 double, 1 bunk bed room with 3 beds and 1 with single day bed; additional pull-out single can be requested to create a twin room. (The pull-out can be raised up to the same height as the single, but they will be made up with single duvets.)

Lovely house. We've stayed here twice now and enjoyed it very much. This time, the weather was extremely cold with lots of snow, but the house was lovely and warm. I really like the valves on the radiators upstairs so that we could boost the heating-great idea.

The converted church has been undertaken very sympathetically with a great use of space. A well equipped property that was very comfortable and ideally located for a short walk into Buxton.

Chapel Retreat was a tastefully decorated and spacious house, which was perfect for our extended family break. There was plenty of space downstairs, including a little snug area for the kids. There was a large dining table that sat everyone, and a comfy sofa area. Upstairs the bedrooms were decent, 2 a little on the small side, but the triple deckeRead morer bunk was hilarious and such fun for the kids, and the day bed and under bed worked really well and was easy to get out and stash away. The other 2 were good size, and both the bathroom and en-suite were both lovely. The location near the Pavillion Gardens in Buxton was fantastic, it was moments away from a Sainsburys and easy to find and easy to get parking on the street. Hide

Excellent, spacious accommodation, within easy reach of all Buxton has to offer (10 minutes walk to the main shops). Nice & warm, plenty of good quality towels/linen/loo roll etc. The snug was perfect for my son to play on his computer, or watch TV by himself without disturbing others. Good shower in en-suite, nice, deep bath. Several games & puzzlRead morees. Proper smart TVs. Reliable WiFi. Dedicated parking space. Recommend the Pig & Pepper bakery round the corner - and Scriveners Book shop, of course! Hide

Just missing some basics like salt, oil and pepper. Potentially some soap dispensers in the bathroom would also be appreciated. Bar that all good!
