A former agricultural building transformed into a contemporary holiday home, The Old Manse retains the character of its 19th-century origins while offering the comforts of modern self-catering. The two bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms, with one featuring beds that can be joined or kept separate depending on your group. Electricity, bed linen and towels are all provided, and the property is yours alone for the duration of your stay.

The open-plan living and kitchen area gives plenty of room to spread out, with views across the Derbyshire countryside visible from the outdoor space. An outdoor hot tub overlooks the surrounding landscape, and there is room for alfresco dining. Inside, heated floors run through the bathrooms, and the bedrooms are appointed with attention to comfort and detail. Families will find children's cutlery available, and the kitchen is equipped for self-catering.

Buxton Football Club is the nearby landmark, with the coast within a mile of the property. The setting suits groups and families seeking a quieter base away from town centres. No smoking is permitted indoors.

A superb guest house just a few minutes walk up the hill from Buxton centre. A very warm welcome, well thought-out room with just the right furniture and ensuite shower. And the breakfast ... well, what more could you want!! The attention to detail at every turn was excellent.

What a wonderful experience at this guest house. The freshest fruit at breakfast, huge blackberries that had so much flavour, and a delightful plant based yoghurt, too. The vegan cooked breakfast was perfect, hot and not dripping in oil like some I've had in the past elsewhere. They went out of their way to cater for our needs, including providing vegan chocolate and snacks, and it really was much appreciated. We arrived during a serious heatwave, so the fan was an essential item that we found tucked away in a cupboard, thankfully, as we were in a top room and it was fairly hot to say the least! But it was just one of those unexpected things in life. The only one thing I would have changed is the brown sauce (as I am sad to say, I am somewhat of a brown sauce fanatic) as I found it to be quite an unusual taste and colour for my liking.... but I am fairly strange and I just love a good brown sauce. Thank you so much for having us!

Lovely BnB run by Samantha and Stephanie, who were very welcoming and friendly, and provided top-notch service and environment to the guests. Breakfast was particularly good, serving buffet-style bar (yogurt, fruits, muesli/granola, juice, and toast) as well as different types of meals (full English, avocado on toast, scrambled eggs, etc) There’s a little pantry with snacks, water and milk as well. Around 10mins walk to Buxton train station. Highly recommended!

An absolutely lovley B& B.. Wonderful hosts. A warm welcome on arrival. Free street parking. Our room was on the top floor at the rear. Nicely quiet. Very comfortable room. Bed comfortable & the bathroom towels are soft & fluffy. The pantry for fresh milks & snacks etc is a great addition to your stay. No extra charge but we were more than happy to put into a honesty box. Breakfast was superb. Served with a nice chat and smile. Yummy food. Will happily stay here again on visiting Buxton. 10 minutes walk into Buxton centre. Perfect for a Oprea House visit. Thank you to the hosts for a lovely overnight stay.
