Great for family get-togethers The house is enormous and easily caters for 3 or 4 families. Living room in particular is huge and dining room big enough to accommodate us all. Exceedingly well equipped kitchen, The bedrooms are all fantastic in terms of size and comfort, 4 bathrooms. Great fun in games room. Good location. Lots of parking. Nature reserve nearby good for dog-walks. Close to town centre.

Wellwood lodge welcomes you to an impressive and beautifully appointed house of very generous proportions
Dogs may come for £30 each per stay, a stunning nature reserve awaits just a 10 minutes walk, or if preferred the ancient woodland that leads up to Corbar Cross 5 minutes along the road.
Delighted to be awarded a certificate of excellence by Trip Advisor Wellwood Lodge is on the edge of glorious countryside yet just ten minutes walk to the bars, shops and stunning architecture and parks of Buxton!

Considerable recent updating gives visitors a superior self-catering experience in the beautiful spa town of Buxton and the stunning Peak District. A bespoke handcrafted oak staircase rises through the heart of the house to the six spacious bedrooms one of which is a stunning 4 poster room with en suite. There are 4 bath / shower rooms in total.
A huge (31 ft) 9.5 metres lounge offers a wonderful space for entertaining. Wi-fi is accessible throughout the property.
The fully-fitted and exceptionally well equipped kitchen leads to a Victorian-style conservatory and a dining room with an 8 foot square table that seats 12 to 14.
In the basement is a small games room with table football and pool table loved by all ages!
It is the perfect house and location for family and friends gatherings.
The house is on a hillside with a front and enclosed rear garden with a small lawn. For a small fee we allow owners to bring their well behaved dogs to enjoy their holiday too.
Plenty of space for walks less than 5 minutes away

Buxton's beauty is a popular choice for weddings, the house is in walking distance of the Palace Hotel, Old Hall Hotel, Crescent Hotel, Devonshire Dome and Pavilion Gardens, all popular reception venues. We have had brides leave from our door for their big day, families delighted to have a venue where they can relax informally together without the constraints of a hotel.
As a resident since childhood I am an enthusiast of my beautiful town, the specialist shops within the Cavendish arcade the former spa bathing area, the extensive choice of places to sample the local gastronomic delights, the wonderful Opera house and the stunning Pooles cavern which is rated as England's finest show cavern are just a few of the highlights. The beautifully kept 23 acre Pavilion gardens is a wonderful place for all ages to enjoy a fun filled time.

    We had a weekend break at Wellwood Lodge to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. We comprised of 3 families totalling 13 people with the youngest being 8 years old and the oldest 55. Without a shadow of doubt all of us agreed its been one of the nicest places we've stayed. We were welcomed with freshly baked bread and Susan, the owner, popped round to say hello and give us a few tips. The kids loved the games room. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked and the bedrooms very comfortable. We thought the square dinning table was great, encouraging us all to converse. The living room was large but cosy with plenty of seating for all of us. It was warm even though it was a very cold weekend and my son ruefully commented that it was warmer than our own home on our return! All in all, a wonderful way to celebrate my wife's 50th.

    Spacious house, well equipped with all modern appliances. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean with comfortable beds. Lounge and dining rooms ideal for large gatherings and the games room an added bonus. Ideal for family reunions. Would recommend this property.

    This is an excellent property. The house is outstanding and complemented by an excellent location in easy walking distance of Buxton Town Centre. This was a special holiday for us celebrating, a golden wedding and a 70th birthday during the year. A rare chance to get most of the family together to mark this special year spanning three generations from 74yrs to 5 months it was perfect. Thank you Susan.

    Great property well modernised and highly functional for purpose There were 8 of us do plenty of room and we all had a great time. It is a bit of a hike into the centre, but although that was a bit of a real problem for any if us, but but could be an issue if you have limited mibility

    What a lovely property - it did exactly what it said on the tin! There was loads of room for everyone to be together or doing different things - the games room and conservatory were particular favourites. The house was spotless and extremely well equipped - the kitchen had absolutely everything that we needed. The host was really friendly and helpful and on hand if we had any problems. It was definitely the right place for a multi age multi family break - thank you.

    The property was very spacious with plenty of room down and upstairs. The location was ideal for exploring the surrounding area. The garden area was nice. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that was needed and the dining room was large enough to seat us all together, which was great.

    We stayed in the house for a week with 6 kids aged 10 months to 12 years. The house itself was amazing with loads of space and activities for the whole family. The house is situated in a perfect location, close enough to walk into the town centre to take advantage of local parks, shops and bars/restaurants as well as being in the heart of the Peak District. For large families looking for a great place to get away together, I would strongly recommend this house.
