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.

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.

Buxton Holiday
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.

70th birthday celebrations
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.

Amazing House - Great Location!!
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.

Wonderful cosy country stay
I visited with a group of girlfriends for my sisters birthday. We had everything we needed for cooking big meals and staying so warm and cosy during our winter stay! We found a path up into the Peaks right behind the house and it’s a short walk into town for visiting the cute pubs! Susan was very responsive and helpful throughout!

Buxton family weekend
Well equipped house within walking distance (steep walk back) of Buxton. Garden was a bit smaller than anticpated and garden furniture could do with a lick of paint.. House was well equipped especially the kitchen, could do with another bathroom but that can't be helped! All in all we had a great time! Some rather strict rules and were surprised to have to strip all beds and empty bedroom bins on checking out as we would have thought that was the cleaner's job but it did not affect our enjoyment of catching up with family.

Perfect spot for a large group!
We had a fantastic time in Buxton at Susan’s place. We used all of the bedrooms, which are comfortable and spacious, the living areas and kitchen are huge, so we had lots of space to hang out and socialise. Having three/four bathrooms also helped! The kitchen is extremely well equipped for a group visit too. Buxton is a gorgeous town and only a ten minute walk away, as is the train station. I’d highly recommend Susan’s place to anyone wanting to organise a gathering for friends and/or family!

10 of our family stayed at the property, ranging from ages 16 to 80. It was a great place to base ourselves to catch up and explore a beautiful part of the country. Buxton itself is lovely and the centre is only a 10 minute walk away if you take the short cut through the cul de sac. The house was well equipped and presented. The welcome basket was much appreciated. We had a fantastic stay despite the appalling weather.

A perfect setting for a large family gathering
Our family of 14 gathered for an 80th birthday celebration at Wellwood Lodge. The property was perfect for all our needs with ages ranging from 13 to 83. Wellwood Lodge is a great location for both walking into Buxton and walking into the peaks. Less than 30min drive to Chatsworth House. We also walked to Solomon's Temple with 360 degree views across Buxton. All rooms are spacious, comfortable and the kitchen and dining room are extremely well stocked enabling home-from-home cooking and dining. Games room was great fun and the conservatory and garage terrace was nice for breakfast. All in all a very relaxing stay at Wellwood Lodge for everyone. Thank-you Susan for your hospitality. We will certainly recommend Wellwood Lodge for friends planning on visiting the Peak District.
