Wellwood Lodge, self catering luxury for
12.

Wellwood Lodge is a lovely large Victorian house in the historic spa town of Buxton
in Derbyshire. This spacious house is ideally situated for experiencing the varied landscape of the Peak District National
Park, where rugged moors and pretty dales offer an abundance of activities from walking, cycling, climbing, caving and fishing.
If you're after a cultural break, the house is convenient to the town's famous sights - Buxton boasts lovely
parks and gardens, a wonderful theatre, a stunning opera house, shopping arcades and ancient buildings, pubs and restaurants.
The house is only a mile from Buxton Country Park, where the high wire theme park Go Ape provides pulse-raising fun - http://www.goape.co.uk/days-out-in/derbyshire/buxton and where the underworld of Poole's Cavern display a stunning show of stalactites and crystal formations
- http://www.poolescavern.co.uk Stay at Wellwood Lodge and you will be able to explore beautiful countryside
by walking from your door - a scenic reservoir and woodland are just around the corner, while for a longer hike, you can access
heather moorland by traversing the many picturesque footpaths. The bustling market towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne are a short,
scenic drive away as are many National Trust properties. Chatsworth, the seat of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire,
and Haddon Hall, a fine example of Elizabethan architecture, are amongst England's finest non affiliated properties.
Buxton is home to a selection of festivals including a Jazz festival in February and the Opera season during July
and August. The town is vibrant with contemporary culture, while retaining a grace and serenity from a bygone era. If you
are looking for activity and culture on your holiday, this fantastic house in the Peak District is a great choice, at any
time of the year. Trains and buses depart from the town to all the many and
varied attractions of the Peak district making Wellwood lodge the ideal holiday location even if you dont arrive by car, and
if you do you can let the train take the strain!
Wellwood lodge is a handsome detached family home over
3 floors, situated in an attractive residential area of Buxton. Outside is a lovely terraced style garden with raised
patio on the roof of the garage - a lovely spot that catches the morning sun and where there is a fantastic view of the
Dome and Georgian Crescent, Grin Low, and, in the distance, views of Solomon's Temple Folly. This pet-friendly house
is a wonderful place to stay for a large family celebration or reunion, or a group of friends on a holiday full of activity
and culture. The house is an ideal base to explore the delights of the Peak District throughout the year. We offer a ‘home
from home’ experience for guests to come to escape, relax and unwind.

VISITORS
COMMENTS. Spent a great weekend with friends at Wellwood Lodge. The Lodge is
excellent in every way. The bedrooms are comfortable and airy; the lounge and dining room are large and comfortable and the
kitchen is very well equipped. I don't think the accommodation could really be improved on Thanks for a great weekend.
