Fantastic weekend stay. Apartment was brilliant, clean, well equipment and spacious. The hot tub was amazing. We couldn't find a hair dryer and Howard and his family was really helpful and managed to find out for us. Great location near to the shops, bars and restaurants. Had a lovely walk, park is just up the road. Will definitely be back, we loved it. Thank you x

A family of 6, 2 adults, 2 children, 2 teens We wanted to be in a location where the teens could go off and do their teen things and yet somewhere we could get out and walk, have a relaxing time and not hear noisy children. Well the rooftop ticked all those boxes and more. The apartment boasts a very well equipped kitchen, the only thing missing was a Yorkshire pudding tin , even the knives are a a reasonable quality (yes cooking is important to us!!). There were even enough glasses to accommodate the fact that my children think glasses are single use!! The bedrooms are all good sizes with comfortable mattresses, and two with en suites gave the teenagers privacy. The second floor bedroom has it's own private lounge, should you choose to use it that way, and access to the hot tub. No skimping here, always heated and a delight to sit in of an evening. Overall the apartment is decorated to a high standard and was clean. The only thing that slightly concerned us was the 9am checkout time, with two teens, however the owner was incredibly accommodating and agreed we could leave at 10. This made all the difference to us, well, the teens, so thank you so much Howard. We will absolutely return, we love the area, have family near by and will be up for house hunting soon! Thank you for a delightful holiday.

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and have just returned from a fantastic week at The Rooftop. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The decor and furnishings are to a high standard. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals if you want to. Everything was spotlessly clean (and I am fussy!). The icing on the cake is the roof garden and hot tub. After a busy day exploring Derbyshire it was lovely to relax in the hot tub. The apartment is centrally located in Buxton and is within walking distance of all shops, cafes and amenities. My son used the Swimming and Fitness Centre during our stay, it was 5 mins walk through the park. Highlights of the places we visited/activities were the Heights of Abraham at Matlock Bath. The Aqua Park at Rother Valley and cycling at the Monsal Trail. The owners have though of every last detail to make The Rooftop a great place to say and we would highly recommend it.

What a beautiful place. Spacious and luxurious. They have thought of everything. We went as a party of seven and had loads of space. The roof is amazing and the hot tub is a bonus. Excellent location. Would definitely go again.

Hen party of 7! The accommodation was beautiful, sparkling clean, modern and comfortable. Very spacious with two floors so although there was 8 of us it never felt like we were under each others feet. It has everything you need! Walking distance to the centre of town, close to the park, shops, pubs and cafes. The owners are fab and couldn't be more accommodating. We all enjoyed our stay so much and would definitely stay there again.

This apartment spanning two floors is a beautiful getaway to relax. A party of 8 and plenty of rooms and very comfy sofas and beds. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Right in the heart of Buxton walking distance to many cafes bars and shops. Would definitely recommend. We will be back.

We've just returned from my daughter's hen weekend. The accommodation over two floors was first class, very spacious, modern and clean. It is within walking distance of all amenities and is the perfect base for visiting the Peak District. There was one parking space but plenty more on street parking and long stay car parks at very reasonable prices. We would definitely stay there again.

The Rooftop is situated in the heart of Buxton and excellent for accessing the town itself and the wider Derbyshire Peaks. We are a family of five and spent a wonderful week here. The flat was clean, comfortable, spacious, with excellent facilities. The rooftop terrace has a dining table and hot-tub big enough for four which is a lovely touch of luxury. The owner lives just round the corner and was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The parking space available with the flat is a super bonus. Access to the flat is through several doors and up two flights of stairs, which may not suit everyone's access needs. I would happily recommend The Rooftop for a family needing a base to explore Derbyshire, or experience a touch of luxury accompanied by the convenience of living in a town centre. Traffic is busy and the streets are a bit noisy at night, but the flat feels 'above it all' and provides comfort and convenience.

A superb apartment in the heart of Buxton. Exceeded all expectations for a holiday rental - it has been refurbished to the highest of standards and is such a comfortable base for a holiday. The cleanliness was exceptional and the owners had thought of absolutely everything and clearly invested in quality furniture and products to ensure visitors have a fabulous and stress free holiday. Howard and his son were incredibly responsive to any queries and sorted them immediately without delay or fuss. Superb location also being walking distance to so many great restaurants and bars. All in all a fabulous week, thank you !

We have just returned from a fabulous week in Buxton staying at The Rooftop. Situated in the centre of town with the added bonus of a parking space it is perfect for groups or families to have a relaxing break away. There is so much space for everyone to get together and hang out, and equally enough room for everyone to get privacy if they need it. I love to cook and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can think of to cook up a storm and serve on the lovely dining table. The hot tub on the roof just tops it all off! If you decide to leave The Rooftop during your stay location wise Buxton is really well placed to visit many areas in the Peak District, or if you prefer you can visit one of the many pubs and restaurants all within walking distance. If I could give more stars I would!

The Rooftop is a jewel. Location is bang-on. It is situated in the centre of town, across the road from the impressive Pavilion Gardens. There are at least five restaurants within a three-minute stroll - chain Italian, independent Italian, Thai, Indian and bistro. A similar number of bars and cafes, as well. Not that you'll necessarily need those food and drink outlets - as the apartment is perfectly set up for those wishing to cook their own meals or enjoy drinks on its own roof terrace. No need to bring food and drink with you - Waitrose is just round the corner, five-minute walk or two-minute drive (large car park). And Aldi is on the opposite side of the road, which also has a car park. Quick summary, the apartment is split over two levels on the top two floors of a Grade 2-listed (I'm guessing, Georgian) property. It's been refurbished to a high standard, with everything you need for a week's stay. Four double bedrooms - three with double beds, one with twin singles. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms/shower rooms. There is a third shower room that serves the other two bedrooms. Large open plan kitchen-diner with living area on the lower floor. And another living area on the top floor, with huge comfy sofas and a large TV. And the piece-de-resistance ... for the kids, was a hot-tub on the roof terrace. Such a brilliant way to unwind for tired little legs after enjoying some of the sites of the Peak District. Back to location - Buxton is a great place to base yourself for a Peak District break. So many places of interest to visit less than a 30-minute drive away. The apartment comes with a parking space - in the narrow road to the side of the building. Not the easiest place to park, but it's good to know you have a guaranteed space. There is plenty of unrestricted street parking a five-minute walk away. I highly recommend this place - but if I was to try to pick one fault with it, I'd say it's not ideal for people with mobility difficulties, as there are around three flights of stairs to negotiate to access the apartment.

Fantastic modern accomodation set over two floors in a lovely old building. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two lounges and a lovely roof terrace with a hot tub & views over the town. Ideal central location which is great for shops (all within walking distance), some very good bars & eateries and is directly opposite the beautiful Pavillion Gardens. Great hosts who were really eager to please - I would most definitely recommend renting this property.
