Really enjoyed our stay at Buxton staying at Kingscroft hotel , only complaint was the fact that they didn’t refresh our room during our three nights there , in which time we ran out of tea , biscuits , and toilet roll , have always been used to that being done , other than that it was lovely , we did get fresh stocks when we asked for them !

Definitely the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Vegetarian menu (which I’m not used to) but the choice was immense and the food quality was second to none.

It is very rare to stay somewhere where you can't think of anything that could have been better. This B & B is one of those rare places. It is perfect from the decor, the cleanliness, the truly amazing breakfast to the small touches. Will definitely stay again.

Our stay was lovely in this beautiful Victorian house which has been furnished and decorated to suit the property. It was spotlessly clean and the dinning room had fresh flowers on the tables which we liked. The breakfast was amazing with very generous potions from a wide variety for vegetarian options. The owners are extremely pleasant and will definitely return

We enjoyed or stay here. The host, Volodimir, was very welcoming (as were the family members I met). The room was spotless, and the furnishings and decor in keeping with the period of the house, with some quirky little twists. Very reminiscent of New England B&Bs.
Breakfast (despite being meatless) was amazing with generous helpings.
My only slightly negative observation is that the en suite was very compact. It being squeezed into a traditional room. This is always a problem with older properties and is perfectly adequate except to those of very generous proportions.
This shouldn't deter anyone from staying at this excellent property, hence my 5 stars

A lovely Victorian guest house walking distance from Buxton’s sights and amenities. We were given a warm welcome, a lovely room with very comfortable bed & everything we needed. Breakfast was extensive; freshly prepared and delicious. Would highly recommend.

Short break
Stayed for 3 nights for a very enjoyable stay. The breakfast menu gave a very considerable choice (2 sides A4) of vegetarian breakfasts and excelled in variety, quantity and quality (am not personally a veggie!). Kingscroft has ample car parking and is around a 10/15 min walk to Buxton town centre. If you go do take your breakfast appetite with you.

Beautifully simple and excellent service. We arrived very early and left the car whilst exploring Buxton. Quick check in later on and lovely room with four poster bed and everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing (vegetarian) and plentiful portions. Perfect spot. We did a foodie mystery tour of Buxton and Kingscroft was within east reach of everything we visited. Excellent all round.
