The house had a welcoming feel, breakfast was delicious (small bowl of fruit was very generous - no idea what size the large one would be!). And in the lounge there's a beautiful Blüthner grand piano, which for me was the icing on the cake. Or even the cake itself...

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

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.

A great stay

Beautiful room in a really lovely Victorian house. The attention to detail was absolutely spot on. The breakfast was amazing. We had the birdcage, which was filled with fresh pastries. We couldn’t finish it, we had to bring some home!! The bed was really comfortable. The host was really efficient and friendly.

Lovely stay

The Kingscroft is a lovely, quaint restored Victorian home that is very warm and welcoming. Our room was spacious and very clean with little extras such as fresh fruit, free mini fridge with water and other drinks and biscuits and the bed was very comfortable. Should you happen to forget your toothbrush or other essentials, they’ll happily supply you with one. Be aware..breakfast is delicious with large portions so make sure you’re hungry.
