The room was nicely decorated and the landlord was friendly. Breakfast was excellent and served in large portions. Access to town amenities was good too. The only downside was the lack of a lift which means we had to carry to large briefcases up three floors

Volodymyr and his wife made us feel very welcome, like old friends. Breakfast was wonderful. The entire place was spotless. The ambience is almost 'Dowtonesque' without any of the pretentiousness or snobbery. They even have a beautiful Blüthner grand piano in the sitting room. This was our first time staying here but it won't be our last.

really good B and B, friendly attentive service by the owner. Breakfast is a highlight, the only downside is having to choose the day before, but I understand why, and it is so good. it is a 10 to 15 minute walk into the town centre which is lower down so the walk back is uphill. the room we had was big and had everything you need. its Victorian in style and very well maintained.

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...

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

Lovely and welcoming with wonderful breakfast.

We stayed 1 night in the lovely room for 3 persons. We felt very welcome and the place has a lovely atmosphere. Very good service and you can really feel how they make an extra effort to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast was fresh and so well made with a something for every taste. Definitely a place we will remember and come back to.

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.

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.

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.

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
