Buxton's beauty is a popular choice for weddings, the house is in walking distance of the Palace Hotel, Old Hall Hotel, Crescent Hotel, Devonshire Dome and Pavilion Gardens, all popular reception venues. We have had brides leave from our door for their big day, families delighted to have a venue where they can relax informally together without the constraints of a hotel.
As a resident since childhood I am an enthusiast of my beautiful town, the specialist shops within the Cavendish arcade the former spa bathing area, the extensive choice of places to sample the local gastronomic delights, the wonderful Opera house and the stunning Pooles cavern which is rated as England's finest show cavern are just a few of the highlights. The beautifully kept 23 acre Pavilion gardens is a wonderful place for all ages to enjoy a fun filled time.

Wonderful cosy country stay
I visited with a group of girlfriends for my sisters birthday. We had everything we needed for cooking big meals and staying so warm and cosy during our winter stay! We found a path up into the Peaks right behind the house and it’s a short walk into town for visiting the cute pubs! Susan was very responsive and helpful throughout!

60th Birthday celebration
Perfect accommodation for friends and family, ages from 4 to 64. Children enjoyed the playroom. The dining room table was big enough to accommodate us all. The kitchen had plenty of mugs and plates etc and everywhere was immaculately clean. Would definitely recommend, thank you Angela

Buxton family weekend
Well equipped house within walking distance (steep walk back) of Buxton. Garden was a bit smaller than anticpated and garden furniture could do with a lick of paint.. House was well equipped especially the kitchen, could do with another bathroom but that can't be helped! All in all we had a great time! Some rather strict rules and were surprised to have to strip all beds and empty bedroom bins on checking out as we would have thought that was the cleaner's job but it did not affect our enjoyment of catching up with family.

Our guests write …

We have just spent the most amazing Christmas at the lovely Wellwood Lodge. It is challenging to find such spacious accommodation for a group of 8 adults and 5 children.
Of all the large properties I have been to on group holidays, this was a definite favourite! The kitchen was superb, and with multiple ovens was so well equipped for preparing a huge Christmas dinner. The numerous bathrooms make a real difference, and the bed was the most comfy bed my husband and I have ever slept in.
We could not have been happier with our choice, and would highly recommend this house to others...

Wonderful family 60th celebration, fantastic warm accommodation very well equipped, amazing place.
A beautifully appointed house with everything you could want! We have enjoyed lovely weather, walks and stunning views. We are sure we will return!

Fantastic house, a perfect base for my hen weekend. Lots of fun had by all, loads of space, great accommodation and very well equipped kitchen. Loved it!

Fantastic house that surpassed all expectations.

What makes this property unique

Loads of space for groups to socialise, this factor is always mentioned by our visitors!
Great showers with lots of hot water.
Warm and cosy despite its size.
Superbly equipped with every preparation utensil you could need.
Great views!
Within walking distance of independent shops and restaurants.
Woodland walks just 200 m away, perfect for dogs!
