What a fantastic stay at Roseleigh B&B Buxton. Gerard & Maggie where the perfect hosts, from walking through the front door everything was beautiful, spotlessly clean, comfy beds, breakfast delicious, nothing to complain about here. Breakfast staff were lovely too. Would absolutely recommend this gem of a place, central for all amenities, beautiful views over the lake.....perfect!!

The owners of this charming guest house are exceptionally warm and welcoming. Jarred (I hope I’ve spelled his name correctly) is remarkably knowledgeable about the surrounding area. He offered thoughtful recommendations for restaurants and hiking trails, and even shared fascinating insights into Buxton’s rich history, taking the time to explain key historical events. The guest house itself enjoys a superb location, directly opposite a beautiful park that is truly a hidden gem—well worth exploring at a leisurely pace to appreciate its natural beauty. Buxton is a delightful town with friendly locals, and you’ll find plenty of inviting restaurants to enjoy. At Bailey’s, be sure to ask for Steven—the Rothschild wine is excellent value—and at Simply Thai, look out for Oliver, the charming “Harry Potter” look-alike, who provides wonderful service. Breakfast at the guest house easily rivals that of any fine hotel. The hot porridge and freshly baked scones served with tea were particular highlights, though the menu offers plenty to choose from.

Roseleigh is perfectly situated to explore all that Buxton has to offer, from the wonderful architecture of the Crescent and the history of the Spa water, to the numerous good quality restaurants and bars. Gerard and Maggie are superb hosts, extremely welcoming and Gerard’s knowledge of the town is excellent and really helpful before you venture out. Roseleigh House is spacious and beautifully decorated. The rooms are extremely comfortable and well equipped, the en-suite bathrooms are modern with all of the facilities you will require. Finally, to top if off, the breakfast is of the highest quality we’ve ever experienced. Highly recommended, we’ll be using it again.

Everything about the Roseleigh exceeded expectations and was absolutely lovely! The owner met me at the door upon my (much later than expected) arrival, provided me with some information, and was kind enough to repeat that information at breakfast the next morning (understanding that i must have been quite tired after a long trip). The breakfast is excellent. They have a small menu with items to please everyone, as well as a buffet of cheeses, yogurts, cereals and all different kinds of fresh juices. The room was cozy, clean, and quiet. Exactly what I needed, for a peaceful weekend. The hotel is located right on a park that is beautiful for a walk, and it's also close to the main centre of town. I can not recommend this establishment enough. Will absolutely be back!

We booked our stay in Buxton very last minute and were thoroughly impressed with Roseleigh. Gerard welcomed us very warmly and gave us some great information about the town. The location was in walking distance to all the main attractions. The views were stunning- looking out to the Pavilion gardens! The room was spacious and decorated sympathetically to the age of the building. Breakfast had a great selection of cereals as well as a full cooked breakfast. We're already thinking of staying again on our way back down the country on our roadtrip. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Our stay was delightful. We had a fantastic time in Buxton. The location of the guesthouse was excellent, easily walkable to everywhere and across from a gorgeous park. Very peaceful. The breakfast was delicious, with a great selection and freshly prepared. The service was smooth and professional, all the staff were so efficient and friendly. The room was large and comfortable, very clean with good beds.

Roseleigh is well located close to the centre of Buxton, the room was very comfortable with a view over the park and the breakfast was excellent. A particular thank you to Gerald for his very informative potted history of the town and surrounding area. Highly recommended.

We’ve stayed here twice now and absolutely loved it both times. Gerard and Maggie are amazing hosts, so friendly and welcoming. Gerard gave us some great recommendations for hikes and places to visit around Buxton. The room was clean, airy, and spotless, with amazing views. Breakfast was freshly cooked, delicious, and had plenty of options. We’d definitely love to go back again!
