Great for family get-togethers The house is enormous and easily caters for 3 or 4 families. Living room in particular is huge and dining room big enough to accommodate us all. Exceedingly well equipped kitchen, The bedrooms are all fantastic in terms of size and comfort, 4 bathrooms. Great fun in games room. Good location. Lots of parking. Nature reserve nearby good for dog-walks. Close to town centre.
Wellwood lodge welcomes you to an impressive and beautifully appointed house of very generous proportions
Dogs may come for £30 each per stay, a stunning nature reserve awaits just a 10 minutes walk, or if preferred the ancient woodland that leads up to Corbar Cross 5 minutes along the road.
Delighted to be awarded a certificate of excellence by Trip Advisor Wellwood Lodge is on the edge of glorious countryside yet just ten minutes walk to the bars, shops and stunning architecture and parks of Buxton!
Considerable recent updating gives visitors a superior self-catering experience in the beautiful spa town of Buxton and the stunning Peak District. A bespoke handcrafted oak staircase rises through the heart of the house to the six spacious bedrooms one of which is a stunning 4 poster room with en suite. There are 4 bath / shower rooms in total.
A huge (31 ft) 9.5 metres lounge offers a wonderful space for entertaining. Wi-fi is accessible throughout the property.
The fully-fitted and exceptionally well equipped kitchen leads to a Victorian-style conservatory and a dining room with an 8 foot square table that seats 12 to 14.
In the basement is a small games room with table football and pool table loved by all ages!
It is the perfect house and location for family and friends gatherings.
The house is on a hillside with a front and enclosed rear garden with a small lawn. For a small fee we allow owners to bring their well behaved dogs to enjoy their holiday too.
Plenty of space for walks less than 5 minutes away
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.
The Property Comprises:
• Ground Floor: Very spacious lounge, with coal effect gas fire, 50 inch Smart TV, DVD player, iPod & iPhone compatible docking Speaker, CD and radio player, leather lounge seating for everyone to sit in comfort.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Howarth
I have a BA hons degree in International Tourism Management with French and have worked in tourism mainly as an Information Assistant since completing my degree in 2001, providing me with vast knowledge of the Peak District area. These days, I am a mum to Thomas born in 2010 and along with keeping the property in good shape I enjoy socialising and exercising through Zumba, Clubbercise and walking our Border collie.
Why they chose this property
Formerly our family home which my parents left to do bed and breakfast in Buxton. For 29 years it has been let out to visitors, myself taking charge of the business in 2010.
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.
