“Compton Guest House occupies a quiet street in Buxton, yet it's only a short walk to the market and attractions like Poole Caverns. The rooms feel warm and are appointed with quality touches, including ample tea and coffee, and the beds are consistently noted for their comfort. Shared bathrooms here, surprisingly, are kept to a remarkably high standard of cleanliness and equipage, making this a sensible and surprisingly refined choice for a Peak District stay.”
