Response from VrboOwner on 5 May 2025
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I understand that street parking may not be preferred, however I hope that my check in info provided you clear instructions in advance of the plentiful free parking that is only a minute or so walk away. I hope to see you again in the future.
About the host
Hosted by Philippa
I’m originally from Canada but have lived here for many years.
Why they chose this property
I bought this house as a way to honour my father’s memory. He always said Buxton was home. I spend time at Harpur Cottage to feel closer to him.
What makes this property unique
My house has been carefully curated to give guests a wonderful homely feel. Guests described my place as “deceptively spacious” and I’ve worked hard to make it feel like a home away from home and set expectations before my guests arrive.
