The experience

We are located in the beautiful spa town of Buxton, right in the heart of the Peak District! We bought a large (8 bedroom!) Victorian house which needed a full restoration and although the house is well on its way, we are in need of some support in certain areas of the property. We’ve been volunteers ourselves as we spent a year travelling abroad, so feel we would know how to be good hosts!
