Others have said it already but this bed and breakfast accommodation is so good that it bears repeating. We stayed for two nights in May 2012. The house is spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated and perfectly clean; the facilities are all that one could wish to find in a B&B, including dressing gowns, home-made cake or biscuits when you arrive and...

George and Ruth are wonderful hosts, and the place and breakfasts delightful. Everything has been carefully thought out and this is a B&B with outstanding quality and value. More

Ruth and George certainly know how to run the perfect B and B. We stayed only 2 nights, and would have liked to stay 2 weeks! Other guests have said it all - so nothing to add except don't hesitate to stay there. Wendy and Tom. More

Finding ourselves back in Buxton we had to return to that delightful Southmead Guest House. From the welcome at the door, it spoke of quality and Ruth and George went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The 4 star rating seemed less than just as there were many features, which one would only find in a 5... More

We stayed at Southmead guest house for 4 nights-met up with family for a wedding in Buxton. i can honestly say it was the cleanest & most comfortable B&B i have ever been in. Ruth & George could not do enough for us-their hospitality was unbelievable - nothing was too much for them. we had the use of a lovely... More

We stayed here for a walking weekend and it was just perfect, from the homemade cake on arrival, friendly hosts, Ruth's great breakfasts, lovely house and walks straight from the door. If this is what you're after, then make sure to stay here! Thank you. More

We booked last minute only to find a truly lovely guest house. Ruth and George were fantastic hosts and their place was beautifully decorated and very cosy. The views were also great. Ruth's homemade cake and tasty tea was a very nice welcome after a very long drive up to the Peak District. We would certainly stay there again without... More

This place is so good I almost don't want to share it but Ruth and George deserve all the praise they can get. We stayed for 2 nights in late August and the very first thing on arrival was a pot of tea and home made biscuits in the, very elegant, guest lounge - what a welcome! The rooms are... More

This was the third time I have stayed at Southmead and it is like being 'home away from home'. George and Ruth are perfect hosts and make everyone feel very welcome. The rooms are immaculate and breakfast (Ruth's home made bread, marmalade and muesli and the cooked breakfast made by George) is superb. Not to be forgotten, the welcoming cup... More

This is a fantastic B&B. The hosts are lovely and friendly, the accommodation is spotlessly clean, the rooms are quiet, the house is charming and the location is convenient, etc. Basically, it's perfect. I travel a lot and would say this is probably a tie for 'best B&B' that I have EVER stayed at. I would recommend it to anyone... More
