Booked this on the strength of previous reviews. We were greeted with tea and lovely homemade biscuits. The rooms were very nicely presented. We had an ensuite room which i recommend highly. The breakfast was very good. I had the full English one day and the scrambled egg with smoked salmon the next.. Very good indeed. We will be coming... More

We spent 3 nights here in April. An excellent bed and breakfast hotel with friendly, attentive hosts. Our room was large with comfortable bed and lovely views. Breakfast was delicious and the guest lounge was well equipped with magazines and tourist information We will definitely be back!

We stayed three nights an were very impressed indeed. The room was comfortable and bathroom spotless . The lady host was charming. The breakfast was superb. The lounge was spacious and full of tourist leaflets. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

We arrived tired and exhausted from travelling around the UK in not the most pleasant weather, but Ruth and George made us welcome with tea and cake on arrival and were most gracious hosts. The room was warm, elegant and well appointed and looked over the snow covered garden. Dinner on the first night was wonderful as was all the... More

What a find. One of the best guest houses we have ever stayed in. The food is brilliant, both dinner and breakfast, all thanks to Ruth and George Hardie. If you have an interewt in playing golf, you are spoilt for choice, give George a ring and he will be pleased to advize. Southmead is quiet and spotless:well furnished and... More

Several inches of snow nearly kept us away. We are so glad it did not. Everything about Southmead is first class including the varied breakfast options.

We were given a wonderful welcome by Ruth, who is very friendly and chatty and showed us round before offering us tea in the cosy guest sitting room. The tea came with delicious slices of homemade banana bread, which was a lovely surprise. Every area of... More

We have just returned home after a two night stay at Southmead, which would highly recommend and when we visit Buxton again we would certainly stay at Southmead. The room was very large and comfortable. It was also lovely and warm, given that the weather was very cold. The rooms that were for guests' use were spacious and comfortable and... More

We spent 2 nights as a family (2 adfults and 2 young children) at Southmead and were well looked after. Ruth was very friendly and helpful, the accommodation comfortable and no problems with the children. Breakfast particularly nice and nothing was too much trouble. Only thing perhaps to improve would be the showers which lacked pressure, otherwise pleased with our... More
