The Roseleigh is well situated in the heart of Buxton amongst the hills of the Peak District National Park.

The Duke of Devonshire originally owned the land that the Roseleigh was built on in 1870.

The Roseleigh lies on a quiet pedestrian walk (shown opposite) and overlooks the lake set in the 23 acre Pavilion Gardens.

The Pavilion Gardens were designed by Joseph Paxton (chief gardener to the Duke of Devonshire at nearby Chatsworth House and designer of the Crystal Palace) in the late 19th century.

There are amenities for all ages in the Gardens, including a spa water swimming pool.

The town of Buxton has an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes.
