It is a while since I last posted and we have been busy with visitors the past few weeks but this is an opportunity that should not be missed! It is the annual decoration of the wells in St John’s Church, Buxton and my first time getting involved! It is worth a visit to see the process or even give it a go! The Well Dressing festival is from 5th - 14th July

This year, I have removed the wallpaper and painted a feature wall in the king room with cabin bunk beds! Sage green may not be everybody’s choice but it is a very relaxing colour and blends well with the red and poppy duvet cover. I hope you like it! We have plenty of availability for weekends in March if you have an occasion or fancy a group getaway

Yet another lovely morning in Buxton. These pictures are taken of the eco area just around the corner from Wellwood Lodge. There is still quite a lot of snow in the garden but pathway cleared and guests have arrived for their stay.

Beautiful snowy day in Buxton today. Getting in and out of the town has been quite tricky due to drifting snow but conditions are slowly improving so hopefully our guests can make it here tomorrow

After discovering a broken handle on Monday, realising it was irreparable and not being able to find a modern chest of a similar size and structure, I decided to update this 1970s piece of furniture in our twin bedroom. 3 coats of Annie Sloan Chalk paint, a coating of wax and some new handles and finished just in time for this weekend’s visitors. What a transformation!

This year’s Buxton Well Dressings are looking fabulous! The one by the well near the Crescent is celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the one on the market place is commemorating the discovery of Tutankhamen by Howard Carter in 1922. The Well Dressing Festival ends this weekend culminating in the Buxton Carnival on Saturday at 2pm. If you are visiting us later this summer and don’t get a chance to see them, then you may find another location to visit here https://www.visitpeakdistrict.com/conference/whats-on/well-dressings

After a recent comment about the foot stool and knowing that the conservatory is a popular space for seating, we have replaced the wicker chairs with a sofa.

A busy week of making improvements for the Easter holidays and onwards! In order to provide more flexible sleeping arrangements for family groups, we have replaced the single bed with a purpose built adult sized bunk bed that also makes a cosy sleeping arrangement for children! We have also replaced the snooker table with an American pool table!

After a rather difficult 2 years, it was lovely to welcome our Christmas and New Year guests and to welcome 2022 with slightly more optimism going forwards. We still have plenty of availability throughout the year including this coming weekend at a discounted price of £1000 for up to 14 people. It’s now time to plan your visit to Wellwood Lodge and to explore all that the beautiful Peak District has to offer! To all our future guests, we look forward to welcoming you in 2022

Celebrating 150 years of the Pavilion Gardens, the well dressing team have done an amazing job creating this work of art. The Well Dressing usually occurs in July in Buxton so this is a lovely bonus for our visitors staying this week

Lovely springtime and peonies! Apparently one of the favourite flowers of the Duchess of Sussex and becoming very popular in the UK. Love how they appear at the entrance - just a shame they do not last for long!

A little sneak peak of the Buxton Crescent Heritage Experiences that we visited with a special resident of Buxton ticket today! Hopefully this attraction will be open to our guests later in the summer! It was lovely to discover more about the history of this beautiful town

It was always going to be busy on this gorgeous sunny Bank holiday weekend with the gradual easing of lockdown and the car parks were full before 9.30am!! A slight change in plans and after an uphill climb, it was lovely to get this view of Ladybower Reservoir from Whinstone Lee Tor

26/05/2021

Just a short drive from Buxton, I have finally had a look around the site of Magpie Mine near Sheldon. The surface remains are some of the best examples of lead mining activity in Britain and best of all, a look around the site is free!

Just popping up to say hello! Our first guests have arrived and we have a busy summer ahead! Here’s looking forward to welcoming you!
