🌸 Buxton City Break – Day 3 🌸
So, today I decided to… well, first off, I woke up really late. Like, embarrassingly late.
I completely missed breakfast at the Donovan restaurant. The famous 8 a.m. Full English Breakfast? Yeah, not happening for me today.
But honestly? I didn’t mind. I needed a little lie-in. After two days of walking, exploring, and swimming, my body deserved it.
🛏️ Late Start, Cute Outfit Vibes
After a slow morning, I finally had a long shower, picked out a cute floral outfit (because when you’re on a solo trip, every outfit counts!), and by the time I checked the clock, it was already around 11 a.m.
No regrets. Sometimes, the best part of a city break is the slow mornings.
💆♀️ Spa Day – Full Body Massage Bliss
By noon, I headed down to the Elemis Spa at the Palace Hotel and finally booked myself a full body massage.
I’d been craving it since Day 1 and — oh my goodness it was everything. The massage left me so relaxed I nearly floated back to my room.
💷 Cost: ~£30 (worth every single penny).
☕ Afternoon Tea – My Bridgerton Moment
After my spa session, I decided to indulge in something I’d been dreaming about for this trip: Afternoon Tea.
Think Bridgerton vibes with pretty china cups, dainty sandwiches, and warm, fluffy scones served with butter and strawberry jam.
And of course, a whole pot of tea because one cup is never enough.
I felt like I’d stepped straight into a period drama, minus the corset (thank God).
💷 Cost: £16
📱 TikToks & Content Creation
I didn’t make it to the swimming pool or sauna today (I wanted to, but the day just slipped away).
Instead, I spent a bit of the afternoon making TikTok videos, editing, and posting updates to my socials. Because, yes even on holiday, content must be created.
🍜 Dinner – Back to Simply Thai (Because Why Not?)
By evening, I was debating whether to try Mexican food — but honestly, I wasn’t feeling adventurous.
So I went back to Simply Thai for dinner, and they did NOT disappoint (again).
This time, I went all in for a three-course meal — starter, main, dessert, drinks, the whole shebang.
💷 Cost: around £40
And worth it. Every. Single. Bite.
🌙 Evening Wind-Down
After dinner, I wandered back to the hotel, had another long shower, and treated myself to a little facial session before bed.
Then I curled up with my laptop, checked my blog, reviewed some updates, and wrote this very post.
💷 Day 3 Budget Breakdown
💆♀️ Full Body Massage – £30 ☕ Afternoon Tea – £16🍜 Simply Thai Dinner – £40 🎀 Extra snacks/drinks – £4
✅ Day 3 total: ~£90
🏁 Wrapping Up My Buxton Getaway
And just like that, my 3-day Buxton city break is almost over.
From Domino’s pizza on night one to afternoon tea Bridgerton-style and two Simply Thai dinners, this trip has been exactly what I needed: relaxing, delicious, and a little bit boujee but on a budget.
Would I come back to Buxton? Absolutely. The calm vibe, the stunning gardens, the Palace Hotel Spa — all made it the perfect mini getaway.
Now it’s time to pack up, head home, and maybe (just maybe) plan my next adventure.
Well, it’s a wrap on my 3-day Buxton city break. From relaxing spa moments at the Palace Hotel, to exploring the town’s hidden gems and indulging in delicious food (yes, Simply Thai twice because it’s that good!), this little solo getaway was everything I needed and more.
Buxton gave me a perfect mix of calm, charm, and comfort and for anyone thinking of visiting, I’d say don’t hesitate.
Pack that cute outfit, book that spa session, and take yourself on the trip you’ve been dreaming of.
Until the next adventure… cheers to more city breaks, self-care, and stories to share.
