The Maynard is a very special place for us as it was the venue of our wedding 10 years ago. Like to return as much as possible for drinks and meals and we’re looking at a overnight stay for a 10 year anniversary. The staff brilliant. The venue is great in decor and the variety of drinks available was superb.

The only downside for us was the evening meal. At 7:15, sitting time the restaurant run out of lots of options. Two fish dishes that we had Idle in the day plus the Sunday roasts were out of stock. We opted for steak but they were very chewy and looked like cobbled together cuts. Also the chips weren’t cooked long enough. This was a shame as everything else on our stay was fantastic.

The room had great facilities and was clean and comfy. A bath and coffee machine were nice additions. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good and had several vegetarian options for breakfast.

The telly didn’t work (possibly a bad signal) bur wasn’t a major issue.

All the staff were amazing especially restaurant staff and reception team. Room was decent size and spotless. Restaurant and meals were good portions and really good. Kitchen and restaurant team were EXCEPTIONAL in ensuring my food allergies were factored in. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Really tiny issue in that my room had a view of the car park not the Peaks. The room itself was really lovely. So my recommendation to other guests is book early and if you are like me and love great views from your room, request this at the earliest. That aside, all else was brilliant!

The food is amazing and the staff and their training exceptional. The building is stunning and interiors gorgeous. Large car park free to patrons. Near some lovely walks. Coffee machine with coffee pods and bottled water provided in room. Attention to detail by the staff is impressive.

Our bed was too firm and therefore we didn't sleep well. We had a standard double room called Walker. A lovely room but small. TV didn't work well and the remote didn't seem to be tuned in. No lift and lots of stairs so not good for those with mobility issues. We had view of the car park, but meant we could keep an eye on the car.

The property is quintessential English as it is like a large manor house oozing charm and character. The bar, restaurant and grounds are all lovely and the staff excellent. There is also a nook where for cricket fans there is some great memorabilia as the Australian 1938 test team stayed at the Maynard when on tour in the north of England. Look out for the Bradman guest room! We enjoyed great meals and a full English breakfast in the restaurant at prices comparable to other nearby restaurants.

The only issue is there are no lifts however the staff helped us with our bags up 4 flights of stairs. It is worth the steps as the view from our room across the outdoor area towards Grindleford was superb. The carpark was small with tight spots however as we arrived mid afternoon we secured a good spot to park our large hire car.

The whole experience of staying at The Maynard was excellent from the minute we walked in with the warm friendly greeting at reception to the style of the hotel this was well and truly in tune with it's surroundings, our room was very clean and stylist with a comfortable bed and an amazing shower. We had a 2 night stay and ate on both evenings in the beautiful restaurant with pleasant friendly and courteous staff with a fabulous new menu. My partner is gluten free and 80% of the choices on the menu was gluten free and the dishes we had was so tasty. The Maynard is in a beautiful location with Padley Gorge near by. Would deffo recommend.

Excellent breakfast - had the full English and a fresh fruit salad - lots of choice , served in the restaurant at table , overlooking the lovely garden . Staff polite & helpful .Also it was served til 11am if needed . Evening meal was great -we had Starters Arancini & Scotch Egg , Rabbit & Chicken Supreme ( bit more sauce needed) .Checking in & out easy . Parking good. Lovely location for walks . Room very clean and had all we needed. Would stay again..

There was some noise from the room next door at 5.30am, comings and goings , which did disturb my sleep - may have been some of the wedding party.who were staying..

The continental breakfast was lovely!! The staff were excellent. The rooms were all delightful. The views were beautiful from several rooms. The beds were very comfortable and large.

There was a problem with the shower in my daughter's room. The water wasn't draining away and would have overflowed. She came to our room to shower as she was a bridesmaid and needed to be looking good. Somewhat disappointing for her. When l moved rooms to 'Jeanne' the shower was electric and extremely hard to regulate the temperature. I could stand under it. Very poor flow too. Again disappointing. The room were gorgeous to be in though.

Nice interior design, great location for outdoor pursuits, nice beer garden, great restaurant with a sunny garden view, good meals and breakfast.

We asked for a quiet room away from the kitchen extractor fan and were promised that by reception when we booked ahead, but ended up with a room right over the kitchen extractor fan(!), which was very disappointing; poor booking management. We should have complained but it was too late in the day. It did mean we got a nice view across the fields though, so it was a balance. The room was very hot and with a thick duvet on the bed, so we eventually found how to turn off the electric towel rail, the underfloor heating and the radiator- we also had to remove the duvet from the cover to get to a normal temperature. They need to improve their fruit salad for breakfast- it is very basic indeed, mainly chopped apples! The cooked breakfast is fab ;-)

Breakfast was good nice what we did have. Room did have amazing view and free standing bath lovely. Sundays they have live music which was nice and not intrusive

Breakfast could be improved. would have like option to have cereals and fresh fruit Room is showing signs of wear. Lots of chipped paint. Tap over sink constantly dripping Restaurant and garden open to non residents and when weather hot it gets very very busy and service suffers as people seem to come and stay for hours although young girl who served us did her best. Think they need residents only garden opening as they clearly had another area they didn’t open.
