The food was delicious and the dcor was great. Jess, Liv, Millie and Stephen thanks for a great day. The Maynard itself is beautiful and done to a really high standard. Our room was spacious, with a new bathroom and the biggest bed I've ever seen which was as comfortable as it looked. Stayed here while on a hillwalking course locally. I just wanted to send positive feedback as Ive made a few calls about booking recently - wanting to find a nice quiet room, book dinner, that sort of thing. We have enjoyed eating her on several occasions. Great atmosphere in the bar and restaurant (which has super views of the Grindleford hills). I have to give a special mention to Travis who looked after us so well, nothing was too much trouble for him. Both were excellent. Me and my partner arrived at short notice with little knowledge of the hotel and were pleasantly surprised. I had turkey for my main course which was delicious. The food was excellent. Super lunch in the garden, very busy which was great to see. It was superb, and the beef brisket in particular was delicious! We cant wait to come back. The staff were excellent (Arron served us). Great evening sat in the garden with the last of the sun, what an incredible spot. We shall certainly return! We stayed from Fri-Sun for my best friends wedding and cant fault the Maynard.

The views across the valley are spectacular with a lovely terrace if the weather is warm. I have not stayed at the Maynard but will be very soon. Food and service was amazing. A beautiful building located just a stones throw away from the historic Padley Gorge and Chapel. Such a wonderful setting. I cannot say that I have been before but I have driven past a good few times, I had seen the place advertised on Instagram and I thought it looked amazing so as I had planned a day out for a walk and paddle at Padley Gorge I thought there would be no better way to start the day than a good breakfast.

We have a wide range of premium bedrooms of all sizes for a perfect nights sleep. The food and service was excellent. Our dog gives it the thumbs up too as she was totally chilled and got lot lots of fuss. To the point where it would be unfair to single out one single employee as they were all so helpful and warm and friendly. They respected social distancing and gently reminded members of our group to adhere to the guidance too. Relaxed and elegant surroundings. See what other guests have said about their time with us. Efficient and pleasant service, attractive surroundings. Service is second to none and clearly trained to the highest standard. We ate in the hotel both nights and can recommend the Pork Belly and Sea Bass in particular. And great to have normal menus and service rather than Instagraming a robot app in Bolivia.
