The location captures the essence of the countryside, surrounded by picturesque views perfect for hiking. The character of the building adds a unique charm that's hard to find in modern hotels.

No elevators present, which can be a challenge for those with heavy luggage or mobility issues. The mattress in the standard double room felt incredibly firm, creating an uncomfortable sleep situation for side sleepers like me. Breakfast service lagged significantly. it lacks a self-service setup for cereals and juices—only a full service. Plus, no dedicated facility for drying wet gear after a day on the trails felt like a missed opportunity for walkers.

Outstanding Breakfast Spread

Arrived to friendly staff and a clean room, which had a lovely modern glass lighting feature above the shower. The location offered stunning views and easy access to beautiful hikes like Padley Gorge. Dinner was delicious, though the portions were smaller than expected. Breakfast was a highlight with multiple options, all cooked perfectly. The grounds provided a pleasant area to unwind after our adventures.

Strongly recommend for a short-term stay

Charming hotel, friendly staff, where we enjoyed a comfortable bed and a hot shower, alongside free wi-fi in the room and excellent dining options in a beautiful room with a view.

No complaints from me.

What a charming place! I adored the stunning views and the lovely little touches in our room. Such a treat to unwind with a beautiful garden right outside.

But, goodness gracious, the WiFi was slower than a tortoise on a leisurely stroll! I couldn’t even post my holiday selfies—tragic!

The Maynard dazzled with exceptional breakfasts and delectable dinner options! The kids loved the family room vibe, and I must say those poached eggs were seriously the best! a fab experience!

We did have a bit of a nuisance with noisy wedding guests keeping us up, definitely not ideal! Plus, the initial starter was a letdown with thick beef slices just sitting there without any flair.

The Maynard features stunning historical decor and beautiful views of the surrounding Peak District. The spacious common areas and attentive staff made it easy for me to navigate and enjoy my stay comfortably.

A lift for easier access to upper floors.

An Unforgettable Wedding Experience!

We celebrated a family wedding at this lovely venue. The staff showcased exceptional organization, catering to every last-minute request. The food was simply delightful—both the wedding breakfast and evening snacks were outstanding! Rooms were pristine and cozy, making for a wonderful night’s rest. Highly recommend for special events!

Perfect spot for hikers!

What a find! The location's awesome for hikes like Padley Gorge, and the staff are super friendly. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. The room we had was snazzy and comfy, just right for two nights. Only thing is the bar area felt kinda sterile, more like a bright cafe than a cozy pub vibe.

immersive nature experience with friendly staff and stunning upstream views

Hotel feels luxurious yet welcoming.

Room was spacious and comfy. Wi-Fi was weak at times. Friendly staff made us feel special.

The Maynard was a delightful surprise! We thoroughly enjoyed the diverse vegan-friendly menu, especially the flavorful dinner options and the best poached eggs for breakfast. The cozy atmosphere with beautiful Peak District views made our stay even more memorable.

A bit noisy due to other guests.

We stayed in the Superior Family Room, and it was super spacious and clean! The beds were comfy, and having a Nespresso machine was a nice touch for that morning coffee. The decor was stylish too. Really liked the big windows that let in natural light. My only downside was that it could get a bit noisy at times, but overall, really enjoyed the room!
