We attended a wedding reception and stayed over. When we first knew where the reception was being held, we phoned to book a room but for some reason they wouldn't accept a booking. When they eventually did some weeks later (by which time apparently only one room was available) they didn't offer us the discounted room price we'd been told... more

This is an imposing gothic pile right by the main road through the small Derbyshire village of Grindleford, set partly up the hillside. Although I didn't look into the history I suspect it was built as a hotel when the railway line from Sheffield to Manchester opened - through what was until the Channel Tunnel rail link was completed was... more

Didnt expect the Hotel to be so near to road. Imposing building with plenty of parking. We had a room at the front, same side as road and above the bar, maybe because its an old building and fairly substantial, noise was'nt an issue. We were greeted by Patrick who was welcoming and polite. The room (twin) was spacious, the... more

This hotel is beautifully positioned, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside from one side. We booked two nights' accommodation for our daughter's wedding, All the wedding arrangements went very well, the food was delicious, staff helpful, and the whole event went very smoothly. The rooms were comfortable, nicely furnished, and bathrooms modern and well equipped. However, we had to... more

We stayed for one night at The Maynard after Christmas for one night, to take a break with our daughter after the excesses of the festive season. On arrival we were excited as the hotel is a large gothic building overlooking beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Our room was a bit of a disappointment, as for the 150.00 price... more

Enjoyed our 1 night stay lovely views from our bedroom, nice room and bathroom. Evening meal very good just enough choice to allow for excellent cooking. Breakfast was probably one of the most disappointing factors, but overall a lovely hotel with good service more

We needed somewhere to stay on our way back home so emailed a few hotels in the area that morning. Whilst the Maynard was not the cheapest, we liked the look of the website so confirmed the booking. Unfortunately, we arrived later than anticipated and missed dinner, which was unfortunate as I have a feeling the evening meal would have... more

I booked one night in the Suite room (14) as a surprise for my partner's birthday. I was very pleasantly surprisd myself when we arrived and I saw the room for the first time - it had a really luxurious feel to it, was huge, had brilliant decor, a freestanding bath, double sinks, a huge plasma TV screen and amazing... more

Stayed here for one night on business and was given an upgrade to the top floor suite and a discount on the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was fabulous. Couple of little could do betters whilst the restaurant food was good the chick peas that formed the base layer of my main course were... more
