The hotel in a beautiful setting that was very friendly and excellent food
Pros:

Fantastic setting with extremely friendly staff. The food was excellent. The hotel had a lovely atmosphere.

Cons:

The lighting in the bedroom was very low and it was impossible to read in bed.
The room would’ve benefited with an extra comfortable chair.

We enjoyed our stay at the charming and historic Maynard Hotel, set in a very scenic valley.
Pros:

The hotel is full of warm character and there are nice touches in the rooms, including lovely toiletries, gourmet teas and a coffee maker.

Cons:

The bed was firm and the pillows weren’t very comfortable.

Fabulous break for us unfortunately will wait to see if they’ve made improvements before coming back
Pros:

Excellent food on Sunday lunch in restaurant staff were good too. Sunday night in bar food also good. Breakfast Monday very nice especially good quality sausages.

View from Fullerton Suite amazing. Nice touch chocolates for anniversary.

Sunday afternoon band playing in garden lovely touch.

Cons:

We stayed many times before but notice now taken over lots more hotels Maynard being the first is looking tired especially stairs carpet and walls and our suite ready for redecoration

Also lacking in amenities - no shower caps in room or available at reception. No tissues - simple things you’d expect in 4* AA rated hotel.

Staff on Sunday evening seemed very sparse too. We saw lots of guests wondering looking for help - 4 staff members were in garden drinking probably after shift but didn’t give good impression to those visiting and wanting to sit in garden as the only throws were taken up by staff sat outside drinking.

Breakfast food quality great but limited to one choice ? Never before told can only have cooked breakfast no cereals or pastries unless pay extra? Just toast served as included would be expected if want to keep 4*

Excellent hotel for the Peaks.
Pros:

Great location on the edge of the Peaks. Plenty of parking, guests don't pay. The standout feature was the friendly staff, who were helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and the local area. Both the evening meal and breakfast were very good. Some of the decorations looked tired, but with a mood board in reception, they are in the process of updating them.
