Nice stay but not special. Food was very good.
Pros:

Breakfast was great, excellent ingredients. Evening dinner was also very good. Good service.

Cons:

The room didn’t meet expectations, much smaller than appeared on the website and overlooking the car park. Too warm, though obviously can’t be helped - but the light above the bathroom door was on all night which kept us awake, especially with the heat. Looked all over for a light switch to no avail but as the hotel is unmanned then no one to ask. Turned out there’s a control in a draw!

Pros:

We loved everything about this location. From the amenities to the surrounding walks, it served as a perfect setting to get us in the mood for attending Chatsworth Film in the Park. We watched Pride & Prejudice, and while staying at The Maynard, it truly made it an exceptional experience.
