A wonderful comfortable short stay at The Maynard, we'll be back when the batteries need recharging.
Pros:

The superior room was excellent, spacious, comfortable and well equipped.
Staying only for one night, we had an excellent meal in the restaurant, the food was first rate. A lovely comfortable relaxed feel to the evening.
Breakfast the following morning was excellent, showcasing the fabulous local produce sourced by The Maynard.
Excellent value particularly taking advantage of the 'My Longbow' app.

Cons:

The weather was a little foggy in the morning but the Maynard can't be held responsible for that ;)

Overall, i would gladly come back to the hotel if i visit Sheffield again.
Pros:

Very friendly staff and a quiet hotel in a beautifully restored old building. Great sound system throughout, including a radio in the room.

Cons:

The breakfast was cooked to order, which was appreciated. However, it wasn’t as fabulous as advertised—good, but not outstanding. This may simply come down to personal taste.

It would be perfect, but the exhaust made it awful
Pros:

The hotel itself is great and really good value, the breakfast is really tasty and majority of the staff was very nice. The room was very well decorated.

Cons:

However we got room with kitchen exhausted just outside our window, which is very noisy between 7am and 10pm, so there is no chance you will relax or sleep once this is on. We did asked about it on the reception and were told that even though the hotel is pretty much empty, they cannot change our room because we booked on booking.com and they can only change it for another room by the exhaust. If that is the case and you are selling on booking.com bad rooms, then you should mention it in description. Btw I paid extra to have Superior room, not so superior to be woken up by horrible noise at 7am on your holiday.

Pretty good overall
Pros:

The room was warm and comfortable and the restaurant and bar were also nice. The hotel provided a super useful guide on walks in the area including walks adjacent to the hotel.
The location is OK but not near the town or pubs. So you're kind of stuck there for the evening. That didn't bother us too much as we had the restaurant booked, the the bar was open and we were tired after a long walk. But if you're looking for a bit of craic in the evening you're not in the best place.
The breakfast was OK but service v slow. It took 40 mins for them to produce a continental breakfast and a bowl of porridge. Coffee was not great and you have to pay extra for cappuccino.
The meal was v good. One curiosity is their recommendation of having chips with ravioli. I took the bait but remin perplexed.
Overall, worth the minor inconveniences to be in a comfortable hotel.
