Beautiful room, stunning location, amazing staff!
Pros:

We attended a weeding on Thursday 6th August and stayed overnight in the hotel. Stunning venue in an amazing location, food service and facilities were top notch. The staff couldn't have been more attentive and catered to all our requirements even if they didn't fit their schedule which is true testament to a well run establishment. The room was absolutely amazing one of the best we've ever stayed in!

One quick note and this is not a criticism but I noticed some of the wood floors and carpets are in need of some cleaning/restoration. I only noticed as I work in this field so if you need a quote please feel free to reach out.

Nice staff, nice location, underwhelming food and room comfort
Pros:

The charm of the architecture and the beautiful location

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable. Also not having a fridge in the room was surprising given it was a nicer room. Also I felt the breakfast could have been nicer and either more generous in a buffet style or more freshly cooked since they went à la carte.

Great service and accommodation in pleasant surroundings
Pros:

My wife and I had a great overnight stay and evening meal at The Maynard. It was a great place for a last minute break away from the kids even though we only live on the other side of the Peak District. This gave us both an opportunity to recharge and go for a walk to Alport Castles near to Ladybower (they're not Castles, they are an active geological feature, before any North American tourists complain).

The staff were extremely friendly and attentive from the moment we set foot inside the hotel. Even the waiting staff engaged with us while waiting at the reception desk to ensure we would be seen to shortly. I'm not one for people standing on ceremony, but it was a small gesture that was appreciated. We were also alerted to a wedding party breakfast in the morning and recommended to eat earlier to avoid the noise. Can't think of the last time staff were this considerate and attentive in the UK for a hotel of this price range. There is clearly a real pride in the reputation of The Maynard.

The room was clean and tidy and complimentary coffee and tea was available. I was pleasantly surprised to find that even the decaf coffee served in the restaurant and at breakfast was flavourful. This may seem like a very small positive observation, but in my view, so many hotels and restaurants don't hit the mark on coffee quality, let alone the decaf option. Top marks for this on a personal level.

We also had an evening meal and breakfast at the hotel and can't fault the hotel for the selection on offer. The gourmand desert selection is chef's choice, but well worth it as a sharer and comes with a drink of your choice (prices vary).

Overall, I would gladly return here again if the opportunity presents itself, even just for a meal in the restaurant. I didn't catch the name of anyone else at the hotel, but I'll give recognition to Harmonie for the service at dinner as she reflected the same quality of service given by all the staff.

Top Quality Food And Service.
Pros:

A beautiful hotel and restaurant in a picturesque location. I took my friend for lunch for her birthday and we enjoyed delicious food in beautiful surroundings. The staff and management were extremely professional and gave us a very warm welcome and excellent service throughout. I can offer nothing but praise for the high quality food and service we received. We would highly recommend a visit to the Maynard to anyone and we would definitely return again.
