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.

An absolute gem in the Peak District. Accommodation, service and hospitality was top drawer !
Pros:

A 5 star stay - every little detail taken care of. I arrived just after the restaurant had closed but was offered dessert by the receptionist as she could see it had been a long day. The room was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The breakfast and service was impeccable. Will definitely being staying again for both business and pleasure when next in the Peak District.

Cons:

It was raining when I arrived. :)
