The Spotlight on The Maynard

Relaxed Country Escape with Easy Access to the City

Modern rustic charm meets peaceful countryside at The Maynard, a stylish boutique hotel nestled in Grindleford Bridge, just 13 miles from Sheffield’s FlyDSA Arena. Surrounded by the rolling beauty of the Peak District, this cozy hotel combines elegant interiors, a welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful amenities for travelers who want a restful base after a night of live music.
Whether you're heading to a gig in Sheffield or exploring nearby cultural spots like Chatsworth House, The Maynard offers a serene stay with free parking, lush garden spaces, and a restaurant and bar to keep the good vibes going after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the peaceful setting after a loud night out, while still being within easy reach of Sheffield’s concert venues. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out offer a flexible window for arriving late or sleeping in after a gig. With free private parking and concierge service, getting to shows and back is stress-free—even if you're coming from Manchester Airport, just 31 miles away.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish, scenic base with shared outdoor space and a bar
  • Solo travelers chasing that dream concert and craving a quiet place to unwind
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of a live music event
  • Fans who want to recover in peace, away from the downtown noise
  • Budget-conscious travelers who value quality but don’t want to splurge on city-center prices

Food and Drink Options

The Maynard’s on-site restaurant and bar offer convenient dining before or after a show, with local ingredients and seasonal menus that reflect the Peak District’s culinary charm. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s bar stays open late enough for a nightcap, and breakfast is served to help you recover from the night before. Plus, nearby villages offer walkable pub options for those looking to explore.

Nightlife Options

This is more of a relax-and-recharge kind of spot than a party hub, but that’s what makes it ideal for post-concert recovery. While there’s no on-site live music, the bar offers local ales and craft spirits in a cozy setting. If you're up for more nightlife, Sheffield’s vibrant scene is just a short drive or cab ride away.

What People Say

Guests rave about the gorgeous countryside views, immaculately clean rooms, and the hotel’s friendly, helpful staff. Many mention the peaceful vibe, making it a perfect break after the buzz of a concert. The food also gets high marks, especially the hearty breakfasts and beautifully prepared dinners.

Areas for Improvement

If you're looking for all-night room service or a lively party scene, this might not be your spot. Some guests noted limited public transport options late at night, so pre-booking a taxi back from a venue is smart. Also, being in a historic building, the rooms can vary in size.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after a quiet, classy place to unwind after a concert—without sacrificing comfort or convenience—The Maynard hits all the right notes.

Fair - 2.5 out of 5

Brilliant location, slightly neglectful staff.

Liked: Terrific location.
Disliked: The room was so hot, even at night, even with both fans blowing full blast. I had trouble sleeping both nights because of the heat. Some of the staff was very nice, but some were a little prickly and dismissive. For breakfast, I sat at a table for 15 minutes while multiple staff walked by me several times, noticing me, but without speaking or offering to take my order. Multiple other guests who arrived after me were seated & served immediately. I eventually had to flag down someone to request a coffee, and was told to wait a minute, because she was serving another table. It was just a strange start to the morning.

Lovely hotel and staff, evening...

Liked: Really friendly helpful staff. Nice room, well equipped and clean. Great location for walking. Good value B&B.
Disliked: Evening meal just average. Food quality did not merit high price. Steak full of gristle and most not eaten (steak price was reduced by 50% as a result which was a good gesture) fish portion very small as were accompanying vegetables.

fabulous spot to stay in...

Liked: Beautifully decorated and appointed room, the bed was huge and very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were fabulous, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: The only thing to make it better would have been some fresh milk in the room to really enjoy the tea and coffee provided

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

John Sat, 5 July 2025

Disappointing

Liked: The location is greatThe staff were great
Disliked: The toilet wouldn't flush. We had to go downstairs to use the toilet.I had 2 meals there. In both cases, I ordered a beer that never came. Both times, it was sat on the bar, and I had to fetch it myself.I was charged for meals and drinks that I hadn't had. The receptionist was unable to remove them from the bill. I asked to see the manager, but she wasn't there. I asked for the manager to email me. She didn't.My order for breakfast was incorrect.Every time that housekeeping came in, they switched on all the lights and the radio. (Who knows why they would just throw away electricity).The wardrobe was filled with various machinery, so we had to remove it so that we could hang up our clothes.There were only 3 coathangers.
