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.

Beautiful hotel and location but...

Liked: Beautiful building and location. Garden area also lovely.
Disliked: Some of the staff were unfriendly bordering on rude. Would welcome more cocktail options- bar staff only able to serve drinks offered in menu. More choice at breakfast- some continental as well as the cooked option.

Disliked: The wall next to the window in my room was a bit tired and paint had come off making it look a bit shabby tbh, just need a touch up, also the duvet cover was ripped at both ends at the head end and the du et kept poking out, was also shabby really

Bad

Liked: I requested a change of date which the Maynard agreed. But between thehotel and booking.com the date wasn't change with both parties blaming the other. So I paid for a stay which didnt actually happen.

We really enjoyed our stay...

Liked: The continental breakfast was lovely!! The staff were excellent. The rooms were all delightful. The views were beautiful from several rooms. The beds were very comfortable and large.
Disliked: There was a problem with the shower in my daughter's room. The water wasn't draining away and would have overflowed. She came to our room to shower as she was a bridesmaid and needed to be looking good. Somewhat disappointing for her. When l moved rooms to 'Jeanne' the shower was electric and extremely hard to regulate the temperature. I could stand under it. Very poor flow too. Again disappointing. The room were gorgeous to be in though.
