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.
