Surrounded by Derbyshire countryside, The Maynard is a 19-bedroom hotel with a dog friendly bar and a restaurant boasting spectacular views over Hope Valley.

The refurbishment focused on reducing acoustic noise in the large, split level dining area, modernising the design and ensuring the history of the venue and the personality of the owner shined through. The eclectic choice of artwork, notably featuring smartly dressed animals, is a quirky feature inspired by the clients love of animals.

A purpose-built, emerald green partition wall breaks up the dining area, adds a new secluded dining space but most importantly, its stunning yet serves a practical, noise reducing purpose. Its frame holds 3, one of a kind, stained glass windows believed to date back to the 19th Century. These windows were sourced from an independent supplier in Portsmouth to suit the exact requirements of The Maynard’s style.

Bespoke elements continue throughout the restaurant; bronze effect gantry’s and a collection of beautiful, sound-absorbing furniture such as cosy fixed seating, padded chairs, large wall hangings and plenty of thick fabric accessories.

The views from the restaurant over the large garden and rolling hills of the Peak District landscape are breath-taking. New timber reveals around the windows are a fresh take on a traditional design feature which has been used to frame the view in a picturesque way.

The Maynard showcases many daring interior design choices which come together to create an incredible restaurant and bar with a warm welcoming feel and heaps of personality.
