Tankersley Manor

Submitted by stuart on Tue, 2010-08-10 10:23

Tankersley Manor began life as a 17th century manor house that surpasses itself on the quaintness and charm front, with its stone windowsills and original oak beams. The award winning grounds are the epitome of a countryside idyll and the spectacular scenery of the Peaks and the Dales that waits on the doorstep is equally stunning. The rooms are little havens of loveliness tucked into the original manor and a sensitively designed extension.

But the thing that really takes you out of the day to day and puts you in a different time zone is the hospitality; something Yorkshire folks are very proud of. The welcoming attitude has a very calming effect, leaving you relaxed, full of smiles and ready to slow down and squeeze the most out of every minute here. If that doesn’t do it, then a trip to the spa certainly will.

Peak District hotel and restaurant, The Maynard, was refurbished in March 2008 to become one of the best independent hotels in the Peak District. The building dates back over 100 years and during the refurbishment we have tried to respect this heritage whilst at the same time bringing the accommodation up to 21st century contemporary standards.

The Peak District views from the garden, restaurant and bedrooms are stunning, and may leave you wondering if you’re miles from civilisation. Fortunately, as well as benefiting from a beautiful and tranquil location, The Maynard is very well located for visitor's from the outside world; The Maynard is only 13 minutes from Sheffield by train (you can hop off at Grindleford station a couple of hundred yards from our door), and within easy reach of the M1 and A57 Snake Pass by car.
