Hotels In Grindleford Grindleford is a picturesque village of sylvan beauty. Straggling up from beside the river, the houses seem to get more exclusive the higher they get this is a select residential area where mansions and large villas nestle amongst the trees on the edge of the moors and at the entrance to the glorious Hope Valley.
Hotels in Grindleford are few and far between literally. To the east of the River Derwent which divides the only two hotels in Grindleford stands The Maynard Arms. Built of gritstone with mullioned and transomed windows, it is a very impressive impersonation of a 17th century Derbyshire Hall.
On the west of the Derwent, beside the Hathersage road stands the Sir William Hotel with black and white timbered gables more reminiscent of the villas and large detached houses which sprung up around Grindleford at the turn of the last century.
There is not much to choose between these two fine hotels in Grindleford. Both offer sumptuous accommodation, fine wines, delectable dinner menus and a function room for special occasions.
In the 19th century, Grindleford comprised of a cluster of cottages near a bridge over the river and a junction of turnpike roads heading across the moors to Sheffield, down the valley to Calver or upstream to Hathersage . Then the railway broke through and opened up the Hope Valley to tourists and commuters. At 3 miles and 950 yards in length, the Totley tunnel is the second longest inland railway tunnel in Britain. Visitors could now flock to the valley by rail but surprisingly the only hotels in Grindleford to cater for them were the The Maynard Arms and Sir William Hotel. Could it be that they had all purchased away day returns?
Your stay at one of the hotels in Grindleford will provide you with an open door and the freedom to roam up onto the Longshaw Estate and the glacially formed Edges which run down the eastern flank of the Peak District like a roughly hewn spine and then across high moors with Access rights.
Should your stay at a hotel in Grindleford be arranged for July, you may also wish to take part in the annual Pilgrimage to the Padley Martyrs in 1588 Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlam who were Catholic priests operating secretly in an upstairs chapel in the gatehouse of nearby Padley Hall were captured then taken to Derby where they were hung, drawn and quartered a grisly tale, but not to be forgotten.
Hotels in Grindleford may be limited to a delightful duo, but their facilities and welcome are certainly not restricted
