Reviews for The Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa

Great - and the tasting menu was the highlight!

Reviewed 1 week ago

I had been wanting to stay here for years - and wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere is warm, staff really friendly - and we loved the Christmas decorations. The gym is small, but had all the equipment we needed. The spa is also small, but pleasant, and the guest limit well-managed. The room was simple, but clean and well equipped (ginger biscuits on the coffee tray were fantastic). The absolute highlight was the food! We had the tasting menu (with some adjustments as requested) with a wine paring - amazing! The staff were great and the meal and wine absolutely delicious. Great value for money and a really high standard all round.

Surcharge 15%

My wife and I had an overnight stay here, expectations were high. Wonderful location, an open fire greeted us in reception and the first impression was good, a dog friendly country inn. Our room was okay, thought the decor was a little unusual. Couldn't fault the cleanliness, although unfortunately the bed and pillows were a bit too soft for our liking, so didn't get the best night's sleep. Our 60 min complimentary visit to the Spa, was very enjoyable. A very nice experience. We enjoyed some drinks and food in the restaurant, which we thought to be expensive for what it was ( £10 for a slice of ginger cake with a scoop of ice cream). Breakfast the next morning was of good quality. However, what a pity they found the need to add a 15% surcharge on our whole bill.

A luxurious stay marred by disappointing post-stay service

We recently stayed at the Devonshire Arms, having enjoyed stays at other Devonshire hotels on multiple occasions over many years. The hotel itself is faultless—it exudes a homely yet classy vibe, offering a truly luxurious experience. The staff were exceptionally helpful and courteous, making my wife and me feel warmly welcomed and well cared for. Although we didn’t dine in the restaurant in the evening, we did have breakfast the following morning, which was outstanding. Everything was freshly prepared to order and of excellent quality, with service that was both prompt and attentive. Unfortunately, despite these positives, I am compelled to give this review one star. Upon leaving the hotel, I inadvertently left my coat in the wardrobe of our room. This was a special and expensive gift from my wife. Later that day, after realizing my mistake, I called the hotel to report it, expecting it would have been found by the housekeeping team. However, I was told they couldn’t locate the coat, nor had it been recovered from the room. I followed up with an email and provided a photograph my wife had taken of me wearing the coat outside the hotel the previous evening. Despite this, the hotel maintained they were unable to find it. While I fully accept that it was my mistake to leave the coat behind, I was deeply distressed by the inability to recover it. Given that the coat would undoubtedly have been found by housekeeping, this raises serious concerns about honesty and accountability among staff. Although I have previously been a loyal guest of the Devonshire hotel chain and have enjoyed many wonderful stays, this experience has left me questioning whether I would choose to return in the future.

The best thing about this hotel is that you are waited on hand and foot. In a era of self-service it was lovely to have old-fashioned service with smiling people waiting on us hand and foot. Sitting in the lounge for afternoon tea or pre-dinner drinks we only had to look round to be asked for what we wanted. At breakfast everything was brought to us - no jumping up and down for juice or coffee. The rooms and the restaurant are also fabulous and the food in both the conservatory and the bistro are excellent. Worth splashing out a treat here.
