Reviews for The Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa
West Yorkshire Gem
We had a great nights stay at The Dev. It is the definition of cosy with open fires in comfy lounges. Rosie was great when adding amenities prior to my arrival. The spa facilities & staff were so nice. All very clean and accessible. We were roomed by a gent from reception, I didn’t catch his name. He was very professional and was able to help with any questions. Thanks to Sophie & her team in the Brasserie, the food & wine was delicious. We could have easily extended our stay. Would recommend.

Our stay at The Devonshire Arms was exceptional.
Our stay at The Devonshire Arms was exceptional. Everything was as near perfect as it could be. The positivity, professionalism and passion of ALL the staff we encountered was a credit to the group. From check in to departure we could not find fault with any single aspect. When we booked we baulked at the americanisation of tipping in advance but on reflection found it to be a sensible solution to a complex situation. We had not realised that guided tours were on offer and had planned our day around exploring independently so when the opportunity to be taken around the estate by Jane presented itself we snapped it up. To find out we were the only ones only added to what we both described as a thoroughly entertaining and informative three hours. Jane typified all that was good about your hotel. Her friendliness, passion, depth of knowledge and positivity were a delight and certainly the highlight of the trip. Well done management and staff of the Devonshire Arms Hotel and Spa

We were extremely disappointed with the level of service and disgusted at finding traces of dog poo in our room on the carpet. Definitely not worth what you pay for the room and will not be staying here again. I would not recommend this hotel to any of my friends and there are definitely much nicer places to stay in Yorkshire.

A weekend treat
Beautiful place with outstanding food and the spa was a real treat. Rooms and surroundings are perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed the taster menu. We only had one criticism and that was the size of the wine pairings. The wine was matched perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed it but the amount given for £69 per person (as we opted for the additional course) was tiny. Enjoyed several wine pairings previously but we found this to be the smallest yet. Other than that a perfect weekend treat.

Great - and the tasting menu was the highlight!
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.
