A real mix. Food in the Brasserie was outstanding, breakfast was reasonable, the bar is lovely, the building and location are superb, breakfast and restaurant staff lovely. But it's unusual to find an upmarket hotel where the reception staff are more interested in the tip than in being friendly, and can't relate the two. Front of house staff at other high-end hotels usually smile or say hello when guests walk in. Not at the Devonshire Arms. WiFi not connecting on my laptop? \"Try standing in the corridor.\" What's this £30 extra on my bill? \"It's service charge, it's in the Ts & Cs,\" delivered with a challenging, sour look. Clearly the twee tweed waistcoats don't represent luxury service or even politeness. Otherwise it's rather nice.

6 people stayed in our group. Disappointing that we were charged £25 per couple for early check-in. Even as it was only 30 minutes before normal check in. Reception was not up to speed with our bookings as we had pre-paid for everything but when we checked out they got mixed up and printed bill for full amount. Until we very politely informed them. Also whilst good range of breakfast delights very slow service

The room was tidy and clean, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful when we arrived early and placed our case in the room when if was ready. My wife really enjoyed the spa which is located a short walk across the road from the hotel. We would have preferred an self service open buffet style continental breakfast

A beautiful stay in a beautiful location. The spa treatment I had was the best I've ever had!
My only niggles were the 2 hour wait for breakfast without any explanation or apology and the Cocktail lounge was more like a waiting room. Maybe move the newspapers to the smaller lounges as 'reading rooms'?

Stayed here a few times 10+ years ago and we decided to come back for a nostalgic trip

Still an amazing location bud sadly has gone a little downhill or maybe other hotels have upped the game since

Rooms could do with renovating, food was good but pricey and breakfast was a bit average too sadly to what it was when it had a fine dining restaurant

Lost the magic touch it used to have of accommodating staff too, it was mid week so maybe the key people were off that day

We didn't have a dog this time but I imagine if you do it makes it a more appealing hotel

The attention to detail is so lovely. Everyone was really helpful and we enjoyed the food, the surroundings and the spa.
A really beautiful getaway. The female members of staff had to put up with a pretty misogynistic guest while we were there (which we witnessed at breakfast) and they kept their cool and handled his rudeness with grace and patience. A lot of friendly professionals work here and you can see they put love into their work!

We had a wonderful 35th wedding anniversary weekend at The Devonshire Arms Hotel. The staff were fantastic in the hotel and at the Spa, always polite, welcoming and professional. The room was lovely and we much appreciated the kind gift and card to start our anniversary weekend celebrations. We had a delicious three course evening meal in the Brasserie. The Spa was perfect for us both and we used it quite extensively during our stay. The walk along the river from the hotel to Bolton Abbey and through the woods to The Cavendish Pavilion made our weekend.

Allot to like about this property. It is in some of most beautiful country there is and you can walk in any direction and it is breathtakingly beautiful..but 5 star it is not. Internet is sparse and could be fixed with 2 words.. star link. The garden in the courtyard is nice but needs some groundwork. If you don't book for dinner.even if you are staying there chances are your not getting to have it..rooms are cosy which means you are tripping into the bed two steps in. For those who know 5 star I would say as they do.. it is the country..and I guess 5 star in the country is different from 5 star in any of the cities
