Disappointing breakfastā¦. Very small choice of fresh fruit⦠2 piecesā¦sliced bread only so no choice of artisan breads.
Smashed avocado was not smashed avocado but green sludge!
Did not wish to complain since staff were working hard and doing their best under clearly difficult circumstances.
Did not have evening meal.
My friend and I only stayed here for a single night so we could visit Chatsworth House and we kept talking afterward about how we wished we had stayed at least another day because this inn was absolutely wonderful!
The room we had was so adorable and lovely, plus they had complimentary snacks and refreshments for us! We arrived earlier than the check-in time and the staff was super lovely about holding our bags for us so we could go visit Chatsworth while waiting for our room to be ready. Even better, when we got back, the staff had already carried our luggage all the way up to our room for us! Seriously, such a nice staff!
We definitely hope to visit again just so we can spend more time at the Devonshire Arms!
Lovely hotel. The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful and made our stay extra special. Super comfy beds. Little extra touches in the bedroom like a free night time tipple. Fresh milk in little bottles. Nice biscuits, lovely toiletries. Great breakfast.
Me and my partner arrived at the hotel on a Sunday afternoon to spend a few nights away to see Chatsworth. We did struggle to get parked anywhere on the site upon arrival due to people visiting the hotel for Sunday dinners. We were advised there was a car park we could pay at further down, even though we were staying for a few nights and expected to get parked on the premises. I definitely think people who are staying at the hotel should get priority parking. Thankfully we were heading out that night and came back to plenty of spaces. Managed to get checked in after asking a waitress where to go as there wasnāt a reception desk to go to. The room was clean and bed was very comfortable. We were asked if it was okay if a maintenance guy could come into our room to look at something under the carpet, which wasnāt too much of an issue and he was quick but he did leave loads of carpet fibres about the floor. Felt sorry for the staff as they knew it was bad timing but was the only time they could book him before Christmas. Breakfast some mornings was incredibly slow I have to say. We were always booked in for 8.40am for breakfast and one morning our cooked breakfast didnāt arrive till 9.30. Rooms could do with an update interior wise but nonetheless got a good nights sleep. The bar and dining area are incredibly cosy and well decorated, quite quiet at times. Overall had a nice stay, I do think the room is slightly pricey, it was nice we had breakfast included in the price.
Choose to stay here as it was close to Chatsworth. Accommodation is 3 stars at best. Could not close one of windows and heating not on when we arrived. Floor creaking in bedroom. Room significantly overpriced for what it was. Service in the bar was like something out of Faulty Towers meal came out black and charred which I sent back but didnāt think to replace vegetables which were by then stone cold and hubby had finished his meal. We were told to add meal to the room initially but were then told to pay up now by a surly bar man. I booked this trip as part of a birthday trip which was more disappointing. Breakfast team were more friendly and professional but by that time the damage had been done.
This was a last minute and incredibly lucky find. One of the most gorgeous inns Iāve stayed in and the staff are simply delightful. In particular Emily and Havana took fabulous care of us- Mandy and her team are running a great place from cosy drinks in the bar, great food and service in the restaurant and fantastic overnight accommodation. Highly recommend for a stop over (like us) or a long weekend.
Just needed a spot of luxury after a heavy weekend. This fitted the bill to a tee. Very comfortable, and welcoming, with excellent food and pleasant service.
The only possible complaint would be that the room was a bit cramped, but that happens in older buildings.
Such a welcoming place. Staff are very efficient and so friendly and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere in the bar, with a good food menu, with well presented, tasty meals.
The room was quite basic but equipped with everything you need and lots of lovely touches that made it feel home from home.
Breakfast was plentiful, lots of choice.
Good location to get around and lovely walks on the Chatsworth estate close by.
Totally enjoyed our stay.
