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'?

The room is lovely. The evening meal was great but breakfast took so long that we had to leave without eating.
They also sent me an invoice via email for the cost of the bed and breakfast even tough it was paid in full when I booked the stay weeks before

Great stay and love the spa after a fantastic walk on the estate. Food was good but not as good as our previous visit. Reception staff were excellent but gave up on the cocktail lounge as no one seemed to be available to serve us: didn't spoil our stay but would have been nice. Room fantastic as always.

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!

Upmarket stay
Excellent stay, although not a cheap option. Dog friendly, with fantastic grounds, however, not enough bins.
Excellent staff throughout. Most food was excellent, disappointed though with seafood platter.

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.
