The staff here are incredibly helpful and friendly. The food was gorgeous. We did several walks from our front door and proximity to the farm shop is a major bonus. The bed was so comfortable and we slept really well. I’ll be back soon!

Needs updating for warm summers

The staff are very nice and it’s a clean place to stay. The BIG issue is our room was extremely warm on a day that hit at most 24 Celsius. We had to take turns sleeping in the car as our baby couldn’t stand it, and nor could we. A small table fan was provided, which wasn’t nearly enough. Ideally the room would have a window fan to get cool evening air in so people can sleep. AC may be needed as English summers keep getting warmer, but maybe that isn’t possible in this building…

Devonshire Arms, our favorite…

Wonderful stay at Devonshire Arms as we traveled through the UK. This was our favorite hotel during our trip and our favorite meal. The room was cute and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to visit again.

I would absolutely come back to the Devonshire Arms. The room was cozy and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the overall feel was just wonderful. My sister and I were able to walk over to the Chatsworth House and take a bus into Bakewell for some shopping. I'll be recommending the Devonshire Arms to anyone and everyone. Thank you for a wonderful time!
