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!

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.

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
