The Devonshire Arms

Great staff, food really goos and comfortable room

Lovely hotel very close to Chatsworth for the Christmas market

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 wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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.

Property tired and in need of refurb. Bed and pillows awful

A comfortable room with everything we needed. We had a lovely meal in the on site restaurant, great food and very friendly staff.

Great stay, awesome staff, fabulous food.

A really lovely stay. Really helpful and friendly staff.

Excellent hotel with excellent staff

This was a last minute and incredibly lucky find. One of the most gorgeous inns I’ve 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.

Great hotel with friendly helpful staff and superb restaurant

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.

Enjoyed our stay the staff are all lovely making us and our dog most welcome .food was all lovely too will definitely go back

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.

Rachel at check in was most helpful and friendly.

Great stay. Friendly, helpful staff.

The 4 poster bed was comfortable and it was nice that there was a fridge downstairs for fresh milk. But it was quite expensive for the facilities. The staff were friendly, but service was patchy in the restaurant. The breakfast was nice, but the food in the restaurant was very unimaginative, especially for vegetarians. The atea was very pretty.

Property is a little tired and very creaky floors but staff is very nice and food and drink was good.

Great location. Beautiful surroundings. Enjoyed the holiday. Would go back.

Friendly staff. Homely room. Mixed dining experiences.
