A real mix. Food in the Brasserie was outstanding, breakfast was reasonable, the bar is lovely, the building and location are superb, breakfast and restaurant staff lovely. But it's unusual to find an upmarket hotel where the reception staff are more interested in the tip than in being friendly, and can't relate the two. Front of house staff at other high-end hotels usually smile or say hello when guests walk in. Not at the Devonshire Arms. WiFi not connecting on my laptop? "Try standing in the corridor." What's this £30 extra on my bill? "It's service charge, it's in the Ts & Cs," delivered with a challenging, sour look. Clearly the twee tweed waistcoats don't represent luxury service or even politeness. Otherwise it's rather nice.
