The Devonshire Arms

Excellent friendly staff . Good value

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

Overpriced and disappointing 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.

Excellent hotel with excellent staff

1st trip to The Devonshire Arms. 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.
