The Devonshire Arms Hotel at Bolton Abbey

Location next to Bolton Abbey

Hotel advertised as dog friendly but it is not really. Cannot eat in the hotel unless dog is left in your room or at reception.

I love this hotel it’s so relaxing with beautiful scenery. The staff are wonderful so friendly and helpful ! Food incredible ! Walk around Bolton Abbey amazing ! Devonshire spa so lovely !

The only negatives were the bed head in our room had faded quite a bit and there were a few bits that the dog found under bedside table so not cleaned 100 per cent ! We didn’t like the wall paper in the Brasserie .

The beautiful entrance with the fire burning in the hallway just lovely!

This hotel is relaxed from the moment you enter polite and caring staff dog friendly too!

Lovely room with quality towels, bed linen etc. Public areas good other than the Brasserie. All staff pleasant and helpful. Very good breakfasts.

2 evening meals, one in Brasserie and one in Garden room were astonishingly poor. Poor menu choices followed by worse food.

Lovely property; lovely grounds. Staff broadly nice and helpful.

decorative was a bad weirdly modernist given the beautiful setting and building; dinner was at the upper end of average (again not for the price being charged) and breakfast was exceedingly poor - you get better quality at Premier Inn. If you’re going to market yourself as high end hotel, make sure the quality matches the price and aspiration.

A very relaxing atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. The open fire at the entrance provided a very welcoming start to our stay.

Quality of food was very good. Staff were super friendly, polite and efficient. We enjoyed the setting and the peaceful nature of the hotel. Loved having all the fires lit and cozy corners to sit in (especially the dog room). The Spa and the Spa manager was excellent. The gentleman on reception when we checked in and checked out was very efficient and helpful.

Minor point, but maybe some areas were a little bit dated although we could see things were being done to improve.

Beautiful location and buildings . Very comfortable rural vibe . Super dog friendly . Outstanding staff .

The gym / spa needs better female showers

Breakfast was delicious and a treat to be able to mix and match what we ate. The sausages were particularly good. Lovely room to eat in.Exceptional service at reception - the gentleman who looked after us (sorry for not remembering his name!) helped us plug in our electric car and we charged overnight for FREE - what a great service! And when I left my watch in the spa he went and got it and brought it to our room. Amazing walk to the Abbey at dusk. Very cosy in our rooms - nice touch giving us free flapjacks. Loved the Yorkshire tea bags.

Dinner was good but a bit cold and quite small portions. Quite a soul-less dining room, not very cosy or atmospheric. Disappointed to see calories on the menu as I was with my daughter who has an eating disorder so choosing food instantly becomes challenging.

The location and views. The attentiveness of some of the staff. The food - we had our evening meal in the Brasserie, then breakfast in the Garden Room. The ambience of the whole place. The spa facilities.

Nothing to add here.

What a wonderful location!Room very comfortable and staff very friendly Service for both dinner and breakfast excellent, perhaps slightly slower than some, but really friendly and attentive.Overall highly commended.

Nothing. I guess parking could be a little problematic but we didn’t have a problem.

Location, food, friendly staff

The staff. The comfort. The bed. The log fires. The spa. The food. The welcome. The location. The walks.

Nothing. It was amazing

Nice atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good wine list at reasonable prices.

Disappointing food.

Food at dinner was good. Service from the barman was excellent.Staff in the spa were very helpful.

Waiting 55 minutes for breakfast and then being told the chef was just going to prepare our order. People who arrived after us had all been served.Interior is very tired and all needs refreshing. There was black mold on all the window frames in our bedroom.

Beautiful location, good facilities, friendly and helpful staff, excellent food.

The room was very small for the price, the bathroom was a closet!

Amazing location. Lovely public rooms. Nice staff.

The bedroom was really small. The bathroom was tired and the grouting around the bath had seen better days and didn’t look very clean. Didn’t like the window between the toilet / bathroom and the bedroom. There were shutters but found it a bit bizarre.

Location is great for walking

The restaurant wasn’t amazing, staff not trained properly and it’s dropped off at the end of hotel. We ordered a chateaubriand for our first year anniversary dinner and it wasn’t anything special. Would be better in the breakfast areas as it’s more cosy and would suit evening meals better. Also very casual, not what we were expecting.

The location and the look of the property were lovely.

The breakfast was not great in terms of execution. Looked better than tasted. Staff very attentive but forgot items.

Wonderful weekend away for the wedding. Beautiful hotel. Very comfortable room, delicious breakfast and dinner at the Brasserie, fantastic bar with Laslo's bespoke coctails. Very attentive and kind staff. All of that in the stunning Yorkshire Dales setting. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to stay there again.
