Reviews for The Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa
A Superb short break !
My wife and myself have stayed at the Devonshire arms Hotel and spa at Bolton Abbey on a number of occasions. I have to say our recent visit has been outstanding. We were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left everywhere from the reception to the Spa, Restaurant the bars et cetera not forgetting the breakfast room it was an absolute breath of fresh air. Service excellent , food superb and it goes without saying the location the rooms and the building itself are exceptional. Thanks once again to all staff we will definitely be back.

It’s become an annual tradition..and what a lovely treat.
We’ve just arrived home from another lovely stay at the Devonshire Arms. It’s become an annual tradition, and we always really look forward to it. We ate at ‘The Fell’ on one night, and the Dev Arms the second. Both evenings were lovely experiences, with fabulous, friendly service and delicious food. We made use of the spa facilities, which are very relaxing. On our last visit, Jane Clarke took us on an absolutely fabulous 11 mile estate tour, which really added to our trip, and she is really knowledgeable and great at sharing that knowledge. On this occasion, we had other family members with us, so did the walk straight out of the front door of the hotel up to the Strid, along the river. Such a lovely way to spend a day! The staff were friendly, and helpful both at breakfast and in the Brasserie. We’re looking forward to a return visit some time soon!

Great place to relax excellent staff
We had a relaxing few days staying at the Devonshire. We found all the staff were really pleasant, helpful and attentive. Our room was very good. The food and service in the restaurants was good standard, we found the breakfast and service of a very high standard. The Spa was good and the staff in spa were very helpful and friendly. We decided to take the walking tour that was offered one day which we all found most enjoyable.

A wonderful stay from start to finish!
From the moment we arrived, the reception team set the tone with a genuinely warm welcome. They were friendly, professional, and answered every question with ease, which immediately made us feel at home. The room itself was beautiful — spacious, spotless, and with exceptional views that made the stay feel extra special. Everything we needed was provided, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. We dined in the brasserie and the food was excellent, with great gluten‑free options too. The service throughout was outstanding; attentive without being intrusive. The only improvement that could be made is to the atmosphere, maybe some dimmer lighting and candles would set a more relaxed, dining atmosphere. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive, with staff who truly couldn’t do enough for us. The spa is on the smaller side, with limited seating and compact sauna/steam rooms, but it was clean, calm, and had a lovely atmosphere. I booked a 60‑minute massage and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The therapist was knowledgeable and the treatment was exceptional. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning. It was a fantastic experience in every way.
