Had a fantastic half day with afternoon tea yesterday for my birthday, wow, what a lovely spa, theraputic warm pool which we really appreciated for back pain, clean, good changing facilities and showers, friendly staff, a totally relaxing experience.

We'd planned to pop into The Devonshire Arms after a walk at Bolton Abbesy, but as luck would have it, we happened upon it on our walk and it made a perfect stop off. Every staff contact we had was excellent, professional, friendly, and unpretentious. As we were with our dog we chose the dog friendly brasserie which was beautiful and bright, busy but not too busy. Food was great, cocktails delicious and the grounds were as good as the interiors. Would love to return and highly recommend.

Wonderful hotel. I have stayed here many times with family & friends since 2012 & I just love the hotel. It majors in understated elegance, nothing flashy or gimmicky. Great location, good rooms, decor so classy, food has definitely improved this year - but the main asset of the Dev is its staff. They are well trained, efficient, alert & keen to help. So many one could single out but John in the Garden Room is one of many delightful workers. Veronica on reception brilliant. And the (largely) Polish contingent n housekeeping is magnificent.

We had a wonderful three night stay here. The rooms are a good size and very comfortable. The food is well prepared and delicious and its number one asset is the quality of the staff who are all professional, friendly and helpful. Situated in beautiful countryside with great level walks to Bolton Priory or if you want you can get up onto the hills. The hotel has a clean and well run spa with treatments, pool, steam room and sauna. The thing that surprised us was that the hotel has activities each morning and we signed up for the tour of the estate with Jane. It was fantastic to spend time with somebody who knows so much about the local area, the estate and food heritage in the region. Highly recommend taking this tour when you visit.
