The Devonshire Fell, The Conservatory

We booked the Christmas Afternoon Tea and decided to go to The Devonshire Arms Hotel, instead of our usual Betty’s as we found it to be overpriced and overhyped - purely living on their reputation and name. Well, I’m so glad we did choose TDAH! The Afternoon Tea was divine - very filling, set in lovely grounds and the service was excellent; extremely attentive. The only criticism (and it is constructive) is instead of four sweet treats, we as a group thought that they should offer more sandwiches - the ratio was slightly off. All in all, a great experience, very sweet and we will return next year. It was a pleasure to dine with them.

The Devonshire Arms, where to start. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. We had booked the “twilight spa experience” as the venue is only a 40 minute drive from home it looked like the perfect Friday evening treat. It was £50pp, which when you learn what that covers is incredible value for money. We got welcomed and served throughout our spa experience by a lovely lady who couldn’t have been more helpful, her etiquette was sublime. The spa was very well kept in a beautiful barn conversion. After an incredible 3 hour spa experience, we then sat down for an included two course dinner. It was a set menu, yet the options were fantastic, I had the fish and chips and my partner the ravioli; all of the food was phenomenal. The entire property is beautiful and we shall definitely be returning for a full stay!

Spent a lovely Sunday night here celebrating my wife's Birthday. The suites really are delightful. The Hotel is excellent for dogs, dog walking and the staff really friendly. only let down by "tired" decoration and food was very average !
