The Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa - Skipton

Stayed on a Sunday evening in a deluxe double. The check in was quick and very friendly, our bags were taken to our room very discreetly with no fuss. The room was beautiful, it did look onto the road but also looked onto the river. I used the free spa access and was really happy with the relaxing atmosphere and it wasn’t too busy. The hotel decor is so well thought out and the grounds are beautiful. Breakfast was first class with excellent service. I think this hotel has got everything just right and the staff really make this hotel what it is.

Visited today for afternoon tea and everything was fresh and delicious, the polenta chip was a real winner. We brought some desserts home to eat later as we were full up of amazing food. We were looked after so well by Danni who clearly loves her job and a fantastic advertisement for the Devonshire Arms.

We have just had a beautiful afternoon at the Devonshire Arms Hotel. Nothing was to much trouble, and Danni took good care of us. The food was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. We then left our car in the car park and went for a wonderful walk to Bolton Abbey by the river. Even on a rainy day it was wonderful.

Went for a 2 day break we had been in 2019 it was lovely then but this time totally brilliant, we had a meal in the Brasserie and looked after by Rafal and Harry (18th birthday)food was beautiful, in the Spa which we should of used it more Duncan was so helpful, reception young lady and gentleman were very helpful and professional we couldn’t of asked for better service. The hotel is total value for money beautiful like we remembered in a perfect location we were given a free car park voucher for Bolton Abbey lots of walks around the grounds lovely in winter but must be fantastic in summer. For a lovely break the hotel has stunning lounges and one for dogs to sit with you, restaurants are very well looked after.

Visit with friends on 23rd March as a treat However most disappointing evening meal very poor Ordered lamb got two minute lamb chops also ordered steak minute portion and not cooked as requested and left Worst meal had for a long time regular visitor to other chats worth hotels which we love Made a comment but staff not interested in the restaurant or in the following morning on reception Filled in the questionnaire sent about visit and did not have the decency to reply Dreadful service Room ok location excellent What has happened to this magnificent hotel when can’t even bother to contact or deal with a complaint Breakfast was fine not exceptional

Beautiful place and set within stunning Bolton Abbey area. Staff are very engaging and helped tremendously with my vegan diet needs. Couldn't do enough! Well worth a visit for food. Didn't visit for hotel or spa experience but the whole place looked idyllic!

Excellent service, friendly and efficient staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Great food in the Brasserie. The Spa experience is wonderful too, very relaxing. I didn’t have any treatments this time but I have previously and they were fabulous.

Had many a stay here,the room was lovely.One has to get used to the endless"musak"which seems to permeate the whole place.Had supper at the brasserie,at least fish and chips are a safe option.The cheesboard consisted of 3 minute slices of different cheeses which would barely satisfy an emaciated mouse,and at £14 was quite ridiculous.The beer had a 50%mark up on pub prices.The wines on show on the walk through area are quite impressive,Angelus.Latour,Haut Brion,Margaux,in their wooden boxes.I wonder what the mark up would be on these?Enjoyed our stay,even though self service at breakfast has disappeared.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, nice little touches. We stayed a few nights and we both had a good nights sleep. We love the cosy feel of the place, with the fireplaces and the cosy furniture sit in the bar for a drink and to wind down after a long day. We ate in the brasserie one night, food was ok for the price. We also ate in the Burlington on the other night and the food was good as was the service. Breakfast was nice but our only criticism of our stay was that the service was slow and poor at breakfast. Tables were stacked with dirty pots and no one seemed to be clearing them and it took ages for someone to come and take our breakfast order, despite there being many people eating. Breakfast staff seemed to be very much on a ‘go slow’ and not really taking much notice of what needed to be attended to. Seemed to be a lot of breakfast staff on but no one actually seemed to be doing a great deal! We had to ask for our breakfast table to be set properly as serviettes, cutlery and jam missing. Thankfully we were not in a rush at breakfast as it seemed to take ages. All in all though we still love this place with the beautiful scenery and walks on the doorstep and will not stop us returning to enjoy the surroundings for a welcome break
