Great place to relax. Mick and Jenny
Our stay was excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Only have one comment, the breakfast could have been a little bit hotter. The Devonshire Arms is in a beautiful part off Skipton with brilliant walks around. We would recommend to all. We would go again if only to try out the spa.

We recently stayed for one night following a wedding reception in one of the private rooms. The hotel itself was charming, with log fires burning and many cosy places to sit and relax in. The staff were superb from the moment we arrived, coming out to see if we needed help with our bags and during the reception they were extremely attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Our dinner in the evening was delicious and the preparation of the dining room for the wedding was faultless. We had such an enjoyable time that we’ve already planned to go back next year to celebrate the first wedding anniversary.

Enjoyed the surrounding area -the views from our bedroom were lovely. Food was excellent . Staff friendly. What we didn’t like was our bedroom door was left unlocked after staff had been in. We discovered this upon returning to our room and not having to use our key to open the door

Underwhelming
Stayed for 2 nights for a family event. The bed was lumpy and too soft, the old shoddy mattress too short and the pillows practically non-existent. The room was classed by the hotel as a Deluxe Double. Premier Inn rooms are bigger. The service very slow. At £259 per night I would expect far better.

A comfortable hotel
Slow service in the Brasserie. Reception staff were excellent. Some bedroom furniture needs attention. Decorations were impressive in the hotel. Bar service area often left unattended for too long. In conclusion, very comfortable but room for improvement.

We really enjoyed our stay the only small point is that the leisure centre is separate often a problem with the older hotels . We live in Leeds and this area is one of our favourite locations.

Styled by The (late) Duchess of Devonshire.
Gorgeous location within walk of a most beautiful river walk and ancient Priory. Dinner in Burlington restaurant was lovely, breakfast ditto. Excellent service. The Devonshire Arms is a true classic.
