    Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa
    Expedia Verified Review…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    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.
