My wife and I stayed for lunch, dinner and overnight at the Devonshire Arms last week. We had one of the cottage rooms opposite the main house. It was clean and well stocked, and no complaints except for the noise from the people staying upstairs. You can hear every step and voice, so bear in mind if staying in a... More

We booked this one night break the day before, and I knew it would be good when the girl taking the booking did a lot of switching about to accommodate a family of 5. The rooms were converted workers cottages or almshouses (not sure which). We had two rooms, one of which would have slept 4. The rooms were delightfully... More

I visited with a party of fourteen people on a Friday lunchtime. We pre-ordered and arrived late but everything was organised and the service was excellent despite the restaurant being busy. The food was first class including the hearty soup starter the seafood platter and the haddock. We were also given a privatise area for our group which was very... More

Ate there mid week with friends- 6 in total.The Devonshire is in a lovely village and its interior is what you would expect of an old place- classy decoration/furnishing. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and shown to a large table in a lovely sun lit room. our drinks order was taken immediately while we looked over the... More

We used to be frequent visitors although its a good hour from home but it was always worth the distance until suddenly it went seriously downhill. We therefore hadn't been for a year or so then decided yesterday to give it another go and see whether it had gone back to its high standing. Unfortunately not, but this time not... More

We have just returned from our 2 week stay in a rental cottage in Beeley and ate at the Devonshire Arms four times. Previous years the service has been disappointing, food a bit "samey" and the staff a little unfriendly, which is a real shame as it is not cheap - but this time it is much improved. The staff...

We stayed for a couple of nights on a walking visit to Derbyshire. We had a lovely peaceful, clean room on the top floor of the adjacent building with beautiful views. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom quite large with bath/shower, robes, the hospitality tray had some delicious filter coffee and biscuits plus a selection of teas and hot chocolate.... More

We stayed two nights in a room in Dove cottage just across the road from the Devonshire Arms. It was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, spacious and thoughtfully had local guide books, books to read and DVD's to watch. That bed was really comfortable, we had a great range of teas and ground coffee for a cafetiere, which we have never... More
