The Devonshire Arms, a gorgeous pub in a beautiful village, is highly praised for its spacious and elegant rooms, many of which feature seating areas and great bathrooms. Guests appreciate the provision of tea, coffee, and even a fridge in some rooms, alongside comfortable beds and ample storage. While the advertised continental breakfast has sometimes not matched expectations, the hotel's location near good walks, rail trails for cycling, and a village supermarket enhances its appeal; the bar also has a fab atmosphere.

tastefully decorated room friendly staff very good food continental breakfast missing breakfast abrupt owner
The room was beautifully decorated and included everything I wanted. The staff were very friendly and helpful, so that I felt welcomed. I also ate in the restaurant, and the food was very good.
I received emails stating continental breakfast was included, but I was told breakfast would be delivered to the room between 8.30 and 9am, and it never arrived. During checkout, the owner very abruptly told us breakfast was not included. I feel that the email should have included the correct information. I felt a little disappointed, which cast a shadow on the morning I was leaving.
