I had mixed feelings about my stay at The Devonshire Arms. The beautiful surroundings next to Bolton Abbey and the picturesque countryside made for a lovely escape. However, the lack of cleanliness in the rooms and the disappointing customer service during our dining experience cast a shadow over what could have been a perfect getaway. I appreciate the effort to accommodate our dog, but the execution fell short, making us feel unwelcome. Overall, while there were positive aspects, the negatives were quite significant.

The hotel welcomes both guests and pets alike, creating a warm and friendly environment. The communal areas are inviting and well-maintained, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the room I stayed in fell a bit short in terms of luxury and comfort, particularly with the absence of air conditioning during warmer weather. Dining experiences were mixed, with high-quality food overshadowed by some pricing surprises and service delays at breakfast.
