The Devonshire Arms Hotel | Hotel in Skipton, England

“Great hotel and amazing setting.”

“Excellent staff and Brasserie. Public areas could do with a refresh in some areas. Pillows need replacing. Breakfast excellent. Staff very helpful with suggestions of walks etc in the area.”

“Booked for parents to celebrate fathers 80th. Accomadated a last minute change to more accessible room and late afternoon food. They both really enjoyed stay and could not say enough about quality of staffing and overall experience!”

“Excellent location, service and all round quality.”

“A real mix. Food in the Brasserie was outstanding, breakfast was reasonable, the bar is lovely, the building and location are superb, breakfast and restaurant staff lovely. But it's unusual to find an upmarket hotel where the reception staff are more interested in the tip than in being friendly, and can't relate the two. Front of house staff at other high-end hotels usually smile or say hello when guests walk in. Not at the Devonshire Arms. WiFi not connecting on my laptop? "Try standing in the corridor." What's this £30 extra on my bill? "It's service charge, it's in the Ts & Cs," delivered with a challenging, sour look. Clearly the twee tweed waistcoats don't represent luxury service or even politeness. Otherwise it's rather nice.”

“6 people stayed in our group. Disappointing that we were charged £25 per couple for early check-in. Even as it was only 30 minutes before normal check in. Reception was not up to speed with our bookings as we had pre-paid for everything but when we checked out they got mixed up and printed bill for full amount. Until we very politely informed them. Also whilst good range of breakfast delights very slow service”

“The room was tidy and clean, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful when we arrived early and placed our case in the room when if was ready. My wife really enjoyed the spa which is located a short walk across the road from the hotel. We would have preferred an self service open buffet style continental breakfast”

“Lovely stay but breakfast was a bit slow and mixed up order.”

“Excellent hotel in a beautiful location. Friendly and helpful staff.”

“A beautiful stay in a beautiful location. The spa treatment I had was the best I've ever had! My only niggles were the 2 hour wait for breakfast without any explanation or apology and the Cocktail lounge was more like a waiting room. Maybe move the newspapers to the smaller lounges as 'reading rooms'?”
