An extraordinarily welcoming North Yorkshire country house hotel
The Devonshire Arms Hotel is an extraordinarily welcoming country house hotel set among the rolling acres of the Duke of Devonshire's Bolton Abbey Estate, just a few miles outside Skipton, North Yorkshire. Part of the outstanding Bolton Abbey Escapes collection that falls under Estate Escapes, it's quite a grand sort of place – of course it is, given that the other Devonshire family seat is Chatsworth (where you'll find a selection of fabulous properties under Chatsworth Escapes). The hotel isn't stuffy or even particularly formal, and with only 40 individually designed rooms and suites, there's a genuinely familiar welcome backed up by some highly polished service. Located in a brilliant North Yorkshire location, with the Great Outdoors right on your doorstep, and dogs welcome too, the whole thing's a treat and can't be faulted.
The Devonshire's array of portraits, antiques and mementoes keep the ducal connection very much in mind. This place exudes luxury and comfort, with great facilities, including an excellent restaurant and a spa with gym, state-of-the-art vitality pool and other relaxation-inducing facilities. Guest rooms vary in size and aspect, but most have lovely rural views, and those situated in the original 18th-century part of the hotel (the 'Old Wing') have ornate four-poster beds. Even the lowest room category – 'Cosy', housed in the 'New Wing' – comes with king-size beds, lots of space for seating, mini fridges, complimentary water, tea and coffee, welcome treats and more. All rooms have good WiFi, Freeview TVs and en-suite bathrooms with Noble Isle toiletries. 'Comfortable', 'Spacious' and 'Splendid' rooms sometimes have super-king-size beds and a bath as well as walk-in shower, plus they are more spacious and have better views, while the hotel's suites, situated on the ground floor of the New Wing, all have large four-posters and separate sitting rooms and predictably glorious views. Throughout, there's a keen sense of modern country style and classy little extras: umbrellas at the door, hot chocolate delivered to your room at night – or, at the other end of the scale, the hotel's own helipad out on the lawn.
Don't forget, all guests have complimentary access to the Devonshire's spa, housed in a separate building. Treatments can be booked and there's a gym, sauna, steam room, Rasul chamber, indoor vitality pool, and they're building a natural outdoor pool. Eating and drinking are as relaxed or posh as you want them to be. There's a lovely cocktail lounge available for a beverage or two, a bright and contemporary brasserie serving lunch and dinner, not to mention a dog-friendly bar. For a more upscale option, the newly reimagined Garden Room restaurant looks out onto the hotel's courtyard garden and the stunning estate beyond. Enjoy a delicious summer seafood tasting menu, afternoon tea or seasonal a la carte options, with ingredients grown fresh in the estate's kitchen garden and all underscored by an award-winning wine list.
