There are so many things to like about the Devonshire Arms -- glorious walks, incredibly dog friendly, friendly staff, and great base to explore the Dales. But, all in all, we were disappointed with our three-night stay, and won't be returning. We thought the decor was a bit tired (we stayed in Room 37, which was lowest priced "Classic"), the service at the bar was slow and dirty tables weren't cleaned up, and the food was fine but not brilliant at the Brasserie. We didn't eat the Burlington Restaurant (except for breakfast, where the food was good but the service was slow) or use the spa. Maybe they would have added some panache to an otherwise middling visit.
