Cute, cosy, friendly and accessible!
Pros:

Perfect location, very close to chatsworth house just across the street from the bus stop. Lovely friendly staff and restaurant/bar attached. Cosy, clean room.

Cons:

The walls are very thin so you can hear everyone walking around but it’s a very old building and the bar was pretty quite so no real issue. Would still highly recommend! :)

Lovely hotel and friendly staff but let down by slow restaurant service and limited breakfast
Pros:

Lovely room, great location and helpful reception staff.

Cons:

Very slow restaurant service and not enough choice for breakfast - would like choice of breads, cereals, cheese, fruit, seeds etc alongside cooked breakfast.

Good location for hiking
Pros:

Great location for overnight stopover during hiking over a couple fo days. Staff are friendly. Tea and coffee provided in the room.

Cons:

Room - The shower pressure was very low and bathroom bit dated.
We had dinner book it was set to a time that cannot be changed by 15mins even though resturant was empty. Pre book breakfast and can only choose one item. Also had to select a timeslot which was odd as again was empty. The timeslots did not make sense.
The room is overpriced.

Exceptional value.
Pros:

There was a handwritten welcome note waiting for me in the room, along with a bottle of complimentary brandy. An exceptional touch.
The wonderfully kind keepers left me a wonderful breakfast bag as well since I mentioned I had to leave quite early.
The bathroom was well sanitized and toilet seat wrapped. The tea and biscuit set was also very well stocked. Had a nice room which faced the brook and was incredibly calm and private. Couldn’t be happier for the value.
You’re also just a short walk from the pedestrian entrance into Chatsworth Park if you fancy a stroll to see some deer, after the tourists have gone.

The room was quite small with little storage space. Staff were competent and friendly. Food good.
Pros:

The food we had a t breakfast and for dinner was good.

Cons:

The arrangement for breakfast was to order and submit by 9pm the night before. There was no fruit or cereal option and I would have preferred a buffet breakfast as I don't know what I fancy for breakfast the night before.

Would have been perfect if it was £125 a night
Pros:

The bar and the hotel staff were exceptional, couldn't fault them.

Cons:

poor decoration, needs new carpets, terrible plumbing to the radiator, booked breakfast for 9:40am served it at 10.05am. But, a wonderful bar I loved how dog friendly they are and the staff were brilliant but it's definitely not worth £225 a night. Other members of my family stayed at the Cavendish Hotel and although that was £375 a night whilst visiting the hotel, I can see why. The Devonshire arms is £100 a night overcharged.

Clean, good location, unstaffed.
Pros:

Location good , clean.

Cons:

Unstaffed, no staff present at check in or check out, reception not manned, had to go into pub to find staff to help. When eating staff member asked if wanted dessert - walked off 20 minutes later still no return... and never returned, so left.
Paid extra for dog, no dog care items in room, had to request.
