Convenient for Chatsworth and Haddon. Takes dogs.
Pros:

The Devonshire Arms is very close to both Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, which probably explains the room rates, on the high side for the category. Presumably quite a smart place when it was built in the local Peak District style, it has a faintly neglected feel, with incoherent interior design choices and odd pieces of furniture cluttering underused spaces between the pub and dinings areas and the rooms. The restaurant offers fairly standard English pub-type cooking and a decent cooked breakfast. Pets are accepted and there's parking at the rear. It is, of course, very convenient for visiting the two houses, and adequate for that.

Cons:

Could do with a thorough, but no doubt costly, revamp.

Lovely accommodation & ideal location
Pros:

It felt more like a hotel than a pub/restaurant & the terrace on the front where you could sit out & relax

Cons:

Arrangement of having to go downstairs to a fridge to fetch milk to put in coffee as left in the room ( there were no landing or sensor lights come on when one of us did have to go downstairs early to fetch it )
Coffee with breakfast was instant coffee put into a Burco boiler for self service which was really just coloured water-as there are only 11 bedrooms , surely individual pots of tea/coffee could be delivered to a small number of tables

Pros:

Absolutely great stay. Arranged the breakfast time on check-in and next morning hot delish breakfast was served within minutes when we came down.
The room was clean, super comfy beds. Stayed for one night, absolutely loved it.
Had lunch in the pub too, the food is really really good and stuff super nice.

Pros:

The room was fantastic! Nice and cosy. The staff was attentive and friendly. There was everything we needed in this room, and even more: we took a bath and enjoyed welcome drinks. The breakfast was also excellent. We would gladly return to this hotel during our next visit to Chatsworth House.

Overall very enjoyable. Would stay again if in the area.
Pros:

Little details added to comfort of room. Hot chocolate, fresh milk, port. Room was very small but as advertised and was comfortable. Breakfast was ok, not exceptional but tasty. Service was good. Dinner was perfectly adequate and good value for money. Bar was nice, well stocked and service was excellent and very friendly.

Cons:

Landing carpet was very stained. Decor was ok but jaded. Coffee at breakfast was not great and very little choice of cereal. Bread not great and toaster very very slow. Long wait for toast and there were only 6 couples in for breakfast at the same time as us. Pre ordered cooked breakfast was good with a good choice.

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay with good food and friendly staff.
Pros:

Traditional pub environment, nice bar area. We ate in the bar and it was a nice touch to light the fire to take the chill out of the air and create a nice atmosphere.

Cons:

Some of the common areas were lacklustre and tired.

Not realising its full potential.
Pros:

Good location for Chatsworth. Food choices and quality very good. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast. The reception staff and restaurant staff very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

Wonderful location but the rooms were a little tired. Service in the restaurant and bar was a little slow and if it was my business I would want the bar staff to be on it a little quicker when preparing and serving drinks particularly when you are waiting for drinks with a meal. Wasn’t happy when we were residents and were told the bar was shutting at 10.30pm on a Saturday night and then feeling rushed as they needed to lock up the bar area.

Pros:

Locanda molto bella e comoda per visitare Chatsworth, infatti in soli 15 minuti di camminata in un paesaggio verde e tranquillo si arriva alla tenuta. I letti sono molto comodi e anche il cibo è buono
