The Devonshire Arms

No breakfast provided but available at tea rooms next door.

Nothing really but they had forgotten to leave us milk and it was Sunday so everything was closed

Breakfast not available at the time we left

Soundproofing was not great but this an old building and it didn’t impinge on our stay.

The bathroom. Much money has been spent on a refurbishment. The floor of the shower was grim. I didn't use the shower. The last thing I wanted was a verruca. All that money spent in refurbishment, and the bonus was mould round the window frames.

This wasn’t the fault of the place as everything was lovely but we had extremely noisy neighbours who were enthusiastically either on honeymoon or an extremely romantic weekend the noise travels through the walls snd was quite off putting both most of the night and the following morning so maybe ear plugs would be useful .

We arrived around 16.30, had to wait a few mins due to lack of staff. Once checked in we were told food had already stopped being served on the Sunday and wouldn't be serving drinks after 19.00; due to a private function (not mentioned on their website or via any communication through booking.com)

The whole point of choosing this pub with accommodation was so we could celebrate our wedding anniversary, enjoy food/drink and not have to drive anywhere.

We had no option but to look at decent alternatives for dinner which involved a 1.5 mile drive to The Manifold Inn, Hulme End, (they serve Sunday roasts that are delicious: wish we had stayed there instead).

The Room:- Spiders/cobwebs/dust throughout the bedroom and bathroom.
Showergel dispenser - totally empty.
Dodgy hairdyer plug coming apart and out of date Pat Test.

Light fitting loose/hanging out of the ceiling.
Paper thin walls between other bedrooms - banging doors, hear neighbouring conversations, noisy bathroom extractor fan from room 1.

Nearby church bells ring every hour for whichever number it represents so yes 12 at midnight!

Due to summer heat, we had to have our window open. Unfortunately for us, it was bin day the Monday morning we left ... we were treated to loud, sweary bin men collecting The Tea Room's bin as our room overlooked it.

We left feeling exhausted and disappointed. If it wasn't for the Manifold Inn rescuing our evening meal, our anniversary would have been ruined.
At check out, there was no obvious staff around (as they don't serve breakfast) so simply had to leave the room key on a table.
Won't be returning and we don't recommend staying. Had we known food wouldn't be served we would never have kept the booking. Shocking communication on the side of the Devonshire Arms.

Nothing to dislike

All of the good things about the place were let down by the absolute lack of cleanliness. There was a lot of black mould in the bathroom - all over the shower head, the shower screen hinge and the corners of the bath. There was accumulated dirt in the bath as if it hadn’t been cleaned at all. The area around and behind the loo was also really gross. There was dust all over the room, for example, the corners of the bathroom floor, top of the side tables and lamps. There were cobwebs in all of the corners of the ceiling. Overall the room felt like it had not been cleaned which made both my partner and myself feel like we didn’t want to touch anything.

N/A

The steep stairs,.. difficult for older people
The chicken schnitzel we both had was appalling
The proprietor a little too sarcastic.
Advertised car park....there wasn't one, it was the road.
We eventually ate in the excellent hotel over the road
Shower over bath...no walk in shower

It was further from Buxton then we thought, however this turned out to be a bonus.
