The Devonshire Arms

Hanging rail in bedroom above drinks station, only one comfy chair in a double room

Although very clean the rooms are very dated. Very squeaky floor boards which isn't ideal when trying not to wake my partner. Window latch broken, it actually came off in my hand when I opened the window. I think a little work is required to bring it upto date a little.

Surfaces were dusty and the entrance got the dinning room seemed to be a storage room.

Reception was empty on arrival - having found the receptionist, our welcome was very grumpy. Staff in the restaurant made multiple mistakes, my wine was taken to the wrong table, wrong sizes of drinks were delivered. The fire alarm went off early morning and no apology was made to customers.
There is no flexibility to breakfast, you have to order a time slot and what you want to eat. Then when you are in the restaurant, apart from a hot drink, you have nothing until your food arrives. You can make your own toast but you don’t really want that when you are waiting for a full plate.
It’s a shame - with training and motivation, this could be a good place.

Seating outside. A lounge to relax in. Overall in need of a little facelift,

Breakfast

The coffee at breakfast was undrinkable!

Breakfasts were okay but the self-service buffet left a bit to be desired as no cereals or fruit on offer. There was toast and fruit juices, coffees and teas. Also only streaky bacon with the full English.

La noia que hi havia a la tarda a recepció no era gaire amable ni estava gaire disposada a explicar res.
El llit doble era molt petit (135cm aprox.) per a 2 persones. Només hi havia 1 tauleta de nit i 1 làmpada.
Els filtres de l'aire del wc estaven plens de pols.
Una de les finestres no tancava del tot bé.

Our room looked over the kitchen and bins. There was no noise disruption though

Room was pokey and tired, lobby outside room absolutely stunk. Smelled like old hoover bags and was horrible.

Wifi was not great.

The size of the bedroom was a little on the small.

My partner's cooked breakfast was good but the coffee from the urn was undrinkable. There was only one option if you didn't have a cooked breakfast - granola, yoghurt and fruit. There was no choice of other cereals. I also didn't like having to choose an exact time for breakfast as well as what I was going to eat the night before. The first breakfast was slow coming despite arriving in our time slot. My overall feeling was that the hotel was very expensive for what it provided.

Resented the way, just as I was enjoying a one-to-one drink with a mate of mine from school, whom I hadn't met for 40+ years, we were told the till had closed (at 10pm) and, shortly afterwards, the bar was closing.

The hot drinks at breakfast were not hot they were tepid and not enjoyable, whether I had wires crossed a thought a doggy bag was to be put in the room for our fur baby.

We missed having yogurt, cereal, and fruit at breakfast.
