“The Devonshire Arms stands out for its access to the southern Dales and the Bolton Abbey Estate; I found its dog-friendly policy particularly notable, extending even to tailored menus. The wellness focus, enhanced by an adult-only spa, makes it ideal for relaxing after exploring the countryside, though some may find the decor a touch eclectic. Ultimately, it's a place that balances historical charm with modern luxury.”
