Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often highlight the spacious rooms at the Devonshire Hotel, many featuring high ceilings and comfortable beds, and some rooms have a kettle with tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel provides good value for money and boasts an outdoor pool and on-site private parking. It's conveniently located just a short walk from downtown and about 5 minutes on foot from the sailing club, although some guests mention that the return walk involves a rather steep hill; a bus service is available right outside the hotel. While generally well-maintained, some past guests have observed that the hotel is somewhat dated and could benefit from updates.
