Overview

Set within 30,000 acres of stunning grounds on the Bolton Abbey estate, the dog-friendly Devonshire Arms Hotel in Yorkshire is superbly located at the gateway to the picturesque Yorkshire Dales. A former 17th-century coaching inn, the hotel is incredibly dog-friendly. Guests and their furry family members will love exploring the miles of footpaths winding through the National Park, with countless walks beginning right on the doorstep. The charming 'Old Wing' dates back to 1757, with the 'Wharfedale Wing' added in 1981 by the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire. For those seeking ultimate relaxation, the fabulous spa features a sauna, steam room, pool, and Rasul. A range of treatments is available, and the spa is decorated with artwork from the Chatsworth's Devonshire Collection, one of the finest private art collections in Europe. Guests and their four-legged family members are welcome to enjoy the ever-popular afternoon tea and the cosy lounge bar. The Garden Room restaurant is a light, relaxed space where guests can also enjoy flavourful, seasonal food overlooking the hotel garden and the estate beyond.

The Garden Room's chefs have a reputation for creating innovative dishes that reflect the local area and seasons, using ingredients harvested from the hotel's own kitchen garden. During the summer months, the Garden Room also serves a seasonal afternoon tea in the Italian garden. Wherever possible, ingredients are sourced from the hotel's own kitchen garden. For those arriving or departing by helicopter, please contact the team in advance to make the necessary arrangements.

VD, Kent, stayed: April 2026

If you like old, dated, and dogs even in the one restaurant open in the evening then this hotel will work for you, but not us. Our room was spacious but dated and there were several maintenance issues. Staff were pleasant. 5% service charge added to bills.
