Nestled in the heart of the stunning Peak District and just a stone's throw from Chatsworth House, The Devonshire Arms has long been a favourite among locals and travellers alike. Our reviews page brings together the voices of guests who have joined us for a meal, a glass of wine, or an overnight stay in one of our beautifully appointed rooms. Time and again, visitors remark on the warm welcome they receive from our wonderful team, and the way a simple evening here feels like a proper escape from the everyday madness of modern life.
Honest, fresh, local produce sits at the centre of everything we serve, and our guests often mention the quality of the food in their feedback. From leisurely lunches to celebratory dinners, the kitchen works hard to ensure every plate reflects the very best of the surrounding countryside. Alongside the menu, our extensive drinks list offers something to suit every taste, and many reviewers note how the relaxed, friendly atmosphere makes a visit feel unhurried and genuinely enjoyable, whether they are popping in for a quick drink or settling in for the whole afternoon.
We are proud to be a country pub with rooms, and much of our feedback celebrates the newly redecorated accommodation available to overnight guests. Reviewers frequently describe waking up to the peaceful sights and sounds of Baslow before heading out to explore the nearby trails and stately homes. Dogs are very much part of the family here, and we love hearing from guests whose four-legged friends were made just as welcome as their human companions. These thoughtful comments remind us why we opened our doors in the first place: to offer genuine hospitality in a beautiful corner of the world.
We read every piece of feedback with care, and it shapes the way we run the pub day after day. Whether a guest has praised the service, suggested an improvement, or simply shared a happy memory of their time with us, we take it all on board. If you have visited The Devonshire Arms recently, we would be delighted to hear about your experience. And if you have not yet made the trip, we hope the words of our guests encourage you to book a table, pull up a chair, and see for yourself what makes this country inn so special.
Guest Feedback
From a relaxed lunch in the bar to a weekend stay in one of our en-suite rooms, we love hearing from everyone who walks through our doors. Here are some kind words from recent guests.
Beautiful rooms, fantastic food, and such a warm welcome. The location is perfect for exploring the Peak District and Chatsworth — we'll definitely be back.
Hands down the best Sunday roast we've had in Derbyshire. Everything tasted fresh and the service was spot on. Our dog was made just as welcome as we were.
Our room was individually styled and so comfortable. Waking up to the Peak District views, then heading down for a proper breakfast — just lovely.
The restaurant menu had plenty of choice and everything we ordered was beautifully presented. The wine list is extensive and the team really know their stuff.
So refreshing to find a pub that genuinely welcomes dogs — not just tolerates them. Our spaniel had the best time, and so did we. The £20 charge for overnight stays is very reasonable.
Stayed here for a weekend while visiting Chatsworth House. The pub is a stone's throw away and the whole experience was faultless — from check-in to checkout.
