The Devonshire Arms Hotel

Dales country house where dogs get reserved tables at dinner

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A coaching inn turned country house hotel and spa on the Duke of Devonshire's Bolton Abbey Estate in Wharfedale. It suits walkers who want a proper dinner at the end of the day without leaving the dog upstairs. Dogs are welcome in the lounges, and both the Garden Room and the Brasserie keep a small number of dog-friendly tables you can reserve. There's a four-poster dog bed to hire if you want to make a point.

Dogs are welcome in the hotel lounges, where a light lunch menu is served daily. The Garden Room and The Brasserie each hold a few dog-friendly tables that must be booked ahead. Dogs stay on a lead in public areas and aren't allowed in or around the spa.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
