“This former hunting lodge, overlooking the village green, is an intimate stay for food and nature lovers. Rooms are contemporary and light offering en suite bathrooms. The restaurant prides itself on using only the finest produce and a menu revolving around this, matched with a well-stocked bar.”

Hotel review

On the outside the Devonshire Arms looks like a quiet country pub (in fact a Grade-II listed former hunting lodge) in a plain village; inside, though, it’s an upmarket bistro style restaurant with rooms above: some may feel that in this case the juxtaposition is an uneasy one, both in the restaurant, with its new bar, leather chairs and sturdy wooden tables, and in the six bedrooms, with a mix of old fittings and attractive new furniture. They are, however, spacious, with unusual bathrooms and look out over the village green. In the summer months you can eat in the attractive courtyard or walled garden.

The Devonshire Arms

"Great, our room overlooks the green. Swiftly we take in the modern four-poster, towering mullioned windows and tea and coffee things fanned out on a bamboo dish resting on a generous windowsill."

The Devonshire Arms

"Step inside and there are flagstone floors, flickering church candles and battered leather sofas by a crackling log fire."
