Beautiful interesting building. Good quality finish that felt luxurious throughout. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was really comfortable and well thought out. Fridge in room so could have fresh milk and they supply decent sized mugs with good quality tea and coffee.

The hosts were very generous, letting us shower in their house when the hot water wasn't working in the barn (this isn't normally an issue!) homemade bread and jam and a coffee machine in the barn for breakfast, such a lovely touch! And a great location, very close to the Ridgeway for cycling/hiking. A good stop for those cycling the King Alfred's Way

Stopped a couple of days in Devizes on our way to Wales. Great market town with lots of food and water holes. The White Bear is a buzzing little pub, with friendly customers and attentive hosts. Will return again, when hopefully the weather is nicer to us!

Lovely Georgian town with many original buildings. The Caen Locks of historic interest and good to walk alongside. A good cafe at the top of the locks.
We ate at an Indian Restaurant opposite the Castle Hotel; excellent food.

I like Wadworth beer and as the brewery is here there was plenty of opportunity to go beer drinking. All the pubs we tried were interesting and friendly and the beer was well kept in all of them.
We had a good walk along the canal to see the long flight of locks and there were interesting shops in the town. We liked the tea shop in the Ginnal and the bakery for sourdough bread. Everyone we met was friendly.

Devizes looks a little bit rundown.
Devizes looks a little bit rundown. Beautiful buildings are not restored and kept at their best which is a great pity. One popular eating place had filthy windows with bird excrement on them which reflects a lack of pride and cleanliness of the people who own or rent out these buildings. A lot more money needs to be invested in Devizes if it is to attract people. It would be a shame to let this historic town go to complete ruin. People should take pride in their heritage and at the very least clean their shop front, shop windows and paint the façades.
However, Devizes is better than Crewkerne and Chard.

Devizes is far too reticent about its charms.
Devizes is far too reticent about its charms. It is a lovely small market town in the heart of some glorious countryside. It is packed with history and adjacent to the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal (especially the astonishing engineering feat of the Caen Hill Lock Flight, 30 mins' walk from the town centre). The town has many traditional pubs, and shops are quirky and individual rather than the standard chain stores you can find anywhere. (But don't come for a shopping experience.)

Devizes is the most beautiful Wiltshire market town , full of architectural delights . The flight of 29 locks on the canal is an engineering wonder ! Devizes has wonderful countryside walks nearby including Roundway Hill and Drews Pond . There are good independent shops , a plethora of charity shops and a good variety of pubs , restaurants and cafes . Recommend The Black Swan , The New Society Cafe (great cake !) and Reeves the bakers .
The hotel was easy to find although parking in Devizes was a bit of a challenge. The room was on the top floor which involved climbing some quite steep staircases, but it is an old building so is what we expected. The room was very clean and comfortable, with my wife commenting that the bed was the most comfortable she had slept in. Breakfast was served in the restaurant and was excellent. All cooked to order and the full English lived up to expectations. All in all, a lovely short break stay!
The Little House is in a central location in Devizes. Ideal for a couple or individual and, in our opinion, much nicer than staying in a hotel. It was spotlessly clean and very well appointed - everything had been thought of. A useful welcome pack with all the necessary items for breakfast was provided, along with WiFi, charging points, a smart TV, hairdryer, well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and contemporary shower room.
The host is absolutely lovely, so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was phenomenal, you get a choice of breakfast each morning to be made fresh and it was delicious, I already miss the pancakes. The rooms are sweet and have everything you need. The farm is beautiful. It is a 20 minute drive from a number of places you can visit for example Stonehenge and Lacock Abbey. We’ll definitely stay again if we are in the area.
By far the best hotel in Devizes: the staff were unbelievably welcoming, as if I were a family member. Nothing was too much trouble.
Food was excellent - the service exceptional. Despite the bar being very busy on one night due to a local event - the staff still had time to make sure everything was ok, even delivering food to my room as there weren't any tables spare. Will only be staying here in future.
Hosts were lovely. We had a powercut and they were quick to keep us informed about what was going on and it was quickly sorted out. Breakfast was delicious, fresh and filling. Rooms were amazingly clear and the rooms were beautifully designed. We live in Devizes but stayed here on our wedding night. The hotel is in a great place, right in the centre of town by all the pubs, shops and amenities.
It had everything you could possibly need and with the hot weather they had a fan ready and waiting.
I know the area well , so can state that it's in a very good location. I was doing a charity walk so was particularly tired after walking in the heat all day, the apartment was perfect and had everything I needed.I extended my stay for another night. Can't wait to stay again.
Location perfect as in middle of Devizes yet quiet and tranquil. Free parking also a bonus. Bedding was high quality, bathroom spotless and recently refurbished. Breakfast, chosen from list the night before, was supplied to room in hamper which we ate in courtyard, lovely.
Friendly obliging staff, nothing was too much trouble, made us feel extremely welcome.
Breakfast was excellent, coffee and tea during breakfast plentiful.
Room extremely clean and tidy, bed very comfortable.
When we return to Devizes we will definitely stay here.
Loved the setting, felt very tucked away and private with lovely views, yet minutes away from the centre of Devizes. Great location.
Caroline is a wonderful host and she makes a very impressive breakfast.
I'm sure I'll be back at some point.
The hotel is full of history & original feature’s making it a very interesting building. It is very comfortable, welcoming & the staff are very friendly, it’s in a fantastic location, right in the heart of the market square in Devizes.
The location & the history of the hotel , the breakfast was fabulous and although the rooms were slightly shabby chic the bedroom was very comfortable and clean.
Staff as always are helpful and friendly..

Acceptional breakfast everything tasty and nicely cooked. Service good with a smile. Bedroom large and very comfy bed. Large, modern ensuite shower room. Really cant fault the hotel in any way.
Very convenient for our purpose prior to narrow boat trip. Nice view of street and city center. The meal was fantastic, best meal of entire stay in England. Great staff and host, very helpful.
The rooms were lovely. Loved the second floor outside patio. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The breakfast was one of the best we've come across at a uk hotel!
