“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.”
