Staff were lovely when I was trying to get into the hotel at 1am after they locked the doors. I wasn't aware of this happening.

Great hotel in good location in the town centre. The staff were very welcoming and the check in was very straight forward. The room was very comfortable and breakfast was freshly cooked to order.

Location and the friendliness of Diana was lovely.
Breakfast was disappointing - we were offered an egg but otherwise it was cereal - choice of weetabix or Frosties ! So so toast but nice marmalade and jam. Cafetière coffee weak.

Breakfast outstandingly tasty, room very clean and well- equipped, dinner excellent and plenty of choice, Staff friendly and helpful, also honest and intelligent - I left my bandbag in the restaurant and they tracked me down to return it. We would very definitely book there again if heading towards that area.

Quirky little shops and little alleyways to explore.
The canals are a nice place to walk and everything is in walking distance.
Plenty of parking available.

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.
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.)
We had a lovely room at the back of the Hotel overlooking the Church. The Bath was wonderful after a long day of cycling. Secure overnight storage for our bikes. After an evening stroll around Devizes we decided to eat at the Hotel and it was the right decision. Very tasty Chicken Kiev and Chicken&Cheese Burger.
A hearty Breakfast the next morning kept us going for the first few hours of our cycle ride.
The Staff were very friendly and chatty.
We would definitely stay here again.
As soon as you enter The Pelican you feel welcome. The landlady is amazing remembered our drinks from our only prior visit a month ago.
We were shown to our room, it was spacious, comfortable and everything worked as it was meant to . We were given excellent recommendations for food. We were warned there was karaoke on that night ( which we didn't hear).
Absolute gem of a find, superbly located. We are already trying to find an excuse to go back to Devizes.
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.
Location excellent, very central to town centre. Evening meal and breakfast was excellent as well. Due to un-foreseen circumstances our daughter and partner were unable to travel and stay at the last minute and we were unable to cancel their booking but the hotel did discount back half of the room cost as a gesture of goodwill. Very much appreciated as they didn't have to do this. Would thoroughly recommend.
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.
I bought this stay at the hotel as a last-minute birthday present for a friend who hadn't been able to find accommodation in the area for an event she was going to. She was incredibly happy with the stay and said it was clean, spacious and staff provided excellent service. I was a bit apprehensive as it was literally the only room left in Devizes, so thrilled to discover that it was a good choice!
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.
We had a wonderful stay at the Black Swan - the historic aspect of the building gave it all the more character, renovated bathrooms and carefully curated furnishings/amenities in the rooms made for an exceptionally comfortable stay. We had both dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and both were fabulous!
The landlady Natalie gave us a very warm welcome on arrival. The room was spotlessly clean and modern, and although central to Devizes it was exceptionally quiet. Long term car parking was available nearby and overall we could not have been happier with our experience at The Pelican.
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.
The Bear Hotel is a venerable old pile, full of character. The staff friendly and helpful and the food excellent. We found the room spacious with good facilities. A great place to base yourself for visits in the area.
The hotel was perfect for Devizes and the surrounding area.
Phil and his staff are lovely and really helpful.
The rooms are beautiful and the bed is the one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in.
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.
