A lovely very old wonky hotel. Don't expect flash, high end, new stuff. But character and old world charm. Just what we like. Once, it would have been the place to be for a weekend ballroom dance. It's big, grand, a labyrinth of door ways and buildings. Interesting and they've most things you need. Lovely staff too. Food good.

The property was set in a quiet location next to a family home. The owners were extremely accommodating and helpful. The interior of the property was spacious and very beautifully decorated with everything you would need for a short stay. Ideal for a couple. The welcome milk and biscuits were a lovely gesture. A great base and a lovely property.

Really nice old town, some nice coffee shops and cafes.
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.)
Booked a night at the Castle Hotel to attend a work related function in Devizes. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff, the whole building was immaculately clean and the room was well equipped with good quality furnishings. Our stay was rounded off with an excellent breakfast. The hotel is in a central location, was easy to find and near to public parking. Would not hesitate to stay again if accomodation was needed again in the Devizes area.
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.
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 history of the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and genuine. The fact that there were at least three separate functions on demonstrates the reputation the venue has locally. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and the waitress couldn't have been bettered with her attitude and attention to detail
The quintessential B and B! Gorgeous setting and exquisite house. Rooms are comfy and sparking clean. The breakfast is a gourmand’s delight. And the hosts are lovely, funny, and helpful. I actually teared up when I left. Of all of the b and bs that I stayed in in my life, this was the best.
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 location of the hotel is excellent, right in the centre of Devizes.
The restaurant was fabulous, service and food was great and we had a lovely table.
We stayed in the Bridal Suite and it was honestly the best night's sleep I have had in a long time.
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.
This is a really lovely hotel with cosy, clean rooms and lovely food. The breakfast was amazing! The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the hotel is right in the centre of Devizes so the location couldn't be better.

breakfast was also really good great choices and fresh
location was brilliant not far from the town centre
the staff were very welcoming and smart and polite
nothing was to much trouble
Super friendly hosts. Accommodation was in a great location, clean comfortable and with one or two lovely touches e.g. the chairs decorated in Tunnocks wrappers! We wouldn't hesitate to stay her again if visiting Devizes.
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.
Interesting historic hotel. Nice quiet clean single room and bathroom. Delicious breakfast that was almost perfect.
Very pleasant spacious bar area with plenty of tables.
