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.

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.)
I am extremely pleased with my stay here. There was one extra kid in the family room, usually the hotels will be fuzzy, but The Bear Hotel (Devizes) were very friendly, they gave me extra little bed and extra pillows&sheets. No questions asked. The hotel was very clean and we had everything we needed. The lady who worked in the Breakfast area was very kind and polite despite single handedly serving 12 tables. She calmly listened to our requests, and politely responded.
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.
Very friendly staff..most helpful. There was nothing overly fancy about the hotel, but there were no claims to that and the very reasonable price reflected such. Good Breakfast which was requested the prior evening and so a place was set accordingly and coffee ready immediately...very efficient The hotel is located perfectly for the centre of Devizes.
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.
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.
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..
Small but very comfortable room, excellent heating, shower spotlessly clean and working perfectly. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Perfect location on the Market Square in the centre of 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.
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.
Modern refit of old town centre hotel beautifully done breakfast was varied and good we ate in the restaurant and there was a good choice of wine and food that catered for all tastes
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!
