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.

The hosts were very attentive and made our stay. The home made sourdough for breakfast was incredible. We were staying for a wedding and she offered to drop us off and pick us up, which saved us getting a taxi.

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.
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.
Beautiful little B&B located in the center of Devizes within walking distance to lots of pubs, restaurants and shops. Our room was immaculately clean and beautifully appointed. Pretty much the most comfortable bed and pillows we have ever had in a B&B. The breakfast hamper was delicious and thoughtfully put together. Wonderful accommodation for a very reasonable cost. We would definitely stay here again.
The hotel is very convenient for Devizes' town centre. The rooms have obviously been 'done up' and are in good condition and scrupulously clean. I thought the staff were very helpful and pleasant at all times. Breakfast was good. The hotel also provides food at other mealtimes and there is a bar. I would be happy to go there 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.
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.
Bar service was excellent and the breakfast was good. Having a car park was the decider in choosing The Bear. The building is old and has clearly been added to over the years, giving lots of character to the hotel.
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.
An excellent apartment for 2 people. Comfortable bed, cooking facilities and decor. Very handy for Devizes town centre, the Kennet and Avon canal and other local attractions.
I loved this place and fell in love with Devizes - a typically English market town. I had a lovely time exploring after a long bike ride.
Comfy room and nice people
