Staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely and good selection of hot and cold items. Cooked breakfast was cooked perfectly. We will will most definitely be returning.

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.

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.

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.)
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.
We ordered what we wanted for breakfast, so it was freshly cooked and at the time we wanted. The people there were friendly and helpful. I felt safe and secure there as the staff appeared to keep an eye on the stairs to the rooms. Although our room was on the road side of the Hotel the traffic noise did not disrupt our sleep. The Hotel was a short walk away from the Caen locks and canal - great waterside walks.
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.
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.
Nice breakfast in a basket with a hot bacon or sausage sandwich, cereal, pastry, juice, tea or coffee. Quiet, with everything one could need, especially parking in the centre of Devizes (n.b. local hotels do not have their own parking facilities).
Fantastic hotel, fabulous people, lunch was great, as was breakfast and our twin room was exceptional. Thank you for going out of your way to make our stay so great! Keep doing what you’re doing xx
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.
The whole hotel was fantastic, perfectly placed to explore Devizes and it's amazing history, the food was equally as superlative well worth booking into the restaurant alone.
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.
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.
