THE Devonshire Arms Hotel and Spa at Bolton Abbey has made it into the first ever Top 100 Hoteliers Award.

The hotel was ranked 31st best in the country in the awards sponsored by The Caterer and Sky and judged by hotel experts and journalists.

The full list was revealed during a reception last week at London's Ham Yard Hotel.

Adam Dyke, general manager of The Devonshire Arms Hotel and Spa, said: “We are truly delighted to be recognised on the Top 100 List.

"It really is a list of the crème de la crème of British Hotels, and to be held in such high esteem is a great confidence boost for us as a team.

"It’s a particularly proud moment to be the Best in Yorkshire according to the list detail, and the highest ranked in the North of England.”
