About Us

The Devonshire Fell Hotel is situated in Burnsall, offering breathtaking views of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The hotel’s fabulous location is so awe-inspiring that when the producers of the 2003 film the Calendar Girls wanted a quintessential Yorkshire village and summer fête, Burnsall was the location they chose. The charming village of Burnsall can be seen throughout the film and needless to say it was an overnight success around the world.

Some of the tiny local village’s most beautiful old buildings are thanks to Sir William Craven, who rose from poverty to become Lord Mayor of London in 1611. He returned to his home county of Yorkshire where he used his new-found wealth to build Burnsall’s school building and restore the 13th century Church of St Wilfrid.

The Devonshire Fell itself was built as a gentlemen’s club, but quickly evolved into a hotel. It was taken over by the Bolton Abbey Estate in 1999, and restored by the current Duchess of Devonshire.

The Devonshire Fell is the perfect place for all occasions from weddings, parties or weekend getaways, to business trips and corporate events. Expect the warmest of welcomes from our friendly staff who are here to ensure you experience the truly relaxing atmosphere of The Devonshire Fell.

“My partner organised a surprise 50th two night stay for me at your hotel. I just wanted to say it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. All the staff were really helpful and friendly and went out of their way to accommodate whatever we needed. The food was excellent and our room was wonderful too, cleaned and refreshed daily. Even Max our little sausage dog was looked after very well during our stay. We cannot wait to come back and stay again. We’re hoping to come and stay for our mini moon in the not too distant future.”
