The Devonshire Arms

Charming Countryside Pub Stay Near Sheffield Gigs

The Devonshire Arms is a cozy, traditional-style hotel set in the scenic village of Middle Handley, just a short drive from Sheffield. With its blend of rustic charm and modern comforts, this countryside inn offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to major concert venues like FlyDSA Arena, just 9 miles away. Expect warm hospitality, a welcoming pub atmosphere, and family-friendly vibes.

Why Concert-goers love it

This spot is ideal for music fans who want to enjoy the show without the city-center chaos. Located about 20 minutes by car from FlyDSA Arena, you’ll avoid the post-concert traffic jams while still staying close to the action. After the gig, unwind with a drink on the sun terrace or in the bar. Late check-in from 16:00 means you can arrive comfortably after soundcheck, and the 11:00 checkout lets you sleep off the encore. Bonus: it’s far from the late-night noise, so you’ll actually get some rest.

Nightlife Options

While you won’t find a club scene here, the hotel’s own bar often features evening entertainment—from live music to quiz nights. Want more action? Sheffield’s buzzing nightlife is just a short drive away, offering bars, lounges, and live venues.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, comfy beds, and the peaceful vibe after a loud night out. Many mention how the location strikes the right balance between convenience and countryside charm. The rooms are praised for being clean, well-equipped, and surprisingly spacious.

Areas for Improvement

It’s worth noting that the location is a bit remote, so having a car or pre-booked taxi helps. Some guests suggest the WiFi could be more consistent in all areas of the hotel, especially if you're streaming post-gig videos.
