| Built in the 1840s by William Colton, one of the founders of McLaren Vale, this early inn opened in 1849. It traded under several names, including the Devonshire Arms, Devonshire House, and simply The Devonshire. The first manager was George Walsh, who also served as the local postmaster. Colton did not live long after the hotel opened, and in 1851 the property was sold by his estate to Nicholas Browning. In later years, the building was repurposed as a cordial manufactory.
