Weeke Barton

A perfect location to find the real Devon away from the major roads. Beautifully restored Longhouse full of character, quirky staircases, low beams and views. On the edge of Dartmoor National Park and beaches half an hour away. Didn’t meet Jo as she was away but Sam was the perfect host and chef. We even had access to an EV charger. Lots of lovely walks, a vineyard along the lane, a tranquil setting. Thank you Sam and Jo for a wonderful stay.

The Weeke Barton Hotel is a real gem of a place if you are looking for a unique stay off the beaten track. We only discovered it as it was recommended by the infamous Ingrid Grayling, a local dog trainer, who runs boot camps for feral dogs. The hotel is a lovingly restored house set in beautiful gardens with far reaching views. Our bedroom was huge and very comfortable. The set Monday night supper was delicious as was the homemade granola for breakfast. The extensive garden is perfect for a stroll after supper with lots of areas to sit. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating, warm and relaxed.

A beautiful property with lovely walks on the doorstep. Friendly hosts (with loads of recommendations for food and things to do) and the Friday pie supper was excellent. WB has a relaxing atmosphere and is dog friendly. Recommend.

We stayed in the Kato room for 2 nights. This room was beautiful, had the most comfortable bed and really well thought out including a log burner, very cosy. Sat in the loveliest grounds with wonderful walks and stunning views.
The hosts were both warm and helpful, great tips on where to eat and where to visit. Breakfast was amazing, the granola is home made and possibly the best we have ever tasted. Would absolutely recommemd this incredible hotel.

I booked Weeke Barton exclusively for my 40th. Jo and Sam were brilliant hosts, they cooked incredible food (including breakfast for 12 plus kids) and catered dinner each evening for six extra guests. The bar was superbly stocked too, especially if you like natural wines, and it was easy for friends and family staying nearby to pop in for a drink or quick hello.
It was a fantastic weekend. We walked on Haldon Hill, booked a forest sauna and cold dip, and on Saturday night even caught a moonbow thanks to the full moon, mist and Dartmoor’s darkness. Thoroughly recommend for a birthday or any special occasion.

We stay at a lot of boutique hotels but Sam and Joe really are stand out for their hugely warm and welcoming, easy going, yet no detail spared, style. We were so impressed by what's clearly been years of care and curation put into the 14th century long house, now reimagined with all the stylish cosy modern edge you would dream of. They made us feel completely at home, fed us with a delicious home made breakfast and supper, and our labrador was particularly taken too with his new best friend, Winston, the extremely friendly house doggy! Would highly recommend for dog lovers and those looking for a cosy jumping off point into the beautiful surrounding countryside.

We booked the entire Weeke Barton for a special occasion and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The house is beautiful, full of character, and set in stunning Devon countryside. Jo and Sam were the perfect hosts. Warm, thoughtful, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make our stay truly special. Highly recommend for a memorable getaway!

Weeke Barton was all we could wish for as we gathered to celebrate a big family birthday. Luxurious bedrooms set the tone, the dining room held us all as we toasted the birthday boy, the outside table was the venue for slow breakfasts and the bar was the place of choice for the older members to set the world to rights. All relaxed outside in the beautiful surroundings while young cousins relished the space to run and play.

Seeing the fabulous comments about Weeke Barton in The Times on 26th July reminded me that I never posted a review after my family stayed there at the end of May for a wedding near by. We experienced both options of ‘ normal hotel guests’ and ‘ take over the whole hotel as a quasi AirBnB’ whilst we were there for five nights. Both options were brilliant. The atmosphere, the comfort, and how helpful our hosts were will live comfortably alongside our many memories of a wonderful family wedding.
I am not a regular Trip Advisor contributor, yet I want to add to The Times review by saying that Weeke Barton was one of the most enjoyable stays in a hotel that my family and I will ever have. Our dogs loved their welcome too!

We had the most amazing time staying at Weeke Barton! The hosts were so thoughtful and welcoming and the breakfasts were delicious. We also had the pie and apple crumble on Friday evening, which was incredible. The room was cosy and lovely, and the bed was super comfortable. It’s such a peaceful, stylish place to stay. They gave us some fantastic recommendations too — there’s a lovely vineyard nearby, plus loads of beautiful moor and coastal walks. Wish we had a few more days!

Jo, Sam and lovely son Rory couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. My daughter particularly enjoyed her 'carnivore' full english. Beautiful setting and great honesty bar for ending the evening… great stay.

What a wonderful find! The owners were so friendly and accommodating, and the hotel, room, grounds and breakfast were gorgeous. There were so many nice little touches such as the honesty bar and you could also help yourself to milk/water whenever you need.
We stayed in the Kota room, which was a perfect hide away, we loved the bath, wood burner and projector screen. The pictures don't do it justice. I cannot recommend this hotel enough and we will 100% be returning guests. It's great to see an independent hotel doing so well!

It is simply wonderful. It's like travelling back in time, all in perfect comfort, with brilliant style. Jo is an excellent host and the buttered toast is phenomenal. Oh, and a homemade gin and tonic is a must. We have never seen such a fantastic venue.

Lovely site — the garden was ideal for lazing on a sunny day. The house is fascinating architecturally (like many old houses it's not so easy if you aren't fairly agile). Given that this isn't a cheap place to stay, I thought breakfast could have been more generous — perhaps another slice of toast/piece of bacon? Still, a warm welcome and good experience.

We had a lovely stay at Weeke Barton. The owners were particularly welcoming from the get go where we were given a tour and any questions we had answered. Our room was clean and our bed was incredibly comfy. Shower was powerful. We loved the little touches like the honesty bar, DVD library and text system for ordering breakfast — which was delicious. We stayed on a weekend with a big separate wedding party which did make it quite noisy at times through the doors/ walls as it is a proper house set up, but that is no fault of the owner. Would definitely recommend this lovely and quirky guest house to others.

We stopped off at Weekes Barton on the way to South Cornwall from London. We arrived late at around 10pm but got a warm welcome from Sam. The most incredible sleep in ‘Henry’ was had that night, so much so I took notes of the mattress and bed linen. Breakfast was a hearty affair with an absolutely lovely Jo feeding us. Then a long picturesque walk through flowering wild garlic and bluebells worked some of it off. Our dogs were welcomed even if they aren’t the best behaved! My only complaint is I wish we could have stayed longer, rather than using as just a resting place on the way to our final destination. We will be back.

Beautiful view, lovely room and great breakfast to start the day for walks on Dartmoor. We stayed for two nights and Sam and Jo were very helpful and informative about the surrounding area.
Dogs are welcomed as well.
