Weeke Barton, Dartmoor, Devon, UK - Explore & Book

"When Jo and Sam swapped their hectic London life for the wilds of Dartmoor, they set about opening the hip yet homely rural retreat they’d always dreamt of – the kind of place where guests can kick off their shoes and unwind. You’d expect a former Conran restaurant manager and a graphic designer from Hackney to know about hospitality and cool, and they’ve certainly created a winning formula: stylish interiors, total tranquility and a refreshingly laid-back vibe. The building – almost 500 years old and rumoured by locals to be the longest longhouse in Devon – is delightfully quirky, with ancient nooks and spiral staircases offset by sleek urban furniture and contemporary art. The six bedrooms have beamed ceilings, deliciously comfy beds and sheepskin-covered window seats; one has a dreamy double-ended bathtub. Downstairs, Jo’s excellent home cooking is just the ticket after a day's walking, and there's a very cosy bar with an honesty system. Perfect for stressed-out city folk who need a countryside fix; you can even bring your dog. Highs Glorious landscapes and views, and plenty to do nearby: moorland walks or bike rides, horse riding, historic houses Plus an enormous garden and a cosy lounge with DVDs, for those who want to do nothing at all Delicious food, with lots of local treats: Devon sausages at breakfast, wild venison for dinner, meat pies, bio-dynamic wines and local ales Book the whole house for a large family or small group getaway, catered or self-catered (a 2-night minimum) Surprisingly easy to reach given its remoteness: 20 mins' drive from Exeter (which is 2 hrs by train from London) Lows When booking B&B, you'll need to pre-order picnic lunch packs; no lunch is served on the premises No TV signal, but there's a flatscreen for watching DVDs Over Christmas and New Year, Weeke Barton is only available on a self-catered whole-house basis Only Henry's room can be a twin The low, beamed ceilings might mean tall guests need to crouch a bit" - Abi Dare

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 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!

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 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 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!

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!

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.

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.
