A perfect Family Holiday House
We had a lovely week with our family in this lovely house. It was very comfortable clean with stunning views. Our party consisted of 10 adults and 5 children under 8. There was plenty of room for us all and the children loved the grounds and especially the den.

Amazing house and grounds in a beautiful setting. Excellent hosts too! Very highly recommended.
We had a superb 2 week family holiday at Weeke Barton. The property is extremely well equipped and full of character, with plenty of space for the 12 of us. The house is located in a pretty part of Dartmoor, with great views from the garden. It's also very tranquil with amazing dark skies. Good circular walks from the house and close to pubs serving good local beers and outstanding food. Loads to do and see within a half hour car ride. The owners (Jo and Sam) were in residence during our stay and were very helpful with recommendations and the odd time we needed something. I can't recommend highly enough.

The property is beautiful, each room is big and luxurious and the living space is amazing and full of quirky touches. The views from the garden are beautiful and peaceful - the perfect place for a family gathering. The owners were so helpful at answering my questions before and while we were there. Would definitely recommend staying here
