No Weight LimitWeeke Barton Dog Friendly Review
Weeke Barton holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for dog owners considering a stay in Exeter it makes a genuinely welcoming impression. Two dogs per room are allowed with no weight or size limit at all, so whether you travel with a sprightly terrier or a lumbering hound you will not be turned away. The bar, restaurant, terrace, lounge and most rooms are all open to your dog, which means you are rarely left choosing between a meal out and your dog's company. There is also a garden your dog can use, and green spaces nearby give you somewhere further afield to stretch your dog's legs. The hotel shares its pet policy before you book, so you know exactly what to expect before you arrive.
Day to day, the practicalities are straightforward if a little bare. You will pay £15 per night for your dog, and with no damage deposit required your upfront costs stay predictable. There is no dedicated dog space, no dog bed, no bowls, no dog food for sale and no free treats provided, so you will need to bring your own kit for feeding and settling your dog in the room. Your dog may be left alone in the room, which is useful if you want to eat in the restaurant without company, though you will need to supply anything that keeps it comfortable while you are away. There is no dog washing or shower area, so a muddy walk means towelling off yourself rather than relying on the hotel.
The fee is modest set against the freedom to bring your dog almost everywhere on site, though it buys little beyond that access since there is no grooming, no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, no poop bags, no toys and no staff specifically trained for canine guests. There are no dog friendly activities, events, awards or media coverage to speak of, no charity support, and no emergency vet number provided, so anyone hoping for a curated dog experience should look elsewhere. Cats are not welcome to stay, and dogs are never free of charge. This suits an owner with a self-sufficient, sociable dog who is happy being left alone briefly and who simply wants wide access to the bar, restaurant, lounge, terrace and garden without fuss, rather than an owner seeking pampering extras or professional canine care on site.
