Castle Barton - South Hams

We had tea and cake at this restaurant. The tea was reminiscent of the kind we make at home - hot and strong, just the way we like it. The carrot cake and lemon cake were homemade and delicious. The prices were very reasonable, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent. We decided to visit after touring Compton Castle, as there was no cafe there. The restaurant, Castle Barton, was conveniently located just opposite the castle. The setting was lovely.

We stumbled across this quaint place after visiting the National Trust property opposite. Compton Castle doesn’t seem to have its own tea room but this made a welcome alternative with delicious cakes, flapjacks and a refreshing pot of tea all enjoyed in their sunny hillside garden.

Excellent service and wonderful food. Love going there just like stepping back in time. Lovely log fire in the dining room.

Superb quant setting, so good we went twice. We were staying at Compton Pool Farm walked to Barton Castle, then called into the restaurant opposite for afternoon tea which was so delicious, we booked for dinner Friday evening. The lady that served us was so friendly helpful and the food was excellent as well as being very good value for money. Would definitely recommend would go again.

Very friendly, welcoming, unexpected find on a family day out! Went to Compton Castle and stumbled across the road to find this sweet place, beers, wines, just so relaxing, refreshing to find a place for value for money!
