The Globe Inn

Central location, nice, clean, cosy, everything needed. Breakfast was great.

The rooms are in the pub yard. It’s a bit noisy in the morning. The window is just in the door and is blurred. For 1-night stay is fine. But if you wish to spend more nights and enjoy a view from the room, it’s better to book another room.

Breakfasts included interesting cooked options.

Room was cramped (expected) and too hot in the exceptionally hot weather.

The Globe is a lovely inn. We stayed in a Large Double Room, which was fantastic. Everything was great, and we have no negative comments. Breakfast was just as we like it. The other menu was adequate, but there is not much of a selection. However, the quality and standard of cooking and presentation is very good, if a tad on the expensive side. The staff are marvellous, vey helpful and nothing is too much trouble. In all, a wonderful break for us, and we would recommend it highly to others.

There is nothing we did not like, although the menu could have given a bit more choice.

Nice dining area

Small double room barely enough room to walk round bed, also up narrow steep stairs which were a safety hazard. Thankfully we were moved to a lot nicer ground floor room for our second night.

The 'Inn' features of the Globe were all excellent - terrific pub, very good dinner and pretty good breakfast. Nice location, only a very short walk from harbour. Staff were very helpful and responded quickly to an issue we had on arrival.

I think if you are staying in the main hotel you would have a much better experience. Certainly the three in our party who stayed there were happy with their rooms. I and one other of our party of 5 were in the annex which is some 5mins walk from the pub. This annex has a communal lounge and dining area but the room was smaller than I expected for the price and the twin beds had been set up as, effectively, a double bed which had to be sorted. As I said, the staff did respond quickly to this issue and we sorted it.

Breakfast was excellent

Room was small although that is how it was advertised

The room was clean and staff were friendly. The location is great for easy access to the town centre and harbour, also just across the road from the Buttlands, handy for taking the dogs for first and last outdoor visit of the day. Service at breakfast was efficient and food was served promptly.

Finding a place to park was difficult, on one occasion we had to park on Polka Road, a 5 minute walk away. Our room was at the front of the pub, and there was quite a lot of noise from delivery vehicles and also from guests sitting outside (we expect that there may be noise when we stay at a pub and with hindsight, should have requested a room at the back). Though our room was clean, communal areas were not up to standard. The landing area can only be described as dirty, with a heavy layer of dust on the lamp; also the cushion on the landing settee was badly stained yet clean towels were placed on this in the morning before room cleaning! The corridor carpet was also stained. We booked a superior double room but it lacked storage space; bedside cabinets only had one small drawer. There was quite a large wardrobe but only 4 hangers provided and the only drawer was full of spare bedding. consequently we didn't unpack our suitcase. I also found the toiletries provided to be very heavily scented, personal taste I know but I disliked it and in any case, strongly scented toiletries are not ideal if a guest intends to wear their own fragrance. We had read that the breakfasts were excellent but in this, we were disappointed. I ordered a fried egg, hash browns and mushrooms one morning and got an egg, two small hash browns and *one* mushroom, the second occasion that I was give one mushroom.

Breakfast was good.

Room was small and in The Archway 5 minutes walk away from The Globe.

A lovely “family” room (although it only slept 2 but we had dogs with us). Dog beds and towels and treats provided. Fabulous bath.

It was the week after the heatwave but extremely hot in the room. The aircon didn’t work on the first night. Better after it was reset.
