I enjoyed my stay at The Globe, which features comfortable accommodations and a great location in the charming town of Topsham. The warm, convivial atmosphere in the bar was inviting, yet I found the dining experience disappointing, particularly with the overpriced dinner items. Overall, I appreciated the cozy room, but I hope for improvements in the dining quality on my next visit.

Rooms

My room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed, though I was surprised to find a shower curtain instead of a screen in the bathroom, which wasn't ideal. Despite this, the bed was quite comfortable.

The Globe's location is fantastic for exploring Topsham's picturesque streets and local shops. It was just a short walk to the riverside, making it easy to soak in the town's charm.

Dining

While the bar offered a cozy atmosphere, I found the dinner options underwhelming and not worth the prices. My sandwich lunch was lacking, and the roast beef dinner was a letdown, missing the mark on quality.

Facilities

The pub had nice amenities, like quality tea and coffee in the room, though I wish for more thoughtful touches like extra toiletries and better breakfast options.

I had a pleasant stay at The Globe, which is conveniently located in Topsham. The staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome. However, my room, while comfortable, showed signs of wear with stained carpets and torn curtains. The proximity to outdoor seating was also a bit noisy, especially in the evening.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was small but comfortable, featuring a large bed and good cotton bed linen. However, it needs some refurbishment as the decor was quite dated, with stained carpets and worn paintwork.

I had a pleasant stay at The Globe in Exeter, where the room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. However, the dining experience left something to be desired; while the ambiance was lovely, the food didn't quite meet expectations. Overall, the great location and friendly staff made up for some of the dining shortcomings.

The Globe is excellently located in the heart of Topsham, making it easy to explore the surrounding shops and local walks. Being close to the riverside was a good bonus!

Dining

6.0

While the atmosphere in the bar was cozy, my meals were a mixed bag. The sandwich I had for lunch was underwhelming, and the roast I ordered for dinner didn't quite live up to the price tag, though some dishes were good.

Facilities

I appreciated the range of drink options available at the bar, but I found it odd that residents couldn't add drinks to their room bill for checkout. Overall, the facilities clearly aimed for comfort, though some areas could use attention.

I had a mixed experience at The Globe. The location in Topsham was good. perfect for a leisurely stroll, but I faced some issues with the room's cleanliness and breakfast service. While the staff were friendly and the food was generally good, there were some hiccups that impacted my stay.

Rooms

The staff were incredibly friendly and tried their best to accommodate my needs, especially when I raised issues. However, the service during breakfast could have been better. I had to wait quite a while for toast to accompany my meal.

The Globe's location is fantastic. right in the heart of Topsham, close to shops and attractions. It was a lovely area to explore, and even though it was bustling, I wasn't disturbed by noise during the night.

I enjoyed the evening meal, and the food offered fresh flavors. However, I was disappointed with breakfast. it didn't meet my expectations as I received a cold meal after waiting too long for toast.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were decent, but the room had an old-style small TV and I found it odd that we were placed in a dog-friendly room despite not having a pet. which included lingering dog hairs.

I had a pleasant stay at The Globe, enjoying the charming atmosphere and friendly staff. The room was stylish with a comfortable bed, although I felt the cleanliness could use more attention with some areas needing a deeper clean. Additionally, while the dining experience was decent, the food quality varied, and the coffee options during breakfast could certainly improve.

Rooms

The double room I stayed in was excellent and fresh, with a very comfortable bed and quality towels. However, the cleaning left something to be desired, as there was noticeable dust in various places.

The meals I had were generally tasty, though one dish didn't quite meet my expectations. I also wished for more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Breakfast was freshly cooked but only offered cafetière coffee, which was a bit disappointing.
