Clean room and good breakfast. Would recommend.
Pros:

Topsham is a beautiful location. It was easy to find and the room was clean and spacious. The bedroom furniture needs updating as there is damage to bedside tables. It had a good shower and comfortable bed.

Cons:

We were charged an extra £20 to check in early as we had driven from Pembrokeshire to attend a wedding and needed to shower and change. I thought that was unnecessary as I run two holiday cottages and have never charged extra for an early check-in.

Comfortable one-night stay
Pros:

Lovely large twin-bedded room off courtyard. Comfortable beds and nicely fitted out.

Cons:

It was a bit noisy from the courtyard outdoor seating area and these rooms need better sound insulation.

Pros:

Great place for an overnight stop between the Midlands and Cornwall. Minutes off the main road but it's a different world. Enjoyed a walk by the river, a beer in another pub before returning to the Globe for a lovely meal and drinks.
Great breakfast in the morning to set you on your way.

Cons:

No negative comments. Some might miss on-site parking but the public car park is so close we didnt notice. You walk further in an airport!

Comfortable and surprisingly good food.
Pros:

Dinner and breakfast were good.
room was nicely furnished but very hot

Cons:

The room was too hot and impossible to get cool with weak air conditioner unit.
I was also a bit surprised to find the rooms were mostly set out like a motel with bedroom doors opening onto the outside above a no
isy courtyard full of drinkers.
