Stunning rooms in a very pretty setting, with lovely thoughtful additional touches
Pros:

The room was beautiful and very appointed, lovely additional touches! Due to the exceptional weather temperature the room was very hot and the little fan was not great at reducing the room temperature. We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the venue and both were amazing, highly recommend the pork belly starter, seafood pasta main and the full english breakfast, fantastic food ! welcoming and friendly staff.

Pros:

ROOM NUMBER ONE WAS VERY GOOD. THE FAN IN THE BATHROOM GOES ON FOR TOO LONG AND USING THE LIGHT AT NIGHT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE NOISE LASTS FOR A WHILE AFTERWARDS.

THE AVOCADO IN THE BREAKFAST THE FIRST DAY WAS QUITE RAW AND HARD OTHERWISE IT WAS ALL A FANTASTIC STAY

Cons:

I SAID…..

Great base for a short stay in Topsham
Pros:

The Globe is in a great location .

Cons:

The bedroom is really small and the room layout is not designed to maximise space in the room. The shower was separate from the wc and sink but as a result the living space in the room itself was compromised.

Pros:

Excellent food, clean comfortable room. We appreciated breakfast being available until 11am! This was the first hotel we've ever stayed in with (much welcomed) written instructions for the coffee machine.
