Perfect.
Pros:

Central, characterful, exceptional staff who were very accommodating and beautiful large tastefully decorated rooms. Fabulous breakfast with good coffee. We did Exmouth parkrun on the Saturday - stunning one to do if you’ve never done one before! 20 mins drive and breakfast runs til 11.30 so easily doable.

Cons:

Only minor - no parking - but that’s centre living and not the hotel’s fault!
Easy to find parking nearby and easy to unload.

Great value stay in character pub.

Beautiful old coaching inn in the heart of Topsham, full of atmosphere. Courtyard room was comfortable and well equipped. Excellent breakfast included in our good value stay. We also enjoyed an evening meal.

Nothing apart from a rather chilly bathroom floor

Pros:

Excellent location, great value and very helpful staff

Cons:

Only minor thing. I stayed in room 22 and the desk had a very loose leg and it as well as side tables showed water damage on top. Would recommend repair or replacement going forward

As always, nice stay.
Pros:

Great room, nice location, only issue is no on-site parking so will need use local car park.
Food and ale, great and nice breakfast. In addition top Curry House on the main street.

Cons:

Lack of parking, however, I already know this, as I have used this hotel for many years.

Cosy comfy pub with friendly staff and a good breakfast
Pros:

The Globe was ideally situated for an overnight stay while visiting a concert at Powderham Castle.
The pub had a lovely cosy atmosphere with friendly staff and outside seating. Our room was basic but comfortable and even had a decent fan to cool us down. We slept well and had a gorgeous breakfast the following morning. The outside planters window boxes and hanging baskets are absolutely stunning and so pretty. I’d stay here again…

Cons:

There wasn’t anything ..
