    As I had a meeting in the morning, I didn't mind being woken up to the sound of shattering glass, as presumably a skip was being emptied at 7:00 AM. However my guests were not attending the meeting and thus had a very early morning call! Perhaps if staff know that the accommodation is for people who are on holiday, it might be more appropriate to give them a room at the back on a Thursday morning!

    I thought that the food was much improved than on previous occasions. The staff were as always very friendly and pleasant

    Fabulous big room with a lovely view and a large bathroom. Staff were all friendly and helpful. It was quiet when we were there but as explained on their website it might well be noisier at weekends and busier time of the year.

    The room was beautiful. It was spacious, very comfortable and there were lots of nice touches. The only downside was the amount of noise from the beer garden, as our room was in the annex which faced into the courtyard. Staying in a pub, we expected some noise but didn't expect so much on a weeknight. Take ear-plugs. The food in the pub was nice. Good selection of ales and wine and the staff were without exception very friendly. Breakfast service was slow and the continental buffet was hidden away in a separate room, which the waitress didn't tell us about so that was a bit odd. However, the selection was good and we enjoyed it. Topsham is an absolutely gorgeous location and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. The views across the estuary are stunning, there are plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants and a lovely selection of independent shops.

    I have stayed at the Globe for the last 8!years when in the South West on Business. Always very friendly staff and efficient. Rooms are excellent and breakfast is always good and quick if you get down early. However it is cooked to order.

    We traveled with our teenage daughters. We all really liked the Globe. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The food was good, the dinner menu exceeded our expectations and the breakfasts were excellent too. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Location was great for our visit to the University, Dartmoor, and the coast. Topsham is a lovely place too. (from communication prior to our visit we were aware of the parking down the road, only a short walk, and that it is a lively pub)

    Friendly and very helpful staff. Topsham is a lovely place and easy to get to Westpoint for events. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. However, there are hardly any lights, making the room very dark, and the bathroom needs renewing. There were a quite a few things wrong with it.

    Lovely hotel for one night stay on our way to West country. Nice bar with open fire. Meal in restaurant was good. Breakfast next morning was excellent. Only negative is that it could be noisy on a summer evening as the tables in the garden are very close to the rooms. Great value for money and we really enjoyed our stay.

    Room 15. Lighting very poor. Reception put in an extra bedside lamp for us. Bedroom clean but outside lighting had cobwebs over it so perhaps a bit more looking at external cleaning.

    Breakfast and dinner very good.
