Welcome to The Globe
Hotel, a character
16th century coaching inn located in Topsham, Devon, a busy and popular
estuary town just downriver from Exeter.
The Globe is at the centre of the Topsham
community. You can drop in for morning coffee, or a pint of local
ale or a glass of wine. We serve excellent food at all levels, produced
almost entirely using local and locally sourced ingredients, from
simple bar snacks to full 3-course meals in our popular Elizabethan
Restaurant.
We are the only hotel in Topsham and offer
comfortable accommodation in 19 rooms, including character four-posters
and half-testers in the main inn and more modern accommodation in
the Courtyard annex. If you prefer self-catering, we can offer modern
fully serviced accommodation in the nearby Steam Packet apartments,
with stunning views over Topsham Quay and the Exe estuary.
Come to The Globe to listen to folk music,
play skittles or bingo. In 2008, we were at the centre of the Topsham
Food Festival and organised Nello’s Longest Table (which the Daily
Express called ‘Britain’s biggest dinner party’). Lots of fun events
and activities take place in The Globe regularly and throughout the
year.
The Malthouse is available for hire, both
for private parties as well as for business meetings and conferences.
The Globe has been in the Price family since
1978. Ann Price continues to oversee proceedings, while daughter
Liz and her husband Dave look after the day-to-day running of operations,
both here and at The Globe’s sister establishment Route 2 Café Bar
and Cycle Hire, just down the road.
Both The Globe and Route 2 are eco-businesses
that have won awards for green tourism and sustainability.
