I decided to book this hotel for both myself and my fiancee on our way to the Lake District. I was a bit worried after reading the other reviews, and thought it can't be that bad. For starters, as others have said, the parking is terrible. The small car parking compromises of a section of pavement and an area next... more

On arrival I wished I had taken more notice of the comments on parking, which was not great but was free. The hotel is situated in a perfect position for walking to the town centre and the castle. The staff were attentive and friendly. On first impressions our room was lovely. A nice size, a four poster bed with comfy... more

Spent 1 night at the hotel (room 11). On the surface the room looked fine but.... Bathroom door could not be opened from the inside (if you're by yourself then you're in trouble!) Had to fight with the wardrobe doors to get them to even partially open. Television wasn't even set up (had to sort out the cables myself). The... more

The breakfast was lovely and very filling.There are loads of great eateries in walking distance... more

This is not a hotel for somebody expecting to be all english. We wanted to come here because it was going to be different, There was a... more

Bad service, rude staff crap food, don't touch with a barge pole more

October 2007 I have stayed at the Globe for one night on two seperate occasions in the last two weeks. My experience would certainly echo that of Akkrenskarin and certainly NOT that of the other contributors. It was with a degree of trepidation that I found that the company that I work for had booked me into a hotel with... more

We only stayed here for one night but probably wouldn't go again. The room itself was just about ok but the bathroom floor was mouldy. Overall we were fairly disappointed. The only saving grace was that we only stayed one night! more
