The Globe and Crown

Very comfortable bed.

The overall pub & room was very grubby, dust cobwebs and stains, it's an old building but that doesn't mean it should be dirty. Also the room was too small for 2 people with cases .

Location is indeed central; Breakfast cooked by chef was good.

Incompetent staff who say one thing but don't fix things. So bad, I took a video or two. Dangerous bath tub in room 2 - screws stick out inside bath but handle missing. Light above bathroom basin doesn't work. Wall-fixed hairdryer out of order but given one. No bar of soap in my room but available in daughter's. Light above bed didn't work; told staff. Turns out it had wrong size bulb in it so no surprise it didn't work. I found out when I stood on the bed to see why the replacement narrow screw-in bulb wouldn't work. Staff told but didn't have suitable bulb available, so offered a camping lamp which I had to hold up in order to see to read at night (better than nothing!); Dim central room light but not prepared to read in the bathroom with better ceiling light. Kettle gritty inside. Needed proper clean not a rinse! Breakfast supposed to start at 7.30 but on day 1, had to ask for yogurts - no plain yogurt on offer, only fruity ones in their cartons. No 'morning pastries' available as advertised. Was concerned that having paid in advance, on arrival, the Terms & Conditions say hotel will use credit card info for extra billing they deem needed - but without discussion or negotiation. Daughter's room 1 had green glowing exit light on ceiling near bed which kept them from sleeping properly and top of 4 poster was so full of dust she wrote the date in it. Cot was provided on late request - with no mattress - however, so far, not charged for. The shower curtain had mould on the end of it. Our rooms were in adjacent building - T&Cs say to leave before 11am and at 09.50 I went to return camper lamp and hairdryer and found put hotel's front door locked. Had to rap in window to attract cleaner's attention to take in the lamp and hairdryer.
