The Globe Inn

The Globe Inn is a white-painted village pub in Frogmore, hanging flower baskets over the door and fairy lights strung along the frontage after dark, an illuminated stained-glass globe sign marking the entrance at dusk.

A bar, a games room and live folk music

The pub itself is the main draw: a dining area of wooden tables beside the bar, a games room with a pool table, dartboard and trophy shelf, and a cosy corner with a lit wood stove and sofa seating. Live bands play in the function area with fiddle and guitar, the beer taps and cider pumps lined up at the bar alongside a coffee machine turning out latte art.

Ensuite rooms above the bar

Rooms are simply furnished, one with wood furniture and a window seat, another with two beds and mustard-coloured walls, reached up a staircase lined with framed pictures beneath a glazed roof. Bathrooms are ensuite, with a shower cubicle in most and a bath in at least one.

A terraced beer garden

The beer garden steps down in tiers, green umbrellas shading tables in the sun and an elevated section catching the view at dusk.

Estuary views over the valley

The estuary valley opens out from the pub toward the village and fields, boats moored beneath the hills as the evening light fades.

A village pub stay near Kingsbridge

The Globe Inn suits anyone wanting a proper village pub with rooms above rather than a self-catering cottage, with Kingsbridge the nearest town for shops and a wider choice of places to eat.
