My positive experience of this small hotel began as soon as I rang to make my booking. Martyn was friendly and helpful, and I was delighted with the deal he gave me for my 3 night stay.Most people don't ask for too much when they stay in a B & B or hotel. Clean room and shower, good breakfast and a warm welcome? Well the Globe offers all of these and more.My room was a good size with adequate storage space and a small but clean and functional bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the room had been well prepared. There was also a kettle together with a good supply of coffee and tea. Some nice biscuits as well!I travel a lot, and many hotels suffer from poor parking facilities, but that was certainly not the case here, as there was plenty of spaces for all of the guests, without the inconvenience and worry of having to park on the street.I also liked the lounge come bar area, where you could escape to read [ as I did after my course finished for the day], have a drink or enjoy a tasty bar meal from the generous menu.I didn't sample the food on offer, apart from my breakfast, which was fine; preferring to get out and stretch my legs. I had one meal at the Bear, which is a pub in the centre of Alcester, which was OK, but came piping hot out of the micro-wave, and had to be left for 5 minutes before it was safe to eat. I must mention 'Essence' which is situated right next to the Globe. Superb, locally sourced food at very reasonable prices and with an owner who was both attentive and passionate about the food that he served. Highly recommended.One tip: If you want to walk into the centre of Alcester, turn right from the hotel entrance, carry on down Birmingham road, carry on past the traffic lights until you arrive at Waitrose, The car-park leads you past an Indian restaurant [good reviews] and straight into the middle of the high street. Takes a good 5 minutes off your journey.

Like Peter C my wife and I visited this hotel on a Sunday and Monday night via a kgb deal, although we weren't offered the bottle of wine. I agree with the other comments - rooms adequate size but clean and well appointed. Breakfast very good, and Martyn, the host, attentive and helpful. One small downside, on the Tuesday morning we were woken at 6am by some contractors who had been staying and were obviously off to work early. However this hotel is good value for money if you get one of the deals.

Just returned today from the Globe in Alcester after a wonderful weekend away with my partner. We purchased this as a deal on kgb for 2 nights stay with breakfast and a bottle of wine on arrival. The owner is a lovely guy and made us feel really welcomed. The room was small but is exceptionally clean and has nice touches like duck feather pillows,,hair dryer, flat screen tv, and toiletries. The welcome pack was very informative and said the best places to visit and dine. We choose to go to the Indian restaurant Cardamom as you can take your own alcohol and they have not hiked up the prices because of this. For ¿¿20 bill we had too much food to finish, and was really good quality meat etc. The breakfast in the hotel was great, buffet style tea, coffee, juices, cereal, yogurt, toast with jams and marmalade, also a full English could be requested to go with this which was back bacon, sausage, beans, tomato,mushrooms and choice of scrambled, poached or fried egg, I had this both mornings it was divine. We visited Alcester town (10 minute walk) which is a nice country town, only a short street of small shops and coffee shops etc but very friendly. We visited Stratford upon avon town too (20 minute drive) it has lots to see and do! Thanks for a wonderful weekend, we will 100% be staying in the Globe when we visit the area again!

We stayed 2 nights on groupon offer and met up with friends here. Very friendly staff who made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. Rooms are small but purposeful and extremely clean. Breakfast was really nice and love the fact you help yourself to plentiful tea and toast and have a huge breakfast cooked for you too. The only disappointment was it was further from Stratford upon Avon than we anticipated (our fault for not researching). However we found a great restaurant walking distance away so still had a good evening out.Well done Globe House - we had a lovely stay.

We stayed two nights in this B & B. Staff was very friendly and nice from the booking process throughout to the end. The place is very clean and tidy. The rooms are small and not fancy, but everything was in good state of repair. Our shower didn't have hot water and we were put into another room - no hassle, and everything was perfect in the new room. The owner and the staff were all very friendly and polite. Breakfast was from 8-10am on the weekend and 7-9am on weekdays - we stayed Saturday and Sunday night. The breakfast was all right, it was a standard breakfast that was well-cooked, quickly served and overall good.Alcester is a cute little place and we went for a few walks around town. It is well-located for Stratford upon Avon, which is amazing, and it is in close proximity to the beautiful Warwick Castle that is well worth seeing!I would recommend this place; it is clean and tidy with a good location and friendly staff. Don't expect the Ritz but for what it is, it is good.
