    Brilliant to be able to enjoy a beautiful meal in the Globe. However Burns’ room was locked so not able to see inside despite that being the main reason why we wanted to go there. Discovered the next day that they are breaking rules set out by the trust that owns the building by doing so. Poor given the importance of the Globe and draw for visitors to the town. Will head back at some point just to see inside Burns’ room - only disappointing element of a lovely meal.
    The Globe InnResponded on 25 March 2025
    Dear Stuart, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful meal and ambience. We understand your disappointment regarding the Burns' Room. For health and safety reasons, and to preserve the historical integrity of the room, access is only granted with one of our staff members as part of our guided Globe tours, or by pre-arrangement with a member of the Howff Club. These tours are bookable to avoid disappointment. We are working to ensure this information is made clearer to our guests. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this caused. If you contact us with the dates you plan to visit, we would be happy to arrange a tour for you, ensuring you have the opportunity to experience this important piece of history.

    The food , service and ambience were excellent as always. Excellent lunch menu beautifully presented and fully explained by the first class waiting staff. Only thing that was a n issue was that the seats are extremely uncomfortable and should be replaced.
