The Globe Inn in Wells, Somerset, is a 300‑year‑old Grade II–listed pub on Priest Row, known for its traditional British atmosphere, hearty homemade food, and locally sourced ingredients, all served within a friendly, dog‑welcoming environment just a short walk from Wells Cathedral. With a strong reputation for generous portions, good value, and warm service, it remains a well‑loved part of the Wells community, offering classic pub dishes, local drinks, and a cosy setting that reflects the charm of England’s smallest city.
Although the building is historic, the ground floor was remodelled in the late 20th century, creating a blend of old‑world charm and contemporary comfort. Inside, the Globe Inn has the feel of a classic, centuries‑old English pub that has been gently modernised without losing its character, with a warmly lit interior, traditional décor, wooden tables, comfortable seating, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The layout includes a main bar area and a small dining area at the front, giving the pub a series of intimate, inviting corners for guests to enjoy
The upstairs function space at the Globe Inn is a bright, versatile room above the main bar, offering a more private and self‑contained setting than the lively pub downstairs. It has a comfortable, modern feel while still reflecting the Grade II–listed building's character, making it suitable for private dining, small parties, meetings, community groups, and buffet‑style gatherings. The space is intimate rather than large, which gives it a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and food from the main kitchen can be served upstairs for events. Overall, it’s a practical, cosy function room that works well for groups who want a quieter area away from the main bar while still enjoying the charm of the historic pub.
To the rear of the pub is a small, walled, terraced garden that provides a functional outdoor seating space. It has the feel of a cosy courtyard, offering a sheltered spot where guests can enjoy drinks or meals in good weather. Because the Globe Inn sits on Priest Row in the historic centre of Wells, the garden is compact but welcoming, with tables arranged for casual dining and a relaxed atmosphere that fits the character of the old building.
The private accommodation is set over 2 floors, a good quality flat with 2-3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a lounge.
