The Globe Inn is a characterful Grade II listed 17th-century coaching inn, set in an exceptional waterside location on the edge of Alresford Pond in the heart of Alresford. Rich in history and traditional charm, this is a standout destination pub that combines heritage, hospitality, and a truly enviable setting.
Externally, the building is a long, two-storey structure with a traditional tile-hung frontage and half-hipped tiled roof, reflecting its origins as a historic coaching inn. One of the pub’s most impressive features is its large terrace and beer garden, which gently slopes down towards the pond, offering uninterrupted views across the water and regular sightings of swans and ducks. This space is a major draw for locals, walkers, and tourists alike, particularly during warmer months.
Inside, The Globe Inn has been sensitively refurbished to retain its period features while creating a warm and welcoming environment. The interior showcases low ceilings, exposed oak beams, and bare wooden floors, adding to the pub’s authentic feel. The layout offers a mix of trading spaces, including a distinctive red-walled dining room, a traditional bar area with varied seating from dining tables to comfortable Chesterfield sofas, and a small private room overlooking the pond, ideal for intimate dining or private occasions.
With its unique waterside position, strong food and drink potential, and timeless character, The Globe Inn is a highly attractive pub opportunity for an operator looking to run a destination-led business rooted in its local area while benefiting from year-round visitor appeal.
There are 3 large bedrooms, a separate lounge, bathroom and kitchen and office all on one floor.
