The best place to stay in Glastonbury. Full of curiosities, the house reminds me of Snowshill Manor (if you've ever been) Tony makes you feel at home and his breakfasts are bloody gorgeous 😍

Truely wonderful place to stay

This is a truely amazing place to stay. The decor is amazing, staff are wonderful and location is fantastic. We stayed 4 nights and loved everything about the place, breakfast is amazing (and staff super accommodating with different ‘off menu’ requests) and access to a mini kitchen also made life much easier for grabbing a coffee of storing a beer during the day :) Will absolutely be making a return visit and almost hesitant to give a good review as it may make getting a room even harder ;)
