One of the best ways to visit Glastonbury
Impressive rooms and welcoming staff. Even offered to use free passes to visit abbey. Wish I had more time there to savour all the artifacts amoungst the property. Didn't expect to have a view of the tor from the bedroom what a great stay.

Affectionately called the witches place. A unique, luxury B&B in the centre of town. Individual styled bedrooms in the spirit of Glastonbury as is the whole house. Comfy beds and always sleep well. Breakfast is the best, friendly and delightful.

Wonderful stay at this lovely B&B in the centre of Glastonbury in one of their beautiful themed rooms. Freya and Tony were so friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. They made us and our spaniel so welcome.

Not your standard place
Terrific location, fascinating history and eclectic decoration - broadsword on the wall perhaps a raven on a skull. A great and enthusiastic host, with a terrific breakfast. Its a unique place - definitely not a travel lodge - but a very reasonable price for an interesting and enjoyable stay

The property is first class luxury and suits the atmosphere of Glastonbury perfectly. Everyone said 'oh you are staying at the witches place' and it lives up to that for sure. The host Tony is welcoming, accommodating and all round top guy. Cooked to order breakfast is the best ever. Will be returning as its now my new preferred stay in the area.
