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 ;)

What was unique about the property?? Pretty much everything! Loved the overall decor and vibe. It felt very much like home and I had the sense of the house being very much a sanctuary from the outside world. The staff were incredibly friendly, fun and helpful, to say nothing of the great breakfasts, that everyone raves about (quite rightly!). We loved everything about our stay and will be back!

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.

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

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.

A Fascinating Gem in Glastonbury

The Covenstead may be the very best B&B I have stayed in over 40 years and many trips to the U.K. Not only is hotel’s interior decor absolutely fascinating, its rooms are beautiful, spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable. Staff are most welcoming and work very hard to accommodate guests needs, as well as serve perfectly prepared individualized breakfasts. A most unusual and wonderful place to stay!

I was really impressed by my stay. The property was exactly as it was listed. I found the B&B very peaceful and restful. Great decor as well. There was a beautiful view of the Abbey outside of my room's window too. Everyone that worked there went out of their way to help me and were so kind. The location was great and everything was top notch.
