Ancient Glastonbury has been linked to the Holy Grail, King Arthur, and the Ley Lines for over four thousand years. The once-quaint town that became famous for its music festival is now a major destination for religious tourists and pilgrims, with a wide variety of interesting establishments catering to their needs. Glastonbury Tor, located on the Somerset Levels, dominates the town's skyline with its mysterious tower and is now cared for by the National Trust. The ruined abbey in the centre of town is a must-see if you're looking for a wonderful experience full of historic ambiance, calm, and tranquilly. Acres of pristine marsh may be found in Somerset, making it a home for a variety of birds. You could also go to the picturesque Cheddar Gorge or the tiniest city in England, Wells. Anytime of year, this place is a hive of activity and fun for holidaymakers.

    It is noisy, the slightest sound echoes. The central heating seemed confusing, we could not get the temperature up on Thursday. The green swivel chair in the sitting room is very unstable and dangerous. I toppled backwards and had to be helped up. Some sort of felt pads on the feet of the kitchen chairs would reduce the noise significantly. I'm sorry if I seem to be moaning a lot, this is meant as constructual criticism not as complaints. Overall we found the cottage lovely and would return. Glastonbury on the other hand could do something about the dog fouling problem.

  • Rik

    kitchen very well equipped with crockery, glasses etc. A couple more big saucepans would have been useful when cooking for 8, but this is a very minor point. Wood burner and record player made for a lovely lounge and bedrooms also comfortable with good bathrooms. Well situated and dog friendly. Spotlessly clean. Thanks
