It was very well equipped, even Nespresso capsules provided, loads of games available and spacious, also clean. I really would ignore some of the previous negative comments, some people will pick faults in anything.

Good location, a few minutes walk downhill into Glastonbury to the abbey, shops and eating places. Also a good centre - easy to get to Wells (with its lovely cathedral) by bus and we enjoyed walking in the wetlands nature reserves in the Somerset Levels. Don't miss Roger Wilkins Cider Barn! We thought the cottage itself was fine. We identified one minor repair needed (bathroom door), which the owner promised to fix between lets. Our favourite thing was sitting in the garden over dinner in the evenings, with a view of the Tor and listening to the owls hooting. Magical.

The most uncomfortable beds we've ever experienced in a holiday let. Cheap mattresses well past their best. Three adults in our mid thirties and none of us slept well waking up with back and neck pain. We actually left a day early as we couldn't face another night on them. Bearing in mind this holiday let is not at all cheap, the house is tired and in serious need of some TLC. Shabby furniture, damage to the kitchen worksurfaces. Cheap uncomfortable sofas in the lounge. TV worked intermittently. Cracks in the plaster/paintwork throughout the property. A large dirty mark on the dining room wall where there perhaps used to be a picture frame, now just broken picture hooks. Wheely bins were already full when we arrived, presumably from previous guests. No bin bags provided. No welcome pack whatsoever. Garden was functional but scruffy. On the plus side, plenty of space for our party (three adults and four kids). Nice location in Glastonbury. Plenty of kit in the well equipped kitchen. Overall would not recommend.
