    Room was sheer luxury. Loved the deep bathtub, the entire suite. I loved the Gothic feel of the house plus the design and history. I made some friends during my one-night stay. Tony is an excellent host.

    Great location, wonderfully quirky. More Dennis Wheatley or Aleister Crowley than JK Rowling IMHO (if you know, you know!) Very interesting :-)

Property info

A warm and friendly welcome awaits you at The Covenstead. All rooms have been individually designed and have ensuite bathrooms. It is an amazing, magical place to stay when you visit Glastonbury. The impressive building is listed, quite grand and full of curiosities and copious books on magic, myth and legend. Our location is perfect, it's on the main street with beautiful views onto the Abbey ruins, within walking distance of shops, pubs and restaurants, and just far enough away to not be too noisy to relax. We also serve a mean breakfast, catering for vegetarians, vegans and gluten intolerant guests. Glastonbury has been a place of pilgrimage and spirituality for centuries and attracts visitors of all faiths and none. With its eclectic High Street crowded with independent shops & cafes, picturesque Abbey ruins and, of course, the Tor, there is much to do and see in Glastonbury whatever the weather.
