Covenstead is my preferred place to stay in Glastonbury. It's interior is so unique and a perfect fit for eclectic eccentricity of the town with a great back story too. The rooms spacious & comfortable with nice sized bathrooms plus daily service. Being opposite the Abbey and minutes walking to the High Street it's also a perfect location. Breakfast is unsurpassable with such great menu choices, beautiful cooking and the wonderful staff who can't be more helpful. It is worth every penny and makes any trip to Glastonbury special.

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.

This was by far the best experience I have ever had at a B & B. I absolutely loved everything about it. The breakfasts were excellent, the furnishings are gorgeous, the other guests were fascinating to talk with. I have never felt so comfortable and relaxed away from home. Tony is an excellent host and really made us feel well cared for. I hope to visit The Covenstead again someday. It was truly magical! There is no place like it anywhere!

This was an all around amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend everyone book this place if you can. Homemade breakfast cooked to order was the best we've had in all of the UK. Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable and clean. Everything you'd need and want in a 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.
