The oldest purpose-built pub in the South West of England, dating from the 1400s - George & Pilgrims Hotel
History & Architecture
The George & Pilgrims Hotel was built in the 1400s by the Abbot of Glastonbury to house wealthy pilgrims. It holds the distinction of being the oldest purpose-built pub in the South West of England. The building retains its original panelled stone frontage, mullion windows, and old oak beams.
Dining & Bar
The on-site restaurant serves fresh, homemade traditional British cuisine from an à la carte menu. The charming Pilgrim's bar offers a variety of traditional ales and local beverages. Guests also have access to a diverse dining experience with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients.
Rooms & Accommodations
All rooms are en-suite and include a TV and tea and coffee-making facilities. Some rooms feature impressively draped four-poster beds. Family rooms are available with extra beds upon request, and allergy-free rooms are offered for sensitive guests.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel sits centrally in Glastonbury, within walking distance of Glastonbury Abbey and Glastonbury Tor. Guests can also explore nearby natural attractions such as Wookey Hole Caves and Cheddar Gorge. The central location eliminates additional travel costs to major landmarks.
Family & Pet-Friendly Amenities
The hotel offers family rooms with extra beds and a kids' meal menu in the restaurant. Pets are welcome, and the hotel provides pet bowls. A picnic area and outdoor furniture are available for guests travelling with children or dogs.

“This is a truly historic gem, where the building itself tells tales of centuries past, especially evident in its characterful rooms and the unique alleyway bar. The genuine warmth of the staff and the prime location on the High Street make it an effortlessly convenient base for exploring Glastonbury. It's a place where history feels alive, offering a comforting stay rather than a modern gloss.”
