“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.”
