10 out of 10 for ALL the things: fastidious service, friendly staff, super cool-vibe, gorgeous rooms, best breakfast! You’ll never see a more intricately themed B&B…you get transported to another place and time of magic and pagan wildness! And I can’t leave out how fun it was to meet new interesting people every morning seated at the (most incredible) dining table. Thanks to Tony, Freya, Donna, Adele for your amazing service!

Fascinating Gem in Glastonbury
The Covenstead is a most unusual and lovely place to stay in heart of Glastonbury close to the Abbey ruins. The hotel is furnished with a unique and fascinating collection of antiques and artifacts throughout, and guests have access to several common areas on the ground floor as well as a pretty garden. Individual rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The friendly staff are most welcoming and work very hard to accommodate guests needs, as well as serve breakfasts perfectly prepared to individual tastes. A truly magical place to stay!

A Fascinating Gem in Glastonbury
The Covenstead may be the very best B&B I have stayed in over 40 years and many trips to the U.K. Not only is hotel’s interior decor absolutely fascinating, its rooms are beautiful, spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable. Staff are most welcoming and work very hard to accommodate guests needs, as well as serve perfectly prepared individualized breakfasts. A most unusual and wonderful place to stay!

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.

Impressive rooms and welcoming staff. Even offered to use free passes to visit abbey. Wish I had more time there to savour all the artifacts amoungst the property. Didn't expect to have a view of the tor from the bedroom what a great stay.

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.

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!

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.

Wonderful B&B full of fantastic curiosities and artifacts, you could spend days here and still find something new. We received a warm welcome along with our Westie on arrival and a quick tour before settling into the beautiful Handfasting bedroom with its four poster bed and huge bathroom. Such a warm comfortable space. Breakfast was plentiful and lovingly prepared. Highly recommend. Great location right on the High Street but just out from the bustle.
