Truely wonderful place to stay

This is a truely amazing place to stay. The decor is amazing, staff are wonderful and location is fantastic. We stayed 4 nights and loved everything about the place, breakfast is amazing (and staff super accommodating with different ‘off menu’ requests) and access to a mini kitchen also made life much easier for grabbing a coffee of storing a beer during the day :) Will absolutely be making a return visit and almost hesitant to give a good review as it may make getting a room even harder ;)

Absolutely stunning hotel, fascinating decor and wonderful location. Staff were friendly and helpful, allowed us to check in slightly before time and gave us a guided tour of the wonderful premises. The room was fantastic, clean and interesting decor, the bed was soft and comfortable. Overall had a great experience and would highly recommend the covenstead.

What was unique about the property?? Pretty much everything! Loved the overall decor and vibe. It felt very much like home and I had the sense of the house being very much a sanctuary from the outside world. The staff were incredibly friendly, fun and helpful, to say nothing of the great breakfasts, that everyone raves about (quite rightly!). We loved everything about our stay and will be back!

Wow. Where to begin? We just spent a magical four nights in this amazing place. We felt so welcomed by the wonderful staff and enjoyed the very homey, witchy feel of the place. Didn't want to leave! The breakfast was super delicious and we very much enjoyed the garden. The other guests were fun to talk to, as the people that are drawn to this place are certainly unique. The decor is fascinating and mesmerizing. We could have spent weeks exploring it all. We cannot recommend this place more highly and we can't wait to return! Thank you Covestead and staff for the beautiful energy and amazing 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

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!
