The Covenstead

Loved the interior space and room.

Friendly, efficient staff. Quiet area and in a great location. Brilliant breakfast. Highly recommended.

One night stay for a birthday trip to Glastonbury and Wells. Stayed in the Halloween room....an amazing experience! The entire guest house is a feast for the senses, there's so much to take in. Lovely warm and friendly staff who couldn't have made us any more welcome. A superb breakfast in the most stunning dining room complete with gothic seating, candles, coffee and a vampire slaying kit. The most memorable b&B stay we've ever had. We're already planning a return visit!

THE COVENSTEAD Glastonbury Tony, the charismatic Owner of The Covenstead already has a devoted following and stellar Reviews that testify to the magical escape he offers Guests who enter that enchanted wonderland that is The Covenstead. There is simply nowhere like it on Earth and I count myself lucky to have spent time there. In this age of commonplace, corporate hotels, The Covenstead is absolutely unique. It is a treasure-trove of all things Pagan, Peculiar, Witchery and Wonderful on a prodigious scale. Every inch of space is crammed with Fascination. Every room - bedchambers, parlour and dining-salon - is captivating. In sheer contrast to the otherworldly, spellbinding ambiance of The Covenstead, Tony and his Staff are down to earth, warm and welcoming and full of vitality. One of the Pleasures of staying at The Covenstead is being part of The Covenstead Family. Tony and Staff have mastered the art of true hospitality; being friendly and engaging, yet remaining professional and courteous and attending smoothly to all the tasks that ensure a Guest has a wonderful and memorable stay. The breakfasts at Tony's are simply the best I have ever had. The delightful menu of juices, hot drinks, croissants and fruits followed by a perfectly cooked and stylishly presented scrumptious main course is enhanced by the pleasure of all Guests sitting round a long baronial dining-table so they can enjoying socialising. The Covenstead is the sort of place that draws together kindred spirits from across the globe and international travellers are frequent Guests here. It is true that Glastonbury is a place of pilgrimage with Old World and New Age attractions, but it is most often observed by Tony's Guests, that visiting Glastonbury and not staying at The Covenstead would be a somewhat hollow experience. It was a pleasure on this trip, to see Tony, Donna and Beth again and also to meet Emma, the newest recruit who was a joyful, perfect fit with the divinely decadent ethos of The Covenstead.

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!

One of the best ways to visit Glastonbury 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.
