The Covenstead

Oh dear. I don't know where to start. I'll try... Parking was full. Righto. Parked on a side street, which I hate. Locking the room was an intelligence test in itself, one which we failed. Breakfast was promised to be something special, but it was really wasn't. The worst part is that they hide the cheapest supermarket budget brown sauce, the gloopy, glossy stuff, inside an HP bottle, like no-one would notice. For a premium price of £189 a night, this is just cheaping out, badly. But the best is that we were cleared out of the garden at 22.15, because, 'You can't use the garden after 10pm'. This new, apparently invented-on-the spot by-law, was applied to use relaxing quietly, with music playing at volume 1 of 10, on the hottest day of the year. It was also the longest day and we were told multiple times that there would be drumming all night due the solstice festivities, all in party-town Glastonbury. But, stay out of the garden after 10...absolutely diabolical. I could not recommend this place, absolutely not.

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 ;)

We loved our stay here. The owner gave us such a kind welcome, the staff were wonderful, breakfast excellent. The decor is incredible but most of all - there is a very warm and kind energy about the place. It is now my favourite Glastonbury accommodation. Thank you Tony, Emma et al. Jo and Adrian.

My husband and I could never have hoped for such a warm luxurious and unique experience Our host made us feel special and our beautiful room brought tears to my eyes Added to all of this was a wonderful breakfast in the most unique of settings I can not wait to go back, we will be regulars Thank you

The legendary former owner, created an exotic decor adorned to the brim with an eclectic mix of international Boho art and artefacts. She has imbued the building's interior with an ambience of a free spirited, sensual world, creating a destination in its own right. Tony and crew provide a personable service rarely found in the UK nowadays. Tailored breakfasts, first rate coffee, a convivial dining experience with fellow guests, mostly, returning faithfuls. Already reviewing the diary for a revisit.

As returning guests to the Covenstead we were still blown away by this amazing magical place. Great central location to explore all that Glastonbury has to offer. The room we stayed in had great facilities and views of the tor and abbey over the road. The bed offered the best sleep we've had in years. And as for the the decor, truly breathtaking array of mystical, esoteric and witchy to keep you enthralled. But for us the hosts are the key to the Covenstead, from the moment we arrived they were so friendly, happy and helpful that you really do not want to leave. Without question the breakfast in the grand dining room was another highlight, great food and great conversation with fellow guests and the hosts. All in all we would highly recommend The Covenstead to anyone, regardless of beliefs that wants to have a magical stay at a unique B+B.
