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.

Lesley a Pagan from Seattle, a long way from home

This place is amazing especially for the witchy minded. It is like a museum in itself and I spent an entire evening browsing and then picked a good book (over 1000 to choose from) to read. The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast delicious. I loved my room overlooking the Abbey and the bathtub very enjoyable. If I ever return I will definitely stay here again and I’m going home with great memories. Thanks

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!

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

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!
