Overview

Historic pet-friendly guesthouse across from the Abbey, with themed rooms, a 1000-book occult library, and a communal banquet-table breakfast.

Across from the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, the covenstead glastonbury occupies a former nunnery that later became the home of a practicing witch. Her seven-year tenure filled the building with pagan artifacts, witchcraft curiosities, and occult objects. Over 1000 books on magic and myth line the communal shelves. The covenstead offers themed guest rooms equipped with smart speakers, flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms with either a bathtub or a separate walk-in shower. Tea and coffee-making facilities are standard. A sun terrace, a shared lounge, and a courtyard garden with a hammock provide spaces for quiet reading or conversation. Breakfast is served at a single long banquet table, where guests order from a menu of Full English, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free selections, all cooked fresh. Dietary needs are met without advance notice. The evening hours often find guests gathered around the billiards table or exploring the collection of curiosities. The covenstead glastonbury provides daily housekeeping, luggage storage, parking on site, and flexible late checkout upon request. Well-behaved pets are accepted. The property is entirely non-smoking. Guests can borrow books from the occult library, use the shared lounge, or take a short walk to the High Street's shops and restaurants. Covenstead Glastonbury is a two-minute walk from Glastonbury Abbey. Wookey Hole Caves is a 20-minute drive, and Cheddar Gorge is 30 minutes away. Bristol Airport is 17 miles from the property, Bath 22 miles, and Cardiff 30 miles.
