“Steeped in history as the oldest purpose-built pub in the South West, this property immediately strikes one as unique, though some aspects require updates. I noticed the blend of period architecture and modern amenities create a distinctive atmosphere, placing guests within steps of Glastonbury's famed Abbey and Tor. For those drawn to historic charm and local culture, it offers a very particular experience.”
