Super stay in a lovely house

clean house
I found the house very nice and neat. The location is great to visit Glastonbury Tor and Chalice Well Gardens. I appreciated the warm welcome from Julian. He. The house has a beautiful garden. I enjoyed sit on the front lawn. The breakfast was ok with a good variety.
The photos on the website didn't do justice to how basic the set up was. I felt that a more honest advertising would be better. The bathroom was cramped. the beds were the most cheap springy basic mattress.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel includes a garden area with seating, where guests relax. A kitchen and lounge are available for all guests, with breakfast options and gluten-free food selections. This creates a comfortable experience.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast included a selection of cereals, breads, dairy products, teas, coffees, and juices. The presentation was beautiful with lush crockery and table dressing. The dining space was bright and spotlessly clean.
