mixed feelings at THE house

small sink repaired door

the location was close to tourist spots.

my ensuite bathroom had problems. the door looked repaired and opened outward, meaning no proper lock. the sink was tiny, and i struggled to fill the kettle. i heard the neighboring toilet each morning at 7 am.

Super stay in a lovely house

I found the house very super clean and cozy. 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.

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.
