We have been to Glastonbury many times & have camped on the other side of town. For this trip our son was only 13months old & I was 7 months pregnant so we decided to find alternative accomadation.. what a find this was! Jim & Julie & Jims brother Andy were all so welcoming, the cottage itself had everything we needed and we knew all we needed to do was ask if we needed anything else. The Tor is right in front of the door to the cottage but the best view is from the bedroom where a charming window frames it perfectly. We highly recomend this to couples, couples with kids, couples with friends... its a great place to stay, we will be back :) |
