    This place is a real gem! I loved chilling in the cozy bar and wandering through the enchanting garden area, making it feel like a mini escape. The only hiccup was some noise from nearby rooms, but it didn't dampen my awesome experience! ✨

    We had a lovely stay at George & Pilgrims Hotel! The room was charming, featuring a four-poster bed that added a touch of magic to our visit. The breakfast was hearty and delicious, with friendly staff ensuring everything was to our liking. The location in the heart of Glastonbury made it easy to explore the local shops and attractions. The historical ambiance of the hotel truly enhances the experience.

    atmospheric hotel
    limited dining options

    We had a lovely stay exploring Glastonbury, and the atmosphere of the hotel really added to our experience. My granddaughter particularly enjoyed the cozy bar area, where we shared some delightful teas together.

    In my wife’s opinion, it would be great to have more family-friendly dining options available.

    character building
    top-notch breakfast

    Had an amazing time with friends! We visited the abbey and explored the local shops. The character of the building is incredible and the breakfast was top-notch. Just a heads up, the stairs are narrow and there’s no lift, but that’s part of the charm. Staff were welcoming and made the stay enjoyable. Definitely recommend staying here!

    The decor exuded historical charm, making me feel like royalty in this whimsical old inn, with wide staircases that added character yet remained manageable for us seniors!

    History with a twist

    The vibe here is really something else! You can feel the history everywhere, especially in those street-facing rooms. The beers and ciders were on point, and I totally loved the food! One small hitch, though—service was a bit slow at check-in, which was kinda annoying after a long drive.

    Perfect for a historic stay

    The atmosphere was incredible really felt like I stepped back in time with every creak of the floorboards and the friendly staff were more than welcoming always ready to help with a smile I appreciated that genuinely made the stay special.

    Didn't come cheap but it was still reasonable enough given the charm.

    sunday roast
    scrumptious breakfast
    prime location
    tedious check-in
    missing details

    The Sunday Roast in the pub downstairs was a top-notch delight, a true chunk of culinary heaven! Breakfast was just as scrumptious, making mornings a joy. The location on the high street couldn’t be beaten for popping into local shops and pubs.

    Check-in was a bit of a faff, with the card machine out of commission and our details missing from the system.

    Unique medieval vibes with a charming four-poster room. Limited parking options can be tricky. Affordable public car park behind hotel is a plus. Breakfast options were tasty, with a cozy atmosphere downstairs.

    scrumptious eggs benedict

    Had an unforgettable two-night stay in a quirky four-poster room, filled with history and character. Highlights included the scrumptious eggs benedict for breakfast and the charming ambiance throughout. The public car park right behind the hotel made parking a breeze.

    Felt like a true getaway, nothing too much trouble.
