Chestnuts is a lovely place with modern features and a delightful breakfast…read more We chose Chestnuts because it was within easy walking distance to the Glastonbury Tor. We came to see the sunrise at 4:50 am on the solstice. It was a moving experience. Duncan was coming back from the market with fresh bakery bread and fruit for breakfast when we walked back from seeing the sunrise. Breakfast was ready after we showered. After breakfast we walked down the hill to meet friends. Pearl has a lot of suggestions for where to go and what to see. Chestnuts has an excellent location for walking. It's 2 blocks to the odd little shops. All the mystical stuff from King Arthur and Mists of Avalon are within a mile: the Chalice Well, the Glastonbury Abby, King Arthur and Queen Guinevere's tomb. From here you could drive to see Stonehenge and Avebury in a day. My wife wants me to mention that we had our best showers here of our 2 week stay in the UK.

They went out of their way to run me into town when I was running late for my conference and the breakfast was everything delicious that you can imagine such as fresh juices, toast, eggs, ham or smoked salmon, fresh berries, yogurts, cereal or granola. Oh and don't forget coffee or tea. It was a real treat to stay at their B&B and I'd do it again.

Berachach guest house is located just across the street from the beautiful Chalice Well gardens…read more You may not know it but Berachach was built on the location of Dion Fortune's temple. For info, Dion Fortune is one of the greatest figures of the Occult. The view from the breakfast is absolutely stunning. The room was comfortable enough with ensuite bathroom but it was quite damp. The breakfast was ok but if you are looking for a full English, pass your way. The hostess was quite rude and I didn't receive a very warm welcome. I would recommend it just on a pure location basis.

After some dubious reviews on another review site we visited the Wessex with some concern, but were…read morepleasantly surprised. (we learned it's recently come under new ownership/management). Staff were friendly, welcoming and genuinely couldn't do enough for you. The public rooms (except reception) may look dated, but the rooms all of our party had were pretty new and well equipt. The food was average, but plentiful and more than acceptable. All in all: £198 for 2 for 3 nights bed, breakfast and dinner was a good deal.
