I enjoyed my stay at the Willow. Gerry made me very welcome and was so helpful with directions and an information pack about Glastonbury in the room was available. I had everything I needed and breakfast was great. The bed was comfortable and the area quiet. Short walk in to town and I could park right outside his house. Would definitely book here again.

A lovely stay. Thank you.

Gerry our extremely amenable and courteous host ensured our brief stay ( two nights ) was absolutely zero stress. Gerry went above and beyond even providing soft/medium/hard pillows for preference. The garden is a tranquil space well tended flowers and bushes and the commanding giant willow. The property boasts all the mod cons, highly recomended.
