Cottage Description

Positioned not far from the historic site of Glastonbury, this Grade II listed medieval hamstone cottage has one bedroom but has enough room up to sleep up to four people.

The origins of this property can be traced back to the 16th century and it is every bit worth its weight in heritage. It has been a kitchen, poor house and even a jail! It has a medieval feel to it and whilst maintaining its character it does not feel like an out of date property.

The bedroom has a double four poster bed and there is a sofa bed for additional guests. The bathroom has a free-standing copper bath and there is a Victorian range in the living room. The property has exposed beams and stone walls as well as flagstone floors that are a testament to its history.
