The home

A characterful Somerset cottage for couples and solo travellers

Welcome to our one-bedroom holiday cottage on Magdalene Street, a comfortable retreat in the heart of Glastonbury. Thoughtfully arranged over two floors, the space pairs character with practicality: a cosy living room for unwinding after a day of exploring, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area for relaxed meals, and a bright double bedroom upstairs for a restful night's sleep. There's also a bathroom upstairs and a private outdoor deck, ideal for a morning coffee or a quiet evening looking up at the stars.

The cottage is a short stroll from Glastonbury's High Street, known for its independent shops, cafés and unique spiritual atmosphere. The town is steeped in history and legend, from the views over the Somerset Levels at Glastonbury Tor to the peaceful gardens of Chalice Well and the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, said to be linked to the legends of King Arthur — and the Abbey's entrance is a minute from our front door.

And, of course, this is the Glastonbury that lends the world's most famous festival its name. The Festival site is a ten-minute drive away, with the local bus stop for services out to it just a minute's walk from the front door, so you can spend the day in the fields and come back to a proper bed, a hot shower and a quiet street.

Location

Close to Glastonbury's attractions, and to the Festival

No. 48 Magdalene Street sits a short stroll from Glastonbury's High Street, known for its independent shops, cafés and unique spiritual atmosphere. The entrance to Glastonbury Abbey is a minute away; Chalice Well Gardens and the climb up Glastonbury Tor are a walk across town.

It is also a rare thing in festival week: a real home in Glastonbury itself. The Festival site is a ten-minute drive, and the local bus stop for services heading out to it is a minute's walk from the door, so there is no camping, no queueing for a shower and no long haul back at the end of the night.

Questions guests ask

Dogs, parking, festival week and how booking works.

Is No. 48 Magdalene Street a dog-friendly holiday cottage?

Yes. Pets are welcome at No. 48 Magdalene Street, so it works well as a dog-friendly holiday let in central Glastonbury. There is a private outdoor deck at the back and open countryside on the edge of town for walks. Please mention your dog when you book through Airbnb.

How far is the cottage from the Glastonbury Festival site?

The Glastonbury Festival site at Worthy Farm, Pilton, is about a ten-minute drive from the cottage. The local bus stop for services running out towards the site is roughly a minute's walk from the front door, so festival-goers can stay in central Glastonbury rather than camping. There is more on this on our Glastonbury Festival 2027 accommodation page.

Can I book No. 48 Magdalene Street for Glastonbury Festival 2027?

Yes. Glastonbury Festival 2027 accommodation in the town itself is limited and books a long way ahead, so it is worth checking dates as early as you can. Availability and pricing for festival week are handled through Airbnb.

How many people does the cottage sleep?

The cottage sleeps two guests in one double bedroom, which makes it well suited to couples on a romantic short break and to solo travellers visiting Glastonbury.

Is there parking at the Glastonbury holiday cottage?

There is free on-street parking near the cottage. As with any central Glastonbury location, spaces are not reserved and can be busier at peak times such as festival week and school holidays.

What is there to do near the cottage in Glastonbury?

Glastonbury Abbey is a minute's walk from the door and the High Street with its independent shops and cafés is a short stroll away. Chalice Well Gardens are about ten minutes' walk across town, with Glastonbury Tor roughly fifteen minutes to the foot of the hill. Wells, Street, the Somerset Levels and Cheddar Gorge are all easy day trips — our first-visit guide maps out an unhurried couple of days.

What time is check-in and checkout?

Check-in is from 16:00 and checkout is by 11:00. Entry is by lockbox, so you can let yourself in whenever your journey gets you to Glastonbury — including late arrivals back from the festival fields.
