The home

Character and practicality, over two floors

Welcome to our lovely one-bedroom home on charming 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 home is just a short stroll from Glastonbury's vibrant High Street, known for its independent shops, cafés and unique spiritual atmosphere. The town is steeped in history and legend, from the breathtaking views over the Somerset Levels at Glastonbury Tor to the peaceful gardens of Chalice Well and the fascinating ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, said to be linked to the legends of King Arthur.

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.
