Influenced by its proximity to Glastonbury and its witchcraft myths and Arthurian legends (five miles from the town centre) and set on a powerful ley line, this home's defining characteristic is quirk, from the architectural details that resemble enchanted oak trees to the dedicated midnight badger-watching spot in the garden. However, while most esoteric accommodation tends to the tumbledown end of the rustic spectrum, this unusual abode is practically palatial. Originally a cottage dating back to 1580, it’s been substantially extended to add luxury bed-and-bath spaces – the master is our favourite, with its cocktail balcony and freestanding bath – and a cinema room, with underfloor heating, surround sound, and a striking constellation ceiling with more than a thousand stars. Outside, a hot tub is the perfect spot to unwind after a stroll through the surrounding countryside. If you're staying for Glastonbury, a special festival package that includes free Sunday tickets can be arranged ahead of time. Your hosts can provide a welcome hamper full of locally sourced snacks, elderflower and still water upon request, or if you’re planning...

About Glastonbury

Few places announce themselves quite like Glastonbury. The Tor rises from the Somerset Levels like a beacon, its stone tower visible for miles and impossible to ignore – and it's just the beginning.
