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.

Gerry was the perfect host, friendly and made sure everything was perfect for us. The house was lovely, the bedroom and bed very comfortable and we had access to the kitchen for teas and coffees at any time, as well as a lovely morning breakfast.

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.

GlastonGerry!

Gerry was a natural host. Knowledgeable of the local area and offered some great tips. Easy parking, great breakfast and cosy comfy room, with a stylish, newly refurbished private bathroom. We would definitely recommend.
