My wife and i stayed in room 4 for a couple of nights.The room was spotlessly clean, and we both found it to be so peaceful and relaxing, Tina was an excellent hostess who was so friendly and welcoming.The cost of the stay was extremely affordable, and parking was close by in a good neighbourhood, literally just around the corner from Glastonbury's high street.We highly recommend Pilgrims of the goddess and would be more than happy to rebook the next time we visit this beautiful town.

I stayed in Room 4 with my friend and Hoai-Lihn and staff were so accommodating. Everyone was extremely friendly and kind, my favourite Goddess was pictured outside our hotel room. They added an extra bed in for us and provided things like filtered water, tea, coffee, oat milk patches, towels. We had such a brilliant stay, it felt relaxing and like a really warm and welcoming environment. Would 10/10 recommend and stay again!Thank you so much for having us xxx

Found this Gem of a place was concerned about it being at the lower price end but that was soon dispelled as you enter. What a fabulous place, my room was spotless and cosy. Although this room was not on suit the room was at the end of the landing with the bathroom next to it, it was large and spotless. The breakfast was self service cereal and milks of you choice plus a fridge and cupboards to store you own food. Location is a 4 minute walk to the high street. If great place great location. I also managed to park outside for free.

Very much recommended and an easy five stars 😎 5*****

The Garden Room I was in is peaceful, no TV but it's good to sit still and do nothing for a while.The garden is a good place to relax.I managed to get parked outside and its a short walk into town.Tina is fantastic, my love goes out to her.A spiritual being, we need more like her in the world.Had a Reiki session with her, she managed to open my chakras (Not an easy feat.)If you need to recharge your energy this is definitely the place to come.

I stayed in the accommodation in the Pilgrims of the Goddess for 5 days in September 2023. The room was described as a quiet place. However, it was not. It was on the first floor and there were rooms on the second floor as well as communal area and kitchen on the ground floor. At the same time as me there was a group of tourists with their team leaders of about 13 people from another country occupying the rooms on the second floor of the building.From 7am lots of noise from other guests, mainly due to the layout and location of the rooms in the building and the guests being inconsiderate. That could be as late as 10pm, which include talking, opening and closing the doors, the floorboards above made loud and made crackling noise, not the ideal place for rest.Guests congregated outside the building beneath the windows of the room, talking loudly.The hostess could not run the business effectively. She offered a refund for me for the remaining days to move out, which I did, though I couldn’t find alternative accommodation immediately. However, with her offer, she left unpleasant review of myself on the Airb&b review website, through which I booked this room.Airb&b , being a scam in many ways, offered no resolution to the issue and don’t uphold the ethics of hospitality practice. If the landlords misrepresent the listing, the Airb&b customer services will make you feel guilty for complaining, profiting at the same time from your reservation fees.

Outstanding in every way. Wonderful host, immaculate rooms and cabins plus private facilities. We cannot fault this place on any level. It's a true five star service with a beautiful atmosphere. Our host was so attentive to our requirements and the little extras were a delight. You really must try this place..you'd be rewarded with a beautiful experience. Would totally recommend :)

I remember I had almost given up finding a place in Glastonbury when Tina rang me and offered me a room at her place. I lived there for a couple of months before I found my own apartment. I met a lot of lovely people there and Tina and her team are also very friendly and helpful.Thank you Tina for your support. Wishing you all the best.
