8 Owls B&B

Glastonbury|0.61km from Somerset Rural Life Museum
Stayed with my two children on a Saturday night. We used the check in details and our initial reaction to the accommodation was that it was wonderful. Very spacious, clean etc. The bathroom was a little disappointing with paint and a shower panel coming away from the wall. The kitchenette was well stocked with all you would need to cook meals for a longer stay (obviously minus the food). The trundle bed was a nice touch in the main 'loving' space. I've never stayed in Glastonbury before and it was somewhat of a last minute booking the Thursday before when I found a discount through booking.com. So I'll admit I didn't do thorough research of the area that the b&b is located in. (So taking some responsibility here). When we arrived I realised that it was literally right next to the Assembly Rooms (I had no idea what this building was used for), it was heaving outside the b&b entrance. I didn't think much of it as it looked like families - we went inside and I realised that the main bedroom window was situated right on the side of the alley next to the assembly rooms, again, I thought it would just be open during the day and that the massive amount of noise coming in to the room wouldn't be an issue. Until I saw a sign about an event that was taking place later that evening, so I did a quick Google and soon learned that a band or two were due to be playing that evening in the assembly rooms. From 8pm swaths of people were arriving. Loud, somewhat lairy and drunk. The window in the main bedroom has no purpose other than to block rain and wind. Every single thing taking place outside can be heard as though you are in the alley. The noise of drunken arguing, shouting, dogs barking etc went on til 1am at least. I may be wrong here, but I feel as though the owners should be making people aware either through their website (or third party websites) and when potential guests call to book a room that the b&b is situated next to a music venue. I also feel that some soundproofing and better quality windows wouldn't go a miss. My children and I barely slept. We then had to drag ourselves over to a pub to have breakfast (my fault for not checking that this would be the case, I just saw that breakfast was included and thought 'great'). I absolutely won't be returning, which is a shame as the accommodation itself is lovely, I just feel that there should be more transparency and communication regarding the neighboring buildings and what they are used for, particularly for family bookings.

The Redan Inn
4.3/550 Reviews
We stayed for one night b&b taking advantage of the tasting menu offer. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the pub had a real local feel and great atmosphere. The food was great and the five course menu was really six (if you include “snacks” which turned out to be a well laden deli board of salamis, ham, bread, cheese, olives for starters. Each of the other courses were generous portions (especially for a tasting menu), good quality and all really well presented. The room we stayed in was small but comfortable and clean with modern TV, tea, coffee, bottled water. The cooked breakfast the following morning rounded off a really pleasant overnight stay.
The Litton
4.6/553 Reviews
First off. Staff were lovely. Very professional and friendly. Nice room away from the restaurant so very quiet. Spacious shower room. Our little dog loved his treats and pawsecco. Stayed three nights and ate in restaurant. The whisky bar and sitting area was cosy especially when they lit the fire for us. Food good, breakfast very nice. Sausages offered to our little boy although I tended to share mine as the food was plentiful. Felt quite relaxed here with our little dog. Would definitely recommend.
Meare Manor
4.3/520 Reviews
The hotel is located on the side of the country road, not far from the farm, there is a green area, the sky is clear for a walk, the English countryside is infinite... The hotel owner is very simple and friendly, the hostess is not good at talking about the lack of detail, the breakfast is good... The nearby Wells Church is worth a visit...
