Glastonbury festival! THE Glastonbury festival! A wonderland of music and good times down on the famous farm where every legend and A-lister has either played, or visited as a guest, or both. If you don’t want to camp with the rest of us, you’re gonna need some serious cash for that weekend, and advance booking too. Here are the best hotels near Glastonbury to choose from…
Glastonbury Festival is even bigger than what you see on the telly – with so many stages all hosting every kind of music you can imagine. But it is also more than just music, there’s spoken word and poetry, politics, comedy, talks and of course lots of food and drink.
Now I’m sure you’ll all be aware that you can camp on site at the festival, which can be part of the magic. Making friends with strangers, making memories with the friend you attend with the all night partying option available when you know your tent is only a walk away.
However, I can also see the allure of wanting to stay in one of the hotels near Glastonbury festival. You can all benefit from your own bathroom (dreams!), a place to wash and dry yourself, get changed, get a good night’s sleep and be refreshed for more musical mayhem the next day.
Whether you want to stay in an eco pod, prefer glamping to camping, want a home away from home, love staying above a pub restaurant or even a old manor house – Glastonbury has lots of interesting and quirky options for you to consider when deciding which hotels near Glastonbury festival are for you.
