This is a spacious property, with a bright and airy kitchen, dining area and living room making time spent there enjoyable. The property has easy parking. The view to Glastonbury Tor towards the back of the property is delightful. Jon and Linda were very accommodating hosts eager to make visitors welcome and comfortable. Although a small village, Shapwick has a bus service that proves helpful....

This was a very comfortable and well cared for property and is very close to the wonders of Avalon Marshes, as well as close to Wells, Glastonbury and Bath.

We felt truly refreshed from the experience of staying here! ...
