Where to stay
Which part of Glastonbury to stay in
Although there is now a new Travelodge just out of town, your best bet is one of the numerous bed and breakfasts, ranging in price and quality markedly. The Overlook, right on the High Street, above the stationers is of particular note, as is Number Three (Number Three is closed), both in walking distance of the main shops and sights. There are 34 other bed and breakfast establishments in Glastonbury and it is best to look for the ones that are rated 4-star by Visit Britain and Quality in Tourism, especially AppleTree House and Parsnips Bed and Breakfast.

Drink
Although there are a number of pubs in Glastonbury, the "proper English" pubs are found in Wells (20 min bus ride away). Once in Wells, the Rose and Crown and the City Arms are both nice pubs for a drink. The Rose and Crown has a pool table, so you can have a lovely game of pool whilst sampling some great local ales.
