Hotels near RSPB Ham Wall, Meare

Great historic building the tor was great but the food at the pilgrims was shocking! We stayed 2 nights and they ran out of food both nights. The local curry restaurant was amazing but you can’t eat curry for breakfast lunch & dinner. The room we stayed in was called the nuns room and for some reason as the night progressed it became increasingly hot! The building is old so no air con but fans were provided. Friendly staff and very welcoming people all around Glastonbury. The locals are amazing definitely would recommend visiting but unfortunately I won’t be returning.

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.

My third visit here - this time a pure luxury treat to myself. I cannot fault Covenstead - everything is perfect to me. I love 'my' room, the staff could not be more helpful and the breakfast...! I love the fact that there is a kitchenette with microwave etc so you can make a snack if you like, and the provision of candles and incense in all rooms is fun. Even bubble bath is provided. Just my favourite hotel ever in the whole world! Oh - and from the front there is a beautiful view over the abbey grounds!

The only hotel in the town, the country is as usual, and foreigners live more.

Poor quality of food, lukewarm dishes,items missing from menu description, dirty cutlery. This is such a shame as we have used this pub for years and had excellent food but since the change in management standards have plummeted. We tried just after the change and it was poor but put this down to getting sorted, however 3 months down the line and it’s actually worse.paid extra £2 for a mixed meat roast but why? Only had 1 slice of pork and 1 slice of beef, others on our table had 2 slices of meat of their choice so why the difference in price when I got nothing extra. Manager just shrugged and said yeah, we’ve had a few complaints about that so I’ll pass it onto head office.we used to have pudding, coffee and another drink but chose to leave and have coffee and cake elsewhere and unfortunately will not be going back again.I hate to see pubs close and try and support where I can but still expect to receive a lot better than what we got
