Fodor's Expert Review Melrose House

Superbly situated at the base of Glastonbury Tor, this elegant B&B on the edge of town is surrounded by lush gardens with far-reaching views over the Vale of Avalon. The bright and spacious guest rooms come with well-equipped bathrooms supplied with luxury toiletries and the fluffiest of towels, and offer views up to the Tor, over the lawned gardens, or across the Vale. Breakfast served in the slate-floored kitchen-diner includes housemade bread and home-produced eggs. Modern self-catering accommodation is also available, with garden access. The house lies less than a 15-minute walk from the town center, and you can start your ascent of Glastonbury Tor directly from the garden gate.
