The George and Pilgrim is a stunning building and a vital part in Glastonbury's history. My partner and I loved the four poster bed. Our room over looked the high street, so it was nice to peolpe watch on occasion. The room had everything you would expect tea and coffee wise. There was a TV, should we wish to use it. The level of cleanliness was quite acceptable. The breakfast menu was really good, and what we had was well executed. The staff were really nice, especially the swedish girl.

The carpet was old and wrinkled up in some areas, so perhaps a new one would greatly improve a tired looking decor. The sealant in the bathroom is ready for romoving and re-sealing as there was quite a bit of discolouration. This made it look quite tatty. With this in mind, I do feel that the room was a little over priced.

Originally built in 1439 (according to Wikipedia), the Inn is an historic marvel. Our room was comfortable and clean. It seems like, at some point (100 years ago?) they installed indoor plumbing and converted two bedrooms into one bedroom with a private bath (I'm just guessing). Of course, with a building so old, the floors aren't quite level, and our room was a bit small (but not bad). That being said, the location is great. We enjoyed our drinks and meals. The back of the hotel opens to the convenient St. Johns Parking Lot. That is where you should park.

I have just enjoyed an absolutely fabulous 4 night stay at George & Pilgrims Hotel. The staff are all amazing, super friendly, helpful & efficient. My luggage was carried to my room for me up 2 flights of stairs to Henry VIII ( room 6) My room was very cosy & the bed was incredibly comfortable. Shower was great too. The food was outstanding! Generous portion sizes, very hot & fresh. The history of the building seeps from every wall, incredibly atmospheric yet cosy at the same time. The staff definitely made my trip super special with their kindness & attention to detail. Many thanks to you all!!

Leaving 😭☹

No repair!!!

The George & Pilgrim dates back to the 1400’s so you’re not going to find everything 100% perfect & up to date technology! What you will find is a comfortable, clean & friendly environment, bang in the centre of everything & character to die for.

My friend & I stayed Friday to Sunday & sadly, rising a little late towards the latter end of the breakfast shift, they’d run out of bacon. Not the end of the world because they happily made up with extra sausage. We had no complaints to be honest but this box needed filling in & this was the “worst” thing to happen all weekend!!

Beautiful building, perfect location, and a car park right behind the building ( free disabled parking). The staff are funny and were very kind, even though they were really busy ! We stayed in the Abborts room, and the bed was comfortable. The room was a little worse for wear. It had character ( is 15th century) and could do with a bit of an update of furnishings etc and at one point the roof started leaking 😁. If you want a genuine historical, glastonbury experience- this is the place 👌

really lovely old building,great location and friendly helpful staff.

this is the first hotel I’ve ever stayed in that hasn’t got it own car park,which I did know when I booked ,pay and display car park is only 1 minute away however don’t forget at 9 o’clock each morning to renew your payment we got £50 fine at 9-15 as we forgot,the traffic wardens are out to get you as soon as they can…

Historical building and location

Booking.com platform was hacked and I received a number of scam messages purporting to be from hotel asking me to verify credit card. Some bore full Booking.com headers, booking reference and other details. Msg informed me if I did not do this verification process my booking would be cancelled. I did not do so as hotel would not address customer in that way, apart from no good reason for doing so.

The staff made our stay. Special mention to Julie & Leon in the bar. Wren and Trish at Breakfast and Jack who seemed to be everywhere. Our housekeeper was also super kind and helpful but we didn't get her name. The hotel is super clean, the food for me was top notch and position of the hotel couldn't be better. Parking was also easy.

2 members of our party had some mobility issues. This was a slight problem as all of the flooring was uneven (due to the age of the hotel), and there wasn't a lift. The stairs were steep, and the handrail was very low, making coming down the stairs difficult. We did get help taking cases upstairs by the incredibly helpful staff. We had two rooms, only one had a walk-in shower. Please bear this in mind when booking.

The room was extremely charming being small without suffocating and cozy without feeling like you were being swallowed whole. The huge wooden beam running the length of the ceiling was extremely comforting and the window, although small, helped maintain the sense of privacy. Also the slight slant in the bathroom due to the ancient age of the property was genuinely fun, highly recommend socks for maximum slide.

It was a shame that there seemed to have been a couple of staff missing leaving remaining staff to scrabble a bit, despite obviously being quite over-worked they were really friendly, willing to help and nothing was too much to ask. They were trying really, really hard.
