I liked the friendliness and approachability of Justin. Professional and homely in one. The choice of bread and toppings was satisfactory. Especially when we understood that the content in the fridge was for us to use (and not other residents').
Nothing.

We stayed as a group of six for Glastonbury carnival. Let’s be honest it’s not perfect, it’s not luxury but it had everything we needed , clean , tidy , comfy beds . And the best bit is Julian the host what an amazing guy , Warm welcome , went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed . And fresh bread made for breakfast . 20min walk into Glastonbury town .

My brother and I absolutely loved this place!! Julian is one of the nicest hosts I’ve ever had. The accommodation is absolutely stunning.
We were driving so getting there was very easy, but then we also realized it was very walkable from Glastonbury center and to The Tor as well which it was our first reason to visit this beautiful town.
Our room was super cozy and comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and everything was clean and in great condition.
The house itself is big, clean and stocked with all you could need. Something to highlight is the great sense of peace and harmony you can feel while being in there at all times.
We loved everything about it.

Julian was the most amazing host. I loved the house, it feels like home. We enjoyed the kitchen a lot because we gathered there, we cooked breakfast (the food was organic), we met other people, and felt like a big family.
It's very close to Tor and the Chalice well. We walked to get there.
Also, the town is around 20 minutes walk but very enjoyable.

Phoenix Rise is a massive rambling house, run as an open access, 'be at home' place - slightly like a commune. Our room was small, but very comfortable, the garden and communal areas were really nice, and breakfast a 'help yourself to what's there' affair (excellent bread and eggs magically appear overnight, probably gathered by the breakfast fairy) - no time limit, just do your own thing. There is a yoga studio if you are so inclined, and it's a nice space in which to start the day. The staff, particularly Julian (the leader), are really nice and so helpful. All in all, it's a great place to explore Glastonbury, everything being a short walk away.
Nothing to speak of, except maybe a posse of other guests who ate all the eggs. Not the house's fault.

Quite place, nice view.. very friendly personal
It’s really old, bad smell.. not really looking like in photos… we cannot stay there… moved to travelodge which looks like luxury after this hotel

This is my second time staying at Phoenix, and there couldn't be a better place in Glastonbury! The facilities and Julian's work are wonderful! I always choose them again!

Julian and Danielle were very friendly, helpful & welcoming. The house and our room was very clean. It was peaceful and in perfect distance to visit Glastonbury Town . My room was on the ground floor and I had plenty of room to use my walking frame to get into the house & and ground-floor room.

Close to Tor. Parking.
Thin walls and noise on stairs at night. Thin curtains and security light directly outside coming on throughout the night. Limited breakfast options. Cook your own eggs, load the dishwasher.

Julian has made this house an upgraded home from home. Each room has its own gentle, relaxing yet uplifting theme with a mix of hotel chic with contemporary splashes. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom and shower lovely, and the touches like a comfy chair at the window (overlooking the most amazing views) were excellent.
The breakfast room was well stocked with 'help yourself' cereals, yogurt, jams and honey etc, gluten free options and fresh brown bread, cook your own eggs, and a well stocked crockery cupboard, alongside and excellent selection of teas and fresh coffees. You need to wash up yourself, but that's part of the fun :)
The intimate garden has a walking labyrinth and relaxing chairs, and is set back off the in road to Glastonbury town, around a 15-20 minute pleasant walk to the high street, and literally 100 yards from the edge of the foot of the Glastonbury Tor (woodland and hillside walk with breathtaking 360 degree viewpoint).
Julian was really accommodating with letting us leave luggage safely on the last day till the afternoon, and extremely helpful with contact numbers for taxi rides.
Thanks for a great stay :)

Bedroom, beds, not acceptable to have a shower in the bedroom at the end of the bed!! Disgusting. Black areas all over the floor where water has obviously damaged it. Paid the same amount as friends who all had separate bathrooms. Not healthy breathing in all condensation and mould from the shower next to the bed!! No where to hang towels. No where to put shower gels etc in shower, hanging space for clothes a few coat hangers on the wall behind the door. Mattress awful. Kept waking up each time I moved as felt was rolling out of bed as mattress higher in the middle. Such a noisy room and location. Awake until 2om each night ftom the noise. No where to park. Would not recommend at all. Should in no way have to pay the same amount as others either real bathrooms!! Will take further.

The experience of my staying eas an overall pleasant 4 nights. It was a nice house, light and cosy at the same time. The people, everyone from Julian the manger to the other people stayng there was nice ones and easy to connect to and I found both Julian and other guests helpful and created a good atmosphere.
There was a tiny very nice garden to sit in as well, love that!
Maybe a bit thin walls, but nothing to worry about.

Position was good, near white spring and Tor and off main road
No welcome when arrived. You had to find your breakfast and find out where things were to make porridge yourself, not enough fresh options available like berries or honey. Didn’t bother with breakfast on last morning.

Love it. Every moment. So close to the Tor.
The vibe, thank you Julian.
It's the kind of place that you'll go, and go, and go, and go again.
My girlfriend's birthday present. Glastonbury. To take her first steps on her journey. Couldn't have asked for more.
That we had to leave when our holiday was over.

Very nice and kind crew. Beautifull spot at the foot of the Thor. Near Chalice Well.
Not much organic food. The Walking road to the centre is first a bit noisy and full of traffic.

Loved the welcoming host, Julian who gave us a guided tour up the Tor! Great location to explore Glastonbury & a real experience, cosy room.
The bed was too soft for me so I didn’t sleep very well. They could do with being slightly wider & firmer mattresses.

The property is within walking distance of the town centre and very close to Glastonbury Tor. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We really appreciated the option to use the communal area and breakfast room.

Julian who works there was amazing very friendly welcoming. There was a lot of variety for breakfast and even a big fridge so I was able to buy food and make snacks when I was back at the property. I travelled alone and felt safe staying there. Brilliant location at the bottom of the Tor

A quiet and calm house. The owners went out of their way to welcome us and make sure we had all we needed. We would love to have stayed longer and will definitely be back.

Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und die Auswahl umfangreich. Man trifft immer nette und hilfsbereite andere Gäste zum Plaudern dort, es ist sehr familiär und gemütlich.
Das Zimmer im dritten Stock ohne Aufzug. Habe Knieprobleme und Schmerzen beim Laufen, ein Zimmer im EG wäre besser gewesen.

Super Lage unterhalb des Tor. Weg vom Trubel und doch alles fußläufig zu erreichen. Zum Apfel durch ruhige Wege oder am Hügel entlang, Chalice Well knapp 10 minuten.Julian war sehr hilfsbereit und hat unsere Gruppe mit Insider Tipps versorgt. Wenn erwas zum Frühstück ausging wurde es sofort ausgefüllt. Die Zimmer sind alle unterschiedlich und sehr süß eingerichtet. Alles sehr sauber. Toll auch der Garten den wir für Meditationen nutzen konnten. Wir werden wieder kommen!

De ligging pal onder de Glastonbury Tor en de prachtige labyrint-tuin.
De badkamer van 2 m2. Dat is toch wel erg krap voor douche, toilet en wasbak.

Il luogo è splendido! Julian è un perfetto padrone di casa, sempre attento ad ogni necessità del gruppo.
Ci siamo sentiti coccolati dal primo all’ultimo giorno!
Ritorneremo sicuramente! 🌟
