Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: I loved the amazing view! The camp site was a lot easier to find than expected. toilets and showers were very clean and well kept. The lady that ran the place was very friendly! Great ground to pitch up on, not rocky or uneven. So many ladybirds!
Disliked: Just like everywhere that I camp the midnight run to the toilet!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Loved this campsite. For us it was the perfect combination of wild camping (off-grid, just a gently sloping field with stunning views) and a touch of luxury (flushing toilets, running water and piping hot showers). The owners were welcoming and helpful, and made a point of not overbooking so that there was plenty of space for every tent to have its own space and privacy.
Disliked: Nothing!

Shepherd's hut
Liked: The location is beautiful and a short drive into Glastonbury. The views are stunning and you can see Glastonbury Tor as you step outside the Sheppard's Hut.
Inside, although basic, there is everything you need. The bed is very comfortable, there's a table and chairs, even a mirror. It was clean. Despite not having any electrics and being so rural, phone signal was really good. I also felt safe as a solo female traveller which is very important.
Hosts were very accommodating to the fact I checked in later in the evening after watching the sunset from the Tor.
I have rebooked to stay again!
