Meare Manor

This is an authentic Glastonbury hotel, an old Victorian building with lots of character.Our room even had a lovely balcony! We had a good night's sleep with an exceptional breakfast, porridge was amazing! Graham and Sue where lovely hosts! If you are looking for a modern boutique hotel then Meare Manor may not be for you however I myself love a modern boutique hotel but I would definitely stay at Meare Manor again and recommend the whole experience of it. Many thanks!

Lovely old manor house with original features & character. Ideal location for the Ham Wall bird sanctuary. Plenty of parking space. Very friendly welcome from Graham, easy check in. Super balcony (shame about the weather!), comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Excellent breakfast in a relaxed and unhurried setting - the choice was fabulous, and all was freshly cooked.

Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Room was a lovely size, the bed was very comfortable and everything was perfectly clean. Breakfast was stunning, particularly the smoked haddock with poached eggs. Lovely views from the rear of the proper as Meare is situated right in the beautiful Somerset countryside, with several nice walks in the area. It is also very close to Glastonbury, Wells and other towns.

I’d stayed some years before and had some recollection of the building. I needed a twin room but none were available and I opted for what, in effect, was a family room with a four poster bed and two singles. I didn’t mind paying for that for a little bit of extra comfort. I don’t want to raise unreasonable expectations and so should say that the building is old and has real character but is a little “tired “. We, however, found the beds comfortable, the hotel quiet and got a good nights rest. The TV and Wi-Fi both worked fine and there were three armchairs in the room. I mainly drink tea and we didn’t have many teabags in the room but when I asked for some, I was also offered fresh milk in a container, which made the tea so much better. One of the really good things about the stay was the breakfast. I don’t eat much meat and so didn’t have a traditional English breakfast but was able to get porridge together with smoked Haddock and egg. It was really good but when I commented on how good the marmalade with the toast was, the owner told me that it was home-made. Things like that can make a difference. My partner had a full English breakfast and she really enjoyed it. There were no problems parking.

The beds were extremely comfortable and we liked having two decent chairs in the room. The breakfast was exceptional with only the best ingredients used and perfectly cooked. Choice of menu really good and we could customise if we had wanted. Service brilliant. The proprietors were extremely welcoming and efficient. The location was perfect for our visit to nearby Ham Wall.
