Old Farm was built in 1345 by the monks of Glastonbury Abbey as a resting place for pilgrims. The farmhouse and the traditional farm buildings have now been restored and provide two self catering cottages around the original thatched house. The cottages have separate gardens, seating and barbecues and all guests are welcome to use the gardens and fields around the farm. There are 2 ponds (unfenced) and outstanding views to Glastonbury Tor and across to Wells Cathedral. The cottages are completely self contained and there are ample facilities for drying wet clothes, boots etc and storage for bikes. Old Farm is a family home and we have donkeys, ducks, chickens, cat, dogs and sheep all of which enjoy the company of our visitors!
