‘Superbly positioned, with stunning views to the cathedral and the Somerset country beyond, Glastonbury Tor in the distance.’ Set in beautiful gardens and parkland, Frances and Tim Meeres Young’s 18th-century coach house is run as an extra-special B&B. Bedrooms, each individually styled, one with a four-poster, are dressed to the nines. ‘Our room was The Studio, a spacious self-contained cottage with a huge bed, a well-equipped bathroom with heated floor, a sunny table and chairs outside.’ Extras included ‘bottles of wine, chocolates, apples, a coffee machine and copious documentation about the house, garden and city’. Other readers were less keen on the self-catering Gatehouse Cottage, which, they felt, ‘needed a bit of a make-over’. There are spaces for guests to relax inside and out, perhaps with a cream tea. ‘Presiding over everything is Frances with a team of friendly young women.’ A lavish breakfast buffet in the ‘bright and light’ orangery includes smoothies, cold meats, Mere smoked trout, Somerset cheeses and home-made jams. Cooked dishes, charged extra, must be ordered the night before. (Edward Mirzoeff, and others)
