The Prophecy Of Light Retreat is a truly unique and enchanting holiday destination nestled in a conservation area. With its rich historical background as the former "The Plume and Feathers" pub, the cottage exudes a sense of charm and character. In the 1980s, it was thoughtfully divided into two properties, and despite its spaciousness, it still manages to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Situated on the magical Chalice Hill, the cottage and its garden offer a serene and tranquil setting. The surrounding area is teeming with wildlife and birds, creating a harmonious connection with nature. You'll find numerous inviting spots to relax and unwind, making it a truly magical retreat.The master bedroom is a haven of comfort, featuring a beautifully handcrafted four-poster kingsize bed and a luxuriously comfortable mattress. To ensure your utmost comfort, top-quality towels and linens are provided throughout your stay. Additionally, I offer filtered water that can be used for drinking and cooking, adding an extra touch of convenience and care to your experience.
I am a contemporary artist and animal lover and I enjoy many walks with my dog Mishka if you have a dog too you will find many lovely and interesting walks around Glastonbury and the surrounding area. .If you are artistic yourself I am sure you will get inspired with the wonderful views around and the magical energy that Glastonbury always seems to have whatever the time of year.
The cottage's central location is a fantastic advantage, as it allows guests to explore Glastonbury on foot. The iconic Tor is just a short half-mile walk away, and the neighboring Chalice Well gardens, which we both share the magical Chalice Hill with, are just a few doors down. In addition to the natural beauty, Glastonbury offers a vibrant town with a variety of amenities. Glastonbury Abbey, with its rich history, is a must-visit, and the town itself boasts numerous pubs, restaurants, cafes, and fine takeaways, ensuring that guests have plenty of options for dining and entertainment. If guests wish to venture further afield, the stunning city of Bath is less than an hour's drive away by car, offering a wealth of cultural and historical attractions. Similarly, the vibrant city of Bristol is also within easy reach, making day trips to these cities a convenient option.
