Glatonbury Abbey gig - help with accommadation

[1waveydavey]

HI all - as a very long time user of this forum I know I can rely on the good people here to help / offer good suggestions...

So, Sat August 5th is my 50th birthday, it also happens to be when Brain Wilson is playing Pet Sounds at Glastonbury Abbey. Im a big big big Beach Boys fan and love that album. So to spend my 50th in Glastonbury watching that album is an absolute bonus and treat. Before anybody pipes up about Brian Wilson and his ability to play these days, I know, Ive seen him, I get it but Im ok with that.

So getting to the point...  the help Im after is Im after some nice accommodation as close as possible for 9 people that wont break the bank. Im struggling a little and have tried the obvious Airbnb route and a few other sites. Ideally Id like a big house for the weekend but am open to other thoughts.

Thanks all.

I take it you've dismissed the camping option. Have you tried any of the local pubs in see if any offer accommodation? Some idea of your budget might be helpful.

I work in Glastonbury so am happy to check any properties out for you beforehand.

We've been the last 2 years and hotels/ B&B's are a real swine after the event and seem to be booked up ages in advance. We live fairly local but have been known to have the odd drink over the course of the evening so need somewhere to stagger to.

Try a bit further afield - taxi pick up worked out quite easy after event as the crowd isnt that large and clears fairly quickly. We stayed in the Wookey Hole hotel last year. Bit of a faceless chain type place - but reasonably priced and clean.

Thank you both for taking the time to read and reply - i think I've found somewhere called Somerton House which looks nice.
