Abbey House, Glastonbury, Somerset
 

Abbey House was built in the 1830’s and is situated in the original grounds of the Abbey. With the dissolution of the Abbey by Henry VIII the grounds fell into disrepair, but have remained one property and provide an oasis of calm within the town. Abbey House guests enjoy the privilege of access to the Abbey grounds from the House gardens. In 1907 the house and abbey grounds were purchased by the Diocese of Bath and Wells and, in 1931 the house was dedicated as a retreat house. It has been appreciated, ever since by all those who stay there.
