The Crown Glastonbury, the George & Pilgrim and the Travelodge are all in walking distance.

The Lion at West Pennard is good if you have a car. It also has a good restaurant. 

The Covenstead is luxurious and near the Assembly Rooms too.

Middlewick is nice, but again, you would need a car to get into town. Unless you like a good walk 🙂
