Best Guest House in Glastonbury
Glastonbury is a magical place of personal pilgrimage and spiritual unfoldment where the veils are thinnest between the invisible worlds, the inner and outer realities. Berachah, a beautiful split-level house is built into the slopes of Glastonbury Tor and overlooks the healing, regenerative iron-based waters of the red spring of The Chalice Well Gardens. Berachah stands between the healing nourishing calcium-based waters of The White Spring, and the footpath leading up to Glastonbury Tor.

From the breakfast room, there are wonderful panoramic views over the Vale of Avalon. Berachah was once part of Chalice Orchard, where the writer and occultist, Dion Fortune used to live. The house, standing on the original site of her temple, was designed and built by a Welsh architect who named it Berachah, meaning 'Place of special spiritual blessing'. In Sufi 'Beraka', means 'Point of blessing'.

One of the Glastonbury Holy Thorn trees grows in the garden. It is reputed to be a cutting from the Holy Thorn planted by Joseph of Arimathea on Wearyall Hill. It has beautiful white flowers in Springtime, and the unusual second flowering between Winter Solstice and Imbolc. - , posted 07/26/07
