Haunted Hosts

Somerset spans southwest England from the Mendip Hills to the Somerset Levels, its landscape shaped by centuries of monastic power, civil war battles, and industrial heritage. The county's haunted hotels bear witness to this turbulent past through spectral monks who still walk medieval corridors, phantom cavaliers from the English Civil War, and restless spirits of former guests who never checked out. Ancient coaching inns along old drovers' routes harbour tales of highwaymen and mysterious travellers, while grand country houses converted to hotels retain the presence of their aristocratic former owners. The county's unique position between mystical Glastonbury and the dramatic coastline creates an atmosphere where spiritual energy concentrates in unexpected places. Somerset's haunted accommodations reflect the county's religious heritage, with many properties built on or near former abbey grounds where centuries of prayer and devotion left an indelible mark. From Georgian townhouses in historic Bath to remote moorland inns, these locations share common threads of unexplained footsteps, moving shadows, and the sensation of being watched by unseen observers from Somerset's layered past.
