Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom has music, art, shows, a casino and even a church to get married in, but it does not have a hotel.

Book hotels online in the South West town of Glastonbury if you want to avoid camping on a site which ends up with a population the size of Oxford when entrance peaks.

Online hotel booking is the only answer to festival-goers who want the fun, but don’t want to go for days without a shower (washing facilities are not part of the party).

Compare hotels online to find somewhere with a working toilet that isn’t full, which happens at the end of the event; for a shower or bath each day; and for somewhere quiet and peaceful to get rested for the next event.

While most people have to leave their hair-straighteners and make-up at home (there are also no charging points for phones), why should you have to? Gastonbury Festival is only a short distance from the town and there are regular shuttle services.

Alternatively it is up to the knees in mud for you, as pictures of Glastonbury show ground that is invariably muddier than any Woodstock, due to the English weather. This means taking a range of clothes for sunny and showery days.

There isn’t anywhere to wash clothes though, so forget about cleanliness during your break, unless you are staying in a hotel with cleaning facilities.

And stock up on cash too or risk missing out on the music, as queues for an ATM can be as long as an hour.

That said, don’t miss out on the mud and mayhem during the day, which are part of the fun at this action-packed festival, but it can’t hurt to compare hotels online for a way to enjoy Glastonbury in luxury.
