The Barrel Store Cirencester

a stylish hostel

Beautifully warm Cotswold stone on the outside, whilst light, airy inside. The Barrel Store is well-appointed with beautiful craft features throughout. From locally-made warm woollen throws to wrap up in, to artisan-made chairs and light shades, this is a hostel which makes the most of its association with New Brewery Arts next door to create a hostel with a real difference.
