About
The Old Brewhouse is a bed and breakfast in a restored 17th-century town house at 5-7 London Road, Cirencester, about three minutes' walk from the town centre. It holds a VisitEngland four-star silver rating, awarded for 2025, and a VisitEngland breakfast award.
There are ten en suite rooms: six in the main house and four round the courtyard, where guests can sit out in good weather. Two of the courtyard rooms, 9 and 10, have connecting doors and can be booked together as a family suite, but only directly with the owners. The courtyard rooms have a small fridge and underfloor heating in the bathroom. Every room has a TV, and Wi-Fi is free.
Breakfast is a full English, with fruit, cereals and juices, and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free versions if you say when booking; it is usually served from 8am to 9am, earlier by arrangement. Parking is free in the owners' car park behind the house.
It suits couples and families who want to walk into town and leave the car, and wedding parties: with all rooms booked it sleeps up to 23. Check-in is between 4pm and 7pm and check-out by 10.30am; weekend stays are two nights at least, and a non-refundable deposit of the first night secures a booking. The owners say the best rate is by phone or on their own booking page.
