Pros

The hostel is built to Passivhaus environmental standards, using renewable electricity.

Located in central Cirencester, within 100 yards of supermarkets, pubs, and restaurants.

Offers exclusive hire for groups, accommodating up to 43 guests across 14 rooms.

Features locally crafted furnishings, including Shetland wool throws and artisan-made chairs.
