From the manager

Old Brewery House is a terrific Cotswold holiday home retreat with a real difference near Stow-on-the-Wold, sleeping up to 8 guests in four spacious ensuite bedrooms. Old Brewery House is located within the grounds of the Donnington Brewery (hence the name!) which in 1827 was bought as a working mill by Thomas Arkell, his descendant Richard Arkell founded the Brewery here in 1865. Inside the property, much of the original charm and character has been retained and many of the rooms enjoy stunning views across the gardens with roaming peacocks and the beautiful private lake with ducks and swans. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is well equipped and there are 2 living rooms, so plenty of space! The four bedrooms can be configured into doubles or twins (on request) which makes this property flexible for all parties. Oh, and the beer produced is of course available to purchase from Andy, the onsite manager!

For larger groups, Old Brewery house can be booked with Waterhead Barn with a maximum occupancy of 21
