Voilently expensive parking. I estimated the owner (Council? ) would make 3/4 million Pounds from this car park. A real killer. Room extremely simple but adequate. No TV.

No late check in. Had to sleep in our car.

We got stuck in traffic and missed the check in window by 20 minutes. There was no one around, the phone rang to an empty desk, and no way to check in late, which is unheard of in my experiences of hostels. My family of 4 was forced to sleep in our car outside until the following morning. They then checked us in with a pencil and clipboard. Very unprofessional. Terrible experience. I would have liked to have given it a better review, but no late check in policy is a huge miss.

My only comment would be around the shower. Whilst the shower was excellent the water comes out into the bathroom because the drain needs to raised to form a lip.

Comfortable and welcoming hostel in great location

Excellent location. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good shared kitchen area with a friendly atmosphere. Rooms and bathrooms are fairly tight but that is expected. All in good condition and clean. We enjoyed our stay here and our visit to the surrounding Cotswolds area.

The Barrel Store Hostel

We stay with our friends from Australia and find the room to be slightly small. The toilet is clean but the bath is small. Sharing the kitchen is fine but the utensils are slightly old and some are rusty. Having said that, the staff are friendly. There was no laundry although it stated that there are laundry facility on site when we booked.
