The Brownlow Bed & Breakfast

The Brownlow at Ivinghoe was built in the early 1800's by Lord Brownlow to serve the newly finished Grand Union Canal. It was also well renowned as been a popular local pub named The Brownlow Arms. The pub closed its doors for the last time in the early 60's and was converted into a family home. The Brownlow has remained in the same family since it was originally built.

The old stables have now been converted into luxury accommodation - retaining many original features and plenty of character. As The Brownlow is situated by the canal with a long driveway to the property, it maintains a very private and picturesque location. There are several local attractions nearby and whether it may be business or pleasure, we are sure you will enjoy your stay with us. Here are some places of interest:

Pitstone Windmill - beautifully situated beneath the Chiltern Hills, near the delightful village of Ivinghoe. This mill is one of the oldest in England. Owned by the National Trust and restored to working order by volunteers, is a living tribute to the village craftsmen who built and worked it during a bygone age.

Woburn Abbey - A beautiful stately home set in a 3,000 acre deep park and home to the Dukes of Bedford for nearly 400 years.
