Overall Ratings & Reviews The College Arms

Firstly, the building is absolutely beautiful, and the ness is one of the best pints I've had in a long time. Now to the nitty gritty - On check-in, we were told that the room we had booked wasn't available, but they would place us in another, larger room. The room was spacious and clean, and we were pleased with everything. Okay, the bed creaked and groaned with every breath, but 8ve slept in worse. We thought little of it and went out to our event in fantastic spirits. Arriving back late at night, we were hit with a cacophony of music at a volume that shook the furniture in our room. Fair enough, we thought, that's what you get for booking a room at a pub - we'll wait it out and then get some well needed shut eye. Unfortunately, we didn't allow for the pub having a 'lock in' and playing the music at full volume well into the early hours of the morning, when my partner snapped and complained to staff. I don't think that I'll be able to ever be able to listen to Carly Simon or Billy Joel again without wanting to force feed somebody their own knees. Despite this debacle, there was no apology, and we were left seething and unable to sleep. Heading into breakfast later that morning, we were faced with condiments that were covered with dust and hair and food (which like the evening before), which was rubbery and inedible. I know that some of this was my fault for booking accommodation at a pub, and failing to take heed of reviews, but there must be better places out there.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful

Busy village pub, very old so lots of low beams (banged my head going up the stairs; no signage, so that could be improved), friendly service, good beer, very good food, generous portions and excellent value for money. Excellent choice if you are in need of a room in the Cotswolds at a sensible price

Great host great food.

Nice old pub with lots of character. The rooms and communal areas are tired and worn. Cleanliness is lower than average, this place would really benefit from some tlc.

We stayed in Aragon for 2 nights when attending a wedding nearby. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable but could do with a few tweaks this did not mar our stay. However the food both at breakfast and evening was excellent with breakfast being outstanding. The property is period and as such is always going to have its niggles. Thank you for a lovely stay

Bedroom was a bit tired but pleasant over night stay. Decent size room and ensuite. Didn’t get chance to sample the food.

Great country pub with accommodation. Ideally placed for Cotswold Wedding Season! Inexpensive and a cracking breakfast,

Lovely clean and comfortable stay with fantastic hosts. A great change up from standard rubber stamped hotels for work, thank you.

Very friendly and helpful staff and Owner. Lovely location and great accommodation. Would highly recommend for all ages. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The property is quite old with beams and original features. The room was clean and comfortable , with water, tea/coffee and toiletries. Despite being a pub it was very quiet. You need transport or rely on uber. Food was lovely, breakfast was hot and plenty of it, and hosts were very nice and helpful. Would stay here again.

Great place to stop for the night before an event taking place locally. Really good welcome, and amazing breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts.

Staff was very helpful. The room we had was clean and quiet and a lovely drive to Stratford.

Beautiful, picturesque, and quaint yet very comfortable, clean and at a remarkably reasonable price, The College Arms was a real treat. Our bed was very comfortable, dinner and breakfast portions were very generous and very reasonably priced. We will certainly be back when next in the area.

Absolutely wonderful place in a gorgeous village setting. Friendly staff and an amazing breakfast. Highly recommended.

Very good. Nice and friendly. Staff great.

Great place to stay!

For us this was perfect. We were there visiting gardens in the area, and 2 of our favorites were 7 minutes away! We took a walk the first day and just minutes from the hotel was a pasture full of sheep and lambs. Thatch roof cottages right around the corner. Rich with character. Lovely breakfast in the mornings, and tasty choices for supper. But the best perk was the people. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, evenings spent talking and sipping wine with new friends!

Excellent 5*
