Average accommodation shows in the price.
Could be cleaner. Bed comfortable. Not particularly welcoming atmosphere. Good breakfast. Broken bathroom window with sharp edges. Did get moved to another room. Could do with information in the rooms.

Really enjoyable stay. Friendly helpful owners. Large comfortable rooms and a lively outlook over the village green. Breakfast was really good quality and hot. Loved the history of the building, hence the room names. Would readily book again when in the area

We stayed one night, after spending the day at Warwick Castle, and prior to enjoying a day in Stratford. It was perfectly located for our needs, and the staff were friendly. We had a great dinner at the Indian restaurant on-site, and the cooked-to-order breakfast in the morning was delicious. Our family room was spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend!

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

Give it a miss
Dinner only served until 5pm, breakfast starts at 9am which is no good for most business people who work past these times. Room had broken power socket, lumpy bed, toilet not fastened down, broken light in cupboard, dirty shelves, excessive noise from bar. Tried to contact hotel to cancel 2nd night, no answer at all and no one called me back after leaving a voicemail. Overall would not recommend staying here at all.

Lovely pub, fab welcome and superb food. The new owners are working hard to change things from the previous owners. We had a lovely evening, great dinner and fun night of board games. Thanks so much.

We were late but welcomed by the lovely staff at the College Arms, which I understand are under new management recently.
The room I stayed is was good and had everything I needed for the 2 nights I was there.
We had breakfast in the morning (which was spot on) I cannot fault any part of it, best part was the bacon for me, or the sausages. Both were great.
And throughout my stay the staff were lovely, I would happily stay again.

Noisy stay
Great location and room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated though bathroom need some maintenance shower door handle broken and blinds didn’t close to window ledge. Was quite noisy on my visit so unfortunately didn’t make for a restful stay.

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.

Great value
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

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.
