Great staff, really nice and friendly to chat with and hang out in the pub. Cozy rooms but not small or claustrofobic like other "cozy" places are. Nice food and drink options in the pub too. Lovely quiet area to be in for a few nights.
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.

Rooms dated, breakfast ok
Nice village location, rooms above a pub, breakfast ok
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.

Liked: Room comfort
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.
Very friendly and helpful staff and Owner. Lovely location and great accommodation. Would highly recommend for all ages. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Enjoyable, relaxed and comfortable stay. A warm friendly welcome and tasty full English breakfast. Just what we wanted from our one night stay away!

Could of been a lot better
Stayed in room downstairs.Plus point a bath and a shower unfortunatly the shower had a variety of hairs still in it. bed was comfy. Some dust issues in bathroom too.sitting in the bar at the window lots of dead flies on window sill not good. The chef very unreliable did not show up to cook our breakfast on friday. Or monday we was not happy at all
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.
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.
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.
