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

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.

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.
