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

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
