    • Great staff
    • We enjoyed every single minute!
    • The bedroom was warm and comfortable with all the amenities we could wish for.Good breakfast and evening meal.Close by to the Waddesdon National Trust.

    Cons -

    • Maybe a little too close to a busy road. But our room was in a location that was quiet.
    • Not keen on choosing breakfast the day beforeLike to order what I fancy on the day
    • The carpet was completely worn in places and could do with being replaced. The sealant could do with being replaced around the bath and shower screen.

    Lovely food and a nice room. Fantastic that we got free entry to the manor!

    It was a lovely hotel and the rooms were comfortable and warm. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Would return

    The only slight complaint would be it smells a bit off putting when you go in. It smells of cooking fat and not in a good way, and I think if the kitchen got better extraction it would help.

    It’s a very beautiful building. It’s kept very warm and cosy which can’t be easy given its listed status.

    10StevePosted on: 1-21-2026

    Staff were really friendly & helpful. The room although small, had everything we needed & was clean & comfortable. The shower room was clean, warm & had lovely fluffy white towels.

    10JohnPosted on: 1-4-2026

    Hotel location was excellent for visiting Waddesdon Manor staff were friendly and Helpful Breakfast was very good

    Nothing everything was perfect

    10MarkPosted on: 12-27-2025

    Excellant food, knowledgable and helpfull staff. You could taste the fresh locally sourced ingredients in the food. Decor was stylish and in character to age of the property with a modern twist.

    Everything was as described.

    10MathieuPosted on: 12-18-2025

    Good breakfast, decent size room, great location near the manor (staying at the five areows gives ypu access to the grounds and manor). Great restaurant. Reasonable price. But above all, fantastic staff. Many thanks to Sally from reception who drove us to the train station when our taxi was very late - absolute life saver !

    Breakfast is 7:30 to 9:30, which is a bit of a narrow range as we had to skip the cooking breakfast when leaving early and when we woke up a bit late. Next time!

    10WendyPosted on: 12-7-2025

    Hannah our evening dining server was an absolute diamond! We had a brilliant evening, delicious food, fine wine and Hannah was the icing on the cake.

    The mention of £7.50 extra per night as an extra bed charge was unexpected and unfathomable! The room cost was already more than ample in our opinion.

    10ElizabethPosted on: 11-13-2025

    We loved room 5 and wish it had been summer so we could enjoy the balcony. Great evening meal and breakfast.

    7AdamPosted on: 10-20-2025

    Food exceptional

    Room poor for price, bathroom needs deep clean

    8MaryPosted on: 10-8-2025

    Liked that it was centrally located in the town the breakfast was exceptional and the staff were very accommodating. Availability of parking was excellent.

    We arrived around 5 in the afternoon on Tuesday and the reception was closed. Then we had to call a number to find out about our room details. It was a strange welcome to an unfamiliar place.

    9MeanderingPosted on: 9-25-2025

    What a delightful find. The whole place has some class and the food is delicious. By far the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in, in a hotel. But the most memorable thing about the Five Arrows is the staff, exceptional service. All in all made the stay feel like it was a home away from home.

    One of the indoor plants needed watering (!! honestly, thats all the "didn't like" we have :)
