The Five Arrows Hotel

Excellent location for visiting Waddesdon Manor, entrance is gratis for hotel guests. Nice garden. A few local pubs to choose from to eat at. Decent breakfast. Our room was small and stuffy

The Five Arrows is a beautiful property with historic connections to Waddesdon Manor. The staff were all extremely friendly and our room overlooked the garden. We were able to leave the car the next day and walk to Waddesdon Manor.

It was just perfect for a weekend stopover. Very good rooms. Evening meals were excellent as was breakfast. Electric charging was very cheap, but somewhat convoluted unless you have the app (Apple only so no go for me!) Highly recommended.

Historic setting, great breakfast, easy parking

Very nice hotel though we had to find food elsewhere on the sunday evening and the bar closed early. Plenty of parking and polite staff.

Great stay at Five Arrows. Food amazing and staff very helpful. Rooms are decorated beautifully and the hotel has a lovely garden.

Nice rooms, setting and facilities Doesn't accept cash Drinks overpriced

A treasure of a hotel worth the cost. Very clean rooms with comfy bed and a bath with shower over. Restaurant food was delicious, well priced as well as breakfast which was ordered the night before and you could eat leisurely. Our room included entry to Waddesdon Manor which was a bonus. Car parking was easy. Staff pleasant.

With its close proximity to the manor it seemed like the ideal place to stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but generally we felt it was overpriced and not value for money. There was 1 socket in the bedroom that served all electrical devices, so if you wanted the lamp and fan/ hair drier on or even a laptop you had to choose!! The restaurant menu was disappointing, the breakfast mean, and this had to be pre ordered. I couldn't get the free WiFi to work. The car park is small, and with many of the manor staff drinking there in the evening, we struggled to park. There are electric charging points. The bed however was comfortable and there was a fan in the room - a godsend on one of the hottest days of the year - but we're back to the one socket in the room to serve everything. There was a Nespresso machine but no instructions. The desk had a chair but you couldn't get your legs underneath

A beautiful place to stay, attentive staff, great food, good facilities, spotlessly clean. Ensure you know how to access the premises if calling on on a Monday or Tuesday, because reception is closed. And the intercom is at pub rear door no the near the reception area.

Wonderful staff, super helpful. Food was amazing! Only little niggles was the shower head was a little grubby in our room and the road can be noisy if you’re not a heavy sleeper like myself. Beautiful place and wonderful if you like to have long walks up and around the Manor House behind the hotel.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was really gd and lots of variety. Room was very spacious very clean . Would deafatlinty stay again

We really enjoyed our stay. The service from the staff was outstanding, and the food was absolutely delicious. We booked a Deluxe Double Room, which was clean and had a very comfortable bed. It was also beautifully furnished. Some previous reviewers mentioned a bit of wear and tear, which we also noticed, but it was very minor. After reading earlier reviews, we requested a quiet room, which we were given, and we’re glad we did as we hadn’t appreciated how busy the road outside could be. That said, while the room was lovely, we did feel it was a little pricey for its size. If you’re planning to dine in the restaurant, we’d recommend booking a table in advance as we did. We were there on a Saturday night and it was completely full. Breakfast was fantastic too - we really can’t fault the food. One thing we were initially disappointed about was discovering on arrival that Waddesdon Manor was closed for the weekend, despite our confirmation email stating we could enter free of charge. The hotel simply pointed out that the closure was noted on the manor’s website, but we do feel the hotel should have informed us directly. That said, it actually worked out well in the end as we enjoyed some fabulous, peaceful walks around the grounds, which were wonderfully quiet because the manor was closed. Overall, a great stay with excellent service and incredible food. We would happily return.

A very friendly hotel Road noise was a problem but staff moved our room to the back after the first night Some of hotel looking a little tired abd could have been ckeaner

We were happy with the room which was high upin the attic (although we kept getting lost and ended up going down a dirty staircase to the kitchen by mistake..). It was comfortable and clean. The staff was very attentive. The only drawback was the preordered cooked breakfast which was rather mean - one small rasher of bacon and one small sausage... My vegetarian sausages seemed to have been made of saw dust. The "continental" breakfast must have been prepared by someone who had never been to the Continent and consisted of boxes of cereal, sad fruit salad and some yoghurt. On the plus side, the toast and scrambled eggs were delicious. However, we would not stay here again.

The grade two listed house and out-buildings lend themselves, perfectly to hotel use. At the moment this feels more like a pub with rooms than a true ‘ boutique hotel’ but all the raw ingredients are there … just add money ! Room 8 was comfortable and well appointed, the bathroom would have benefitted from a little more attention to detail with respect to limescale but nothing that couldn’t be easily rectified. I really hope The Five Arrows receives the investment it’s crying out for..

I had been really looking forward to staying at The Five Arrows, but unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. After a long journey with our two very young children, we were greeted rather awkwardly, which set the tone for the stay. The cot provided had a dirty sheet, which we had to request to be changed — disappointingly, there was no apology offered. Later that night, the alarm clock in our room went off at midnight, waking up our whole family. Breakfast the next morning was also a let-down; the atmosphere was very stuffy and uncomfortable, and the staff seemed curt and unwelcoming from the outset. To top it off, an unexpected £60 charge was added to our bill without prior notice, which left a sour taste at the end of our stay. It's a shame, as the setting and building itself are beautiful, and I had really wanted to enjoy our time there. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would find it difficult to recommend.

Characterful property with pretty garden. Room was tiny, not as advertised. Quite shabby, window paint peeling, mirrors very dusty, bathroom could do with a good clean! Cobwebs galore, wish there was the option to attach a photo of them! There are so many good features of the hotel but think we got the worst room maybe.

Lovely building, very clean and well presented. Room was warm and comfortable with good amenities. Restaurant is quite expensive, food quality was good, but menu is limited.

Return visit, overnight stay to attend a funeral next morning. Checked in at 8:10pm (not a very warm welcome), only to be told the restaurant closes at 8pm. In a hotel! I asked if an exception could please be made as it was only a few minutes, and we’d been driving over 2 hours, but was told no (without even asking the kitchen) - no bar food available either. Disappointing. Also asked to complete a paper “order form” at check in for breakfast the next day. That was a first. We drove into Aylesbury to find a restaurant for dinner. 40 minute round trip. Anyone booking with the expectation of dining at 8pm or later should look elsewhere. Room was ok - clean but very small, tiny bathroom. Bed so-so, hard pillows. Breakfast - friendly service and good food. Opted to pay a breakfast “upgrade” charge for salmon and scrambled eggs, which was very nice, but when checking out no one was available to take payment. Couldn’t wait as we had a funeral to attend. Asked the barman but he wasn’t interested. Half decent for a 3* hotel. Pushing it to claim 4*. Expensive for what it is. We’ve stayed at far nicer hotels for the same or less. For the price paid (about £170 B&B) can not really recommend. Won’t return.

Stayed for two nights. Friendly staff, restaurant very high quality. Our room was one of the suites which had plenty of room, enough seating and two tv’s. Our room key gave us free access to Waddesdon Manor- which was spectacular.

Breakfast good. Terrible check in with ‘security’. Noisy room with road traffic noise all night. Green ceiling light shining in room all night. Poor lighting in bathroom. Difficult to regulate hot water in bathroom.

A wonderful older hotel and restaurant. I stayed in the tiny single room - this is not a complaint, it’s a great little room for one person. Some people in reviews have complained about road noise - they should be realistic about their expectations. It’s an old property right next to a road. If you are someone that’s sensitive to road noise

Odd check in but worked fine, nice comfy bed and good size room

Pros: - Excellent staff - Delicious breakfast - Bags of character (don't miss Waddesdon Manor) Cons: - Noisy road in front (we asked for rear room, Room 1, which is comfortable but a bit neat sizewise) Small issues: - Shower head broken (could not be attached to riser) but will be fixed - Rear access door below bedroom slammed every time people entered/left but will be fixed Overall, enjoyed our stay and recommended.

We enjoyed our stay at The Five Arrows in a lovely suite which was cosy and relaxing. The staff were friendly and attentive and the breakfast service was prompt and courteous.

Fabulous property with a great restaurant and warm, friendly and caring staff. One of the best hotels we have ever visited.

Fantastic hosts, and excellent food and service. Will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful hotel. Lovely friendly staff and fantastic meals. We felt very welcome and nothing eas too much trouble. We were even reserved the best table in the restaurant.

Front of house staff member needs developing. In meeting and greo

We enjoyed our stay at The Five Arrows in a lovely suite which was cosy and relaxing. The staff were friendly and attentive and the breakfast service was prompt and courteous.

Great nights stay, amazing food, a good nights sleep. Staff were amazing too. I’ll definitely be back.

Hotel is closed on a Tuesday, it was poorly lit and raining when i arrived, no clear signs where to go, eventually found a intercom, dont think the person knows the hotel, i needed to try and find my room, i couldn't l, went back to the intercom, he then opens a door where i found a key safe and then he tells me the room is in the other building, by this time i am very frustrated, hotel was closed so no food, i paid for breakfast but this started to late in the morning 07.30 so i never had this. Overall it looks nice, the roo. Was nice, but the lack of signs and difficulties i had means i wont be going back and would not recommend

The room was excellent the dinner and breakfast were exceptionally good however limited menu we loved our stay will definitely book again so convenient to Waddesdon Manor

The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was a very high standard. The breakfast also was good with everything cooked fresh to order. An added bonus included its the booking was entrance to Waddesdon Manor, a national trust house and gardens that are amazing. If not a NT member this would cost £28 each. Only thing to watch out is that the restaurant is not open on Monday or Tuesday evenings, though the Bow pub across the road did very good food.

Lovely place to stay especially if you are visiting Waddesdon Manor. Staff was so helpful.

The hotel is well suited for visiting Waddesdon Manor. The room was very comfortable and clean. The meal we had was excellent and all the staff were friendly and attentive

Fantastic veggie food .. prob the best restaurant veggie meal in years. ..both the risotto (yes actually a first class risotto) and the veg stroganoff. Clearly proper chef making real fresh food. Thank you ! Service great. Setting ideal for Waddesdon Court (national trust). Nights stay slightly spoiled by HS2 lorries ! Characterful pub hotel - very definitely recommend. Highly.

Lovely hotel and food. Let down by the need to preorder breakfast and then at breakfast keep having to ask for all the things you had preordered - seemed a little pointless.

With its close proximity to the manor it seemed like the ideal place to stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but generally we felt it was overpriced and not value for money. There was 1 socket in the bedroom that served all electrical devices, so if you wanted the lamp and fan/ hair drier on or even a laptop you had to choose!! The restaurant menu was disappointing, the breakfast mean, and this had to be pre ordered. I couldn't get the free WiFi to work. The car park is small, and with many of the manor staff drinking there in the evening, we struggled to park. There are electric charging points. The bed however was comfortable and there was a fan in the room - a godsend on one of the hottest days of the year - but we're back to the one socket in the room to serve everything. There was a Nespresso machine but no instructions. The desk had a chair but you couldn't get your legs underneath

I remember driving past this hotel when I was 18/19 and always wanted to stay. Well finally many years later I have. Booked a last minute on the day overnight stay to celebrate a new job. The hotel manager Aggie very kindly upgraded our room which was a lovely suprise. Superking sized bed, high ceilings with exposed beams. All in all a beautiful room. We had dinner in the restaurant that night and the food was excellent, definitely recommend the lamb pie. Breakfast the next morning was also delicious and we were looked after on both occasions by Noah, thank you to them!

Hotel is perfect location for Waddesdon Manor however the rooms fairly basic and it’s right on a busy road which prevented sleep with the lorry's passing all night Dinner was excellent but breakfast we felt like we were an inconvenience to the seemingly busy lady
