We have stayed here before and chose to stay again after a wine tasting at the local Waddesdon Manor. In this case the wine tasting was more a presentation about the origins of Rothschilds wine, an interesting tour of the wine cellar, and visitors only got to sample two glasses of their good wines, so we could have driven home. But we had already booked our room so we stayed. Five Arrows is a nice country hotel, built in the same attractive style as much of the older part of the village, and its comfortable inside. Good for a short stay or after visiting the manor. Staff were all friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

On our visit they were short of staff, especially at breakfast, based on what I heard this appeared to be an ongoing problem. Because of the delay with our breakfast we considered leaving, but when breakfast did eventually arrive it was good quality.

The welcome from reception team !… Sally was lovely she was warm and welcoming. Our room was ready and she escorted us to it . The hotel was wonderful traditional and dressed for Christmas. Hotel ideally placed to visit the Manor! We loved also that we could eat our evening meal at the sister pub The Bow just up the road . Our breakfast in the hotel was great also .

Nothing really - just a slightly bigger room ! But this time round it was only one night so it was fine .

You had to pre-order the breakfast the night before which meant that it was served at your chosen time. The breakfast was very good, cooked breakfast was not greasy and most enjoyable.

Our only criticism was that it would have been good to have a net curtain at the bedroom window. Our room was at the front of the hotel and was overlooked by houses on the opposite side of the road. Not a major problem but something for the hotel to think about.

We thought the room was only semi-quiet but what with the road and the garden in use with customers and a wedding party there was never going to be a quiet option. The room was well blinded and curtained to keep out the worst of the heat. The duvet was suitable for the temperature and the bed comfortable. No noise from other guests in bedrooms although the hotel was probably full. Breakfast was fine. We enjoyed our walk around the Manor grounds but did not have time, due to another fixture, to go around the house.

Although the bathroom had been recently refurbished, the cleanliness of the shower was not up to speed - mouldy grouting at the lower end of the tiling and the secondary shower head was in need of a spring clean.

The Five Arrows was perfect for our one night stay alongside our visit to Waddesdon Manor. The room was lovely and had everything that’s needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent food served in the restaurant. The grounds are easily accessible from the Hotel. The staff we encountered within the Hotel were all super friendly, in particular Sally at reception who provided phenomenal service.

All of the meals were cooked to perfection, the staff were excellent and very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The property was spotless. The shower over the bath was the most powerful I have ever had. The cost of food and drink was lower than I expected. The hotel sits at the bottom of Waddesdon Manor estate A National Trust property and probably the best house in the country.

Nothing

Everything we have come to expect from an excellent hotel. Our suite was very comfortable and breakfast was delicious with local produce..... We also chose to dine with friends from the village in the restaurant on Friday night. The food was superb in every way with locally sourced ingredients where possible and seasoned well showing the chef team have a deft touch .... our meal was paired with an excellent pinot noir from the cellar at a very reasonable £27 per bottle.. I enjoyed a the chef's amuse bouche of tempora oyster, the confir duck waffles, a perfectly cooked "bleu" steak from the local beef herd, with the cheese board and homemade crackers to finish. We stayed here before Covid, and will be back again soon.

From the moment I arrived, I felt so looked after! The staff were friendly and helpful, room was lovely with nice touches. I was there on business and enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening on my return. The bed was super comfy, shower was nice and hot and the breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. I had forgotten to order toast as I was rushing the day before, but Angus realised this and still brought some toast with my breakfast before I asked!

Nothing! Honestly 10 out 10! Thank you !

Lovely listed building decorated in an appropriate scale. Friendly helpful staff. Electric vehicle charging point, which saved me a lot of hassle trying to find a charger on the way home.

Nowhere to sit in the evening and relax. The single room was in the attic and although nice as a small bedroom it wasnt somewhere I wanted to sit all evening. It turns out I could have sat in the coach house a separate building, which I assumed was part of the bar. Dinner was expensive £50 for one without alcohol

The hotel was perfectly situated for our visit to Waddesdon Manor and Ascott House. The breakfasts, and all other meals were of a high quality and served by a welcoming and accommodating staff. The en-suite bedroom was beautifully furnished with a good range of facilities. The manager, Adam, was very obliging and helpful; his delight in his work and his colleagues was obvious and well founded.

There was absolutely nothing which we could fault.
