    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...

    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...

  • Sandra

    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.
