The Five Arrows Hotel

A very unique building with spacious comfortable rooms. Helpful staff and a very good breakfast. I can highly recommend.

Good stay. I booked last minute and I arrived late in the evening so it was dark. The telephone number on the first door approached does not work. Fortunately stumbled across the other door, not very well lit. Once I had a conversation with the night keeper all went well.

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.

The staff were very friendly and efficient. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Excellent food.

Bed needs to be more comfortable. Shame about noise of HS2 traffic, particularly on first night.

Lovely hotel. Fabulous food.

Constant thumping throughout the night woke me multiple times. Was told it was the pipes with a shrug...

Bar and restaurant were not open on the Tuesday we arrived. Came back from Aylesbury hoping for a night cap only to find the bar closed. This was 2230
