The gardens at the rear of the hotel provide outdoor seating where meals can be taken during fine weather.

Location

The Five Arrows stands at the gates of Waddesdon Manor, a French Renaissance-style château built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in 1887. Guests receive complimentary ground tickets to the manor, which houses 18th-century art treasures, an aviary, wine cellars, and Victorian gardens. Bicester Village luxury designer outlet is 12 miles away, while Oxford and Blenheim Palace are within 26 miles.

Pet-Friendly

The hotel welcomes dogs in designated areas and provides pet baskets and bowls upon request. The grounds and surrounding gardens offer marked walking routes for guests with dogs. Free parking and EV charging stations are available for guests traveling with vehicles.

Wellness

Onsite wellness retreats and yoga weekends are offered throughout the year, led by certified instructors. The hotel's Grade II listed building retains original Victorian timber, Elizabethan chimneys, and wrought ironwork, providing a distinct setting for relaxation. The atmospheric bar serves local craft beers and cocktails after sessions.

“The appeal here lies in the genuine warmth of the staff, whose attentiveness, exemplified by Adam and Sally, elevates the stay beyond the comfortable rooms and well-appointed grounds. Dining here is a notable pleasure, with dishes like the lamb and venison pies showcasing a kitchen that clearly takes pride in its offering. The proximity to the manor grounds, a delightful bonus, feels like an extension of the hotel's own charm.”
