Great location for the National Trust property and Bicester Village

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.

We've just had a two night stay. We were made to feel very welcome. The staff are friendly, thoughtful and considerate. Sally was particularly helpful, putting us in a lovely quiet room in the coachhouse, thank you Sally! Also, thank you to Michelle, again very thoughtful in seating us in a quiet little corner of the restaurant for breakfast. The hotel is full of character and history, our room was very clean and comfortable, well done to Julie and the housekeeping staff! All in all a lovely place to stay with a genuine family atmosphere among the staff!

Fantastic all round Michelle, Sally and Jefferson all brilliant staff too who were so kind and helpful Felt safe on my own as a solo female Clear parking Clean Couldn't be faulted at all

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.

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

Beautiful room, delicious breakfast with lots of choice.

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.

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.

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

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

We had a lovely stay. The room was really comfortable and had everything we needed. The food and drink were excellent. The breakfast was very enjoyable. The staff were fantastic, really friendly and professional.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.
