My partner and I stayed at the Five Arrows on our wedding night and, despite living locally, will definitely be finding reason to stay again in the future. ||We stayed in one of the suites located in the court yard. The room was spacious and immaculately clean and tidy. The large four poster bed was comfortable and provided an excellent night's sleep after quite a big day and the shower was hot with decent water pressure. Little extras like The White Company toiletries, Dyson hairdryer and Nespresso coffee machine just added the comfort of the room. We could've happily and comfortably stayed for longer than the one night we did spend in this room.||We ate in the restaurant in the evening and had no complaints with the food at all (we will definitely be returning to the restaurant in the near future) and enjoyed some cocktails in the bar area which again were high quality and tasty. We also found there was a really nice atmosphere in the bar, it is clearly a venue enjoyed by friendly regulars. ||Breakfast the next morning was very tasty albeit a little on the small side if I had to give a criticism, but it was thoroughly enjoyed by us. ||My father-in-law also stayed at the hotel for our wedding and had nothing but positive things to say about it. ||By far the stand out part of our stay here were the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly and polite and nothing was ever too much. Our numerous bags were stored in the office after we'd checked out so we could go and enjoy Waddesdon Manor before returning home, left over wedding cake was stored in the fridge for us, we were allocated a more private booth table for our evening meaning to "finish off out special day" as the waitress put it. The staff member on the hotel reception desk even personally drove my father in law to our wedding ceremony when his taxi didn't turn up so he wouldn't be late! There was a small issue with our bill upon checking out but staff picked up on this straight away and sorted it out for us with no real issues. It just really felt like our comfort and enjoyment during our stay mattered to them and you don't come across that level of customer service very often!||We booked our stay quite far in advance under their midweek break offer and paid £150 for the suite, breakfast, dinner allowance and access to Waddesdon Manor grounds and house and we'd have genuinely been happy with our experience if we'd have paid double that. ||We immediately decided we'd be returning to stay at the Five Arrows for our anniversary and we'll definitely be back before then for a meal.
