About
The Five Arrows Hotel is a Grade II listed building at the gates of Waddesdon Manor built on the site of an old coaching inn. Its name is derived from the Rothschild family emblem of a shield surmounted by five arrows, pointing upward and tied with a ribbon.
Built in 1887 as part of Waddesdon Estate by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild it was originally used to accommodate the architects, craftsmen and artisans working on the Manor itself.
It was designed by architect/builder, James Taylor, who lived locally in Bierton; in his own ‘authentic’ English style of half timbering, elaborate Elizabethan chimney stacks, and wrought ironwork. Architecturally it is one of the most striking buildings in the village.
Today, the Five Arrows is a popular boutique hotel with 16 bedrooms and a newly refurbished holiday cottage. We offer contemporary luxury whilst still retaining its historic character.
The hotel restaurant is now also a destination in its own right, we recently retained our 2 AA Rosettes .
Please note the Hotel and Restaurant will be closed on the 17th and 25th August 2023 for a private function.
