The Saracens Head Inn

Shabby, but not chic!! AVOID. The room was absolutely freezing and the heating went off at midnight. Not acceptable for December with a thin duvet an no blankets. The fixtures and fittings are tired, broken. The cups in the room had dirty water in them when we arrived. The bathroom tiles had mould and the whole room smelt mouldy . I opened the wardrobe door and the mirror on the front of it literally fell off and hit me. I noted the other wardrobe door had already been boarded up, so clearly the other mirror had already fallen out. At breakfast we were told by the chef that only two breakfasts could be cooked at one time as he only had a small pan and it was full English or nothing. People were sat waiting - for ages - ridiculous. The bar staff in the evening had a debate and checked all the half empty crusty bottles on a rickety old shelf as they’d never heard of amaretto. The limited parking advertised on the website means driving up and down the road to find a non resident parking place - which there wasn’t.

Stayed in room 8. There was black mould on the on the ceiling , mould on the bottom shower trim, no plug in the bathroom, the water from the tap only tricked.. There was cobwebs in the room , the window didn't close. There was thick dust on the top of the wardrobe and on the top of the 4 poster bed, only one side lamp was plugged into an electrical socket, there was no mattress protector and the mattress was 4 inches from the headboard.i was not given the wi fi password so I couldn't use their internet. The best thing was the breakfast

Fantastic stay A great little B&B and a fantastic little pub. The room was warm and comfy. The pub was traditional, just as a pub should be. Excellent service too.

Great service We stayed at the Saracens Head for two nights. The room was clean and spacious; the food and service were excellent and the staff were all very friendly. We would definitely stay here again

The condition of the rooms is unacceptable, with mould and dampness covering the walls and ceilings in the bedroom, bathroom, and around the windows. Despite our request, the heating was not turned on (November) even though the owner had promised it would be. We had to argue to receive additional duvets, and the owner made us feel uncomfortable for asking for anything at all. The rooms had a strong smell of dampness, which also affected our clothing after being in the room. If we had had options we would have stayed elsewhere, the rooms really should be removed from sale as they are surely breaking health and safety regulations.

A quaint old building with such noisy plumbing that it was difficult to sleep.
