The Saracens Head Hotel

Ideal location for our family holiday. Lovely staff, great service and food.

The service at reception and breakfast was excellent and easy to understand. Our room was spacious with a Queen bed, ensuite and coffee making facilities. Everything was clean and tidy and to our liking. Food

Lovely place to stay

After ironing out a slight room issue we were upgraded to a larger, quieter room without fuss. Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. Our 2 dogs were with us too. If I was to provide any advice I would say to take some bottled water with you for convenience. 😃

Choose to stay here instead of Stansted Apt. What a good choice. Free parking. Clean and tidy room. Excellent evening meal. Good beer. Excellent breakfast. We were greeted by the very friendly and well presented receptionist. He was very informative. Our room was in the newer modern annexe- I wonder what the rooms in the main hotel and courtyard are like.

Unfortunately we had a room above the outside seating area and on a friday night it was very noisy before closing,

Big room, smaller bathroom, but all beautifully clean. Huge tv. We had room 5, on ground floor. Everything looked new. Big comfy bed. Would stay again. Oh - and free car park! Very convenient for our trip, and interesting historical village to look around.

Public areas were nice Bar/restaurant. Rooms were good but lighting was very poor for reading. Luckily had a torch. You should not drink tap water in rooms as its from tank.Very unusual. There was plenty of parking for a Saturday night.Had food in restaurant which was good but took a very long time considering it was not busy. Some Wines by the glass were poor and overpriced.Breakfast was very good and the service. (man with dark beard).Over all pleased for the price.Thaxted village is lovely near bye

We really enjoyed our stay at The Saracen's Head. The room was great, and the food was much better than other establishment in this group that we've been to before. Special mention must be given to the really friendly staff, especially the young barman Andrew. It's a long time since I have experienced a member of bar staff who interacts so well with the customers. He's a real asset to your team. Also very impressed with the breakfast service - especially Will. Well done. The Saracen's Head represents real value for money and we would most certainly stay again if in the area and recommend it to others. My only suggestion would be to smarten up the outside 'garden area' as it's a bit scruffy and spoils the entrance to the inn from the car park.
