29 years ago we got married in Southwell Minster and had our wedding reception at the Saracens Head. We were revisiting old memories which didn't disappoint. Lovely old fashioned building with character and history. One slight concern was the fact the bar had closed early so we had to find an alternative establishment, which wasn't difficult however. Probably a sign of the times due to limited staffing. Despite this very slight hiccup, I highly recommend and will perhaps revisit next year for our 30th. Thank you everyone.

This hotel is itself a fabulous piece of unspoiled history - cosy and comfortable. Check out the fascinating displays of its past. It is an ancient building - twisty staircases, low doorways and uneven floors are part of the charm. Modern facilities don't distract from the ancient structure. Good parking Extremely convenient for a wander around Southwell - great shops and amazing Minster.

Many of the power points in the room didn't accommodate normal plugs. Couldn't get near any mirrors with the hairdryer provided. Bar opening hours not as shown in booking.com or on website - not a temporary situation.

Ideal location as going to evening horse racing at Southwell track then going onto Maret Raen the next day. Good hearty breakfast. Cheery "Good morning" from resident guest. Would return again.

The way into the car park is hard to find if you don't know the way in......I had to park car the away from hotel and walk back. Go inside and ask directions. That's the way it is unfortunately. Along one way High Street pass Post Office . At end of one way to left in narrow road pass school in large car park. Give your car number or you will be charged. The pub part was closed at 9.00 when I returned from racing

Very relaxed and friendly for our dogs with a nice walk beside the primary school which we would have explored further if the weather had been more clement. The breakfast was excellent and we loved the clocks.

It is wonderful that the hotel has electric car chargers on site - a real bonus - but the information on the charging point is out of date and without help from the hotel staff I would never have managed to charge my car. The App identity needs a label over it to give the correct App name. Directions to the car park could be better both on the sign board and on the website.

A wonderful historic building in the centre of Southwell. Beautiful panelled dining room. Excellent breakfast. Very good car park. When we arrived an oil filed radiator was on in the room, making it pleasantly warm. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

I had investigated how to arrive at the hotel car park using google maps since the route in is just after a one way street. So I knew what I was looking for. Yet the signage was almost non-existent and I found myself in the wrong car park. Added to this is the appalling road/track with the biggest pothole I have experienced. DRIVE CAREFULLY- you could lose a wheel especially in the dark!

We stayed for 4 nights. Everything exceeded our expectations. The Bedrooms have wonderful comfy beds, even the biscuits on the tea tray are special. The breakfast is delicious, the fresh fruit includes individual bowls of fresh Blueberries, raspberries, melon, pineapple. The full English breakfast is cooked to order and is the best we have had. The staff are friendly and helpful. The car park is free and the hotel is in a wonderful position. It is a lovely place to stay and all the extras makes it good value indeed.

We would have loved to stay longer than the 4 nights.

The hotel is in a truly historic building, full of charm and atmosphere. The location is magnificent, bang in the centre of Southwell and just a short stroll from the Minster (which is what brought me to town). The vegetarian breakfast I requested was cooked fresh to order and was delicious, and there was also plenty of fresh fruit on offer. There's a spacious car park at the back of the hotel, which also doubles as a public car park, but registering this on a tablet at the front desk took seconds. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. Also, I'd booked a single room but was assigned a double, which was much appreciated.

The room overlooked the main road through town, which got quite busy as day broke. Also, the pub over the road had music playing until just after closing time. The noise wasn't the hotel's fault, of course, but if you're a light sleeper you might want to ask if you can have a room at the back.

Decoration history the paintings and shio in glass cabin i saw lovely sunrise in morning room was red .its convenient,traffic can hear but it stops at night time bus stops not far away minster just straight down to right .there's a library its closed one day week .so if you have to wait to book in there are plenty of places to sit stay warm off street at moment pool isn't open.like old fashioned key for room .bath golden taps i wanted to read up more on history have break fast.

Prefer to put kettle on table. Wish Southwell has luggage storage spaces .

The bedroom was tastefully decorated, the bed was very comfortable. The room retained the heat: so much that i slept on top of the bed for the three nights, rather than in it. The staff went the extra mile to offer assistance and enhanced my stay. The atmosphere was ambient and of a caring nature.

The bathroom was tastefully decorated and with a lot of space BUT the mirror was not high enough (more men are over 6ft tall these days and i couldn't see in the mirror when wet-shaving without bending my knees).

Interesting place, and difficult to review; depends on what you expect from a hotel. Great location, warm room, comfy bed, great breakfast and reasonable price.

No evening meal on offer and bar was shut at 8pm. Not a problem though as there are excellent other pubs and restaurants nearby within a 2 minute walk. Manageress gave a very curt, but clear, briefing on arrival and clearly doesn't take prisoners. All above made one feel that this place is run more for the benefit of the management rather than the clientele.
