The room was lovely, the hotel itself is lovely very easy to find and great parking checking in was very easy and very pleasant.

The pub is nice, good beer, the staff all seemed like they were brand new to the job. My wife and I had two breakfasts in there and they managed to get one of the orders completely wrong, we had one dinner in there, and we were served our main course before our starters. Which were taken back, and obviously just left under heat lamps while we got and ate our starters. Also we had a meal deal two mains and two drinks for a set price . Although we had two rounds of drinks and were charged for both rounds, so overall not the best service ever

What I did like about the hotel was the location, it was great. The service was good. The staff were pleasant. The food was really enjoyable. The restaurant and bar area were nice, comfortable and had a relaxed atmosphere. The room we stayed in was very spacious. The bathroom had everything you would need and we enjoyed our stay. It was very reasonably priced and included breakfast but I can't comment on the breakfast as we unfortunately had to leave early.

The only negative would have been how comfortable the bed was in room 3. It was a good size, pillows and duvet were fine. It was just the mattress, as there were two singles pushed together and we were rolling into the centre of the bed, and I didn't sleep as well as I hoped.

We booked Room 9, it was big and very comfortable, big comfy bed, super shower, quiet even though a Friday and Saturday night, iron and ironing board which we needed as going to wedding, and hairdryer and plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. All staff very friendly and helpful. Super delicious evening meal, I had lamb shank and lovely New Zealand sauvignon blanc. Very historic quirky interesting building. As with all of Towcester, the oldest village in Northamptonshire, fascinating to walk round and learn about its past. Some super cafes for brunch and coffee. No bus service on Sunday but Uber and Zoom taxis reliable. 40 mins on bus 88 to Northampton. We loved it

I think maybe they needed more staff on at breakfast as it seemed a bit stressful for them, and unfortunately there were a lot of flies on the breakfast buffet table which was a bit off putting. We went out for breakfast the second morning. But really we had a lovely time and the place is full of character and ancient charm and our room was super, good value I think, we paid £200 ish for 2 nights with breakfast.

There was a problem with our room (broken shower) when we checked in, Jo at reception had been unable to contact us in the morning to advise us of the issue before we arrived and so they came up with a solution to ensure that we could carry on with our booking. Jo was very apologetic and went above and beyond to compensate for any inconvenience. Our stay at the hotel was very pleasurable, we ate both evening meal and breakfast there and were very impressed with the choice, quality and service received. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel and pub.

The staff were incredibly accommodating of us and our 2 year old! The room was huge! The breakfast was incredible with a huge range of toast coffe fruit yoghurts pastries and traditional/ continental options with the thickest bacon and plumpest sausages! 9 minutes to Dadford campsite- perfect for our events!

Overall the room was excellent and huge! There was a bit of peeling paint and an old leak spot on the ceiling that could do with some TLC but it didn’t affect our stay one bit! The tap was a bit loud (to be expected in an old place!) and the room was a bit hot but the staff were incredibly quick to get us a fan! Overall these were not big negatives- they didn’t impact the happiness of our stay at all just things that could be tweaked to make it a flawless stay!

For the price and location the Saracen's head can be recommended. It's really handy for visits to Towcester and Silverstone and within walking distance of a number of good pubs/eateries on the high street. The breakfast is very good. The rooms are with ensuite and absolutely fine for the price paid. The parking his very handy too.

Nothing much to dislike! It is in a busy location so if the noise of the town would disturb you, it's not the hotel for you, but for me it was fine.

The staff made my stay exceptional - I have stayed in many hotels over the years but have never recieved the standard of care and attention to my needs. I have mobility issues and at every turn someone was there offering to assist me. I think the best critique would be to state I will be staying here again asap. Full english breakfast was lovely - I was offered choices of egg and I went with poached - it was perfect.

Air con in the room would have been nice - I restrained from opening the bedroom window - to be fair almost a non issue.

Breakfast was excellent value for money. A choice of continental and or traditional, fresh pastries and fruit each morning and a decent cup of coffee. Hot food was very good, well presented and cooked fresh. Room was a nice size and beds comfy if a little soft. Restaurant staff friendly. Food good and excellent atmosphere. I was worried staying in a pub and our room was over the bar but by 11.30 at the latest all quiet and peaceful

The bathroom was clean and over the bath shower was good, but there was a few small maintenance matters that made it look uncared for. Holes not filled in under the towel rail. Black stick on skirting board breaking up and coming away. New sink pedestal fitted and the gap in flooring left. Mould on the grouting in a couple of places, which a bit of a well known product would have sorted out. These things are small and didn’t detracted from the overall value but niggled and if fixed would have meant no negative comments about this stay.

Good value for what we paid especially with breakfast included. Large, comfortable room. Good on site parking. Friendly staff in hotel and restaurant. Good location for town centre- walking distance for plenty of bars and restaurants. Great breakfast included- a good choice. Ate in the restaurant as a varied menu with good prices.

Noisy outside fans/extractor cut in throughout the night. Didn't disturb my husband but kept waking me up. Nothing else.

A very nice hotel, situated in easy walking distance of local shops, pubs and restaurants. Free parking, great breakfast. My room was a decent size with a good en suite bathroom. The restaurant and bar were pleasant and not too busy, although I only stayed on a Monday night. The price I paid was very good value for money compared to what I would have paid to stay in a city centre hotel. The staff were all polite and helpful.

There was nothing I can suggest to improve the hotel. It would have been nice if there were lifts, but that's probably impractical in such an old building. The hotel is on a busy road, but I had specifically looked for somewhere in the heart of things.
