All the rooms at The Saracens have free WiFi, a flat-screen TV and tea and coffee making facilities.

The Saracens Head mixes the old with the new; offering modern comforts to complement its rich history, which dates even further back than its visit from King Charles in 1642. The inn offers conferencing and banqueting facilities in elegant surroundings.
