The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept well but downsides were that the TV was missing the remote control and worse still the picture started breaking up after a few minutes of viewing so was pretty much unusable. We also had to secure the window in the room with a shoelace as it was half hanging off its hinges... More

Have eaten at this hotel , mostly with family groups, on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. The staff make you most welcome and do all they can to make the meal enjoyable. They can provide private rooms for wedding etc or you can eat at the bar. The food is well cooked with an extensive menu... More

We stayed here for 2 nights with friends and found the rooms to be quite comfortable and the bathroom clean with a good shower. The main downside to this hotel is that there is no lounge, there was nowhere to sit after our meal, to relax. We expected a settee or nice seating in the bar but there are only... More

We stayed for two nights attending at nearby Silverstone. Rooms o'k, bathroom and plumbing poor, bed hard but useable. We had dinner both nights, my Partners steaks were very good, my fish pie was served cold and quickly re-heated. This is a curious and very draughty place. The odd layout a mixture of old and new, the bar area tatty... More

Yes he room was clean, but the decor and furniture had seen better days. The staff were friendly and helpful, but it was all just a little unloved and in need of investment. More

Visited Saracens Head for a weekend break. It is a lovely old inn with some charm. The room we was given was large with a 6ft bed which was exceptionally comfy. The room was well maintained and clean and had everything we required. The breakfast both days was good with plenty of choice. For evening meal we had the most... More

Have just returned from a meal at the Saracens Head Restaurant in Towcester. We had the shared starter which was quite good - Stuffed mushrooms, Wedges, Duck Roll, Prawns and Garlic Bread - they were out of stuffed mushrooms, but substituted them for garlic ones, which was fine. We both ordered Sirloin steak surf and turf - medium rare. My... More

The 1st thing we have to say about our one night stay at this hotel, was that we cannot praise the young lady on Reception highly enough.
