    free parking

    Couldn't recommend more for a weekend trip

    Comfortable bed, warm duvet, the room was well furnished with a flat-screen TV, and the free parking made it easy to explore the surrounding area.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    pleasant stay with a bit of a staffing issue

    The staff provided remarkable service throughout my three-night stay. They made a genuine effort to make me feel valued, especially as I saw their dedication during busy times.

    The hotel appeared slightly short-staffed during my visit.

    impeccably clean
    comfortable bed
    accommodating staff
    insufficient air conditioning
    stuffy room

    I had a very pleasant stay at The Saracens Head during my recent work trip. The room was impeccably clean, featuring high-quality fittings and a comfortable bed. The location is excellent, situated in the quaint village center, just a 5-minute drive from Stansted Airport. The staff were exceptionally accommodating, even arranging for breakfast items to be available since I was leaving early.

    The air conditioning in my room was insufficient, making it stuffy at times.

    Spacious room and enjoyable atmosphere

    We were lucky to receive a suite upgrade, making for a lovely and spacious accommodation. The breakfast, unfortunately, fell short, as the scrambled eggs were too watery and the coffee service was lacking, causing disappointment.

    delicious breakfast
    cozy garden
    loud noise

    We had a lovely stay here last weekend with our dog, and the breakfast was delicious while also being generous! The cozy garden area was perfect for relaxing after a long day, and the weekend live music added a fun vibe to our dinner. Just a heads up, the noise from the bar outside was a bit loud, but it didn’t ruin our overall experience. 🐶

The bathroom needed updating, as some fixtures felt outdated. The carpets in the room had bits on them, which detracted from the overall cleanliness. Despite these minor inconveniences, my stay still felt quite enjoyable.
