We used to live in Towcester and was always under the impression that The Saracens was overpriced but not any more. Since we moved away last year, the place has had a serious amount of work done inside and it shows. The bar/dining area is much improved, it feels much bigger and is really well done. We stayed in a... More

Have just returned after spending two pleasant nights at this hotel with friends. Very friendly welcoming staff. The rooms are quaint with very comfortable beds and adequate en suite facilities. We ate in the hotel our first night there, and very much enjoyed our food, which was reasonably priced as were the drinks. The breakfast was also good with enough... More

i've known the Saracen's Head for over 30 years. It has a great location in Towcester at the A5/Brackley Road crossroad, with a large car park. Howevever it was a bit tired everywhere......until the recent closure for renovation. The bedrooms, alledgedly, each had £25K spent on a total makeover and it shows. Room rates from £70 for a double B&B... More

From the street view, this would look like a pub on the corner of the high street. But you soon see -especially as you head around the back and park, that it is more than just a pub/restaurant. We learnt that is has not long been refurbished with quite a lot of money spent on it -and it shows: It... More

Superficially you'd say this place was good. Clearly had a recent refresh, but the rooms were rushed- gaping hole in wall behind tv, radiator had been moved but they hadn't painted over the gap, leaving a square of old paint, cracked tiles in bathroom. On plus side, the bed was massive and very comfortable and modern decor. Plenty of tea,... More
