Saracens Head Hotel by Greene King Inns
219 Watling Street West, Towcester, NN12 6BX, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I arrived later than my stated time. Not only did they wait before closing, but hey upgraded me to a larger room.
United States of AmericaStaff were fantastic, evening meal in the bar was delicious and catered for vegans so made me very happy. Breakfast was served cold, so they very kindly deducted the cost, although that was a slight downside, I would definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend.
United KingdomThe bedroom was a good size and somewhat quirky in that the floor was very uneven, it really emphasized the fact that we were in an historic property! It somehow made it more fun. There was a nice big bathroom and once we figured out how to turn on the towel rail heater, nice and warm. Dinner in the restaurant was very good and made all the more enjoyable by the young man who found us a table on a very busy Friday night and served us. I wish I had found out his name, he deserves to be commended.
United States of AmericaAll meals we had in the Hotel where exalent and the room was very comfortable.
United KingdomNice Room, Friendly staff, great location. will stay again—nice comfy bed. great location if you are travelling to the races, Silverstone,
United KingdomSmall room, but very clean, quaint, great location. The pub served great meals daily. The overall team were very knowledgable and friendly. Great value for the money, really enjoyed my stay.
United States of AmericaThe staff were extremely helpful, the accommodation was scrupulously clean, and the food was reasonably priced & very nice. I highly recommend this hotel.
United KingdomFantastic hotel, the room far exceeded our expectations and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. Made our stay very enjoyable.
United KingdomVery friendly and helpful staff in every department. Bent over backwards to help me out when I needed time in a private room after checkout. Room was large, had a lot of character and the bed was comfortable. Bed was very comfortable.
United KingdomThe staff were all really pleasant and friendly. We were made to feel that our custom mattered and all staff were very helpful and welcoming.
