We had a lovely stay on a Saturday night to celebrate my partner's birthday. Made to feel so incredibly welcome by staff, food and drink at dinner and breakfast were top quality, and the peaceful tranquil countryside made for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. Already looking for another excuse for a mini break here soon!

Excellent Saracens Head

The Saracen’s Head was excellent. The welcome, the room and the food was superb.
My breakfast was certainly one of the best I have ever had.
We had evening meals two nights and they were also brilliant.
They use local produce which was fresh and tasty.
Well do to you and your team

Fabulous Norfolk Inn just peace and quiet

Located as the Pub says in the \"Middle of Nowhere\" \"In the middle of everywhere\". A fabulous location in Norfolk about 15 minutes drive from Holt and the North Norfolk Railway by a maze of little country roads. No traffic noise just peace and quiet. The food is very good and the suppliers to the pub are listed on a large blackboard in the bar, all are very local, worth mentioning are the Smoked Salmon, Sausages, Bacon and Black Pudding all top notch, Large garden to sit in on sunny days with access to the bar of course.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel and a friendly welcome. Room spacious and well-appointed. Sadly I did not find out until I had booked, that the restaurant and bar weren't open. Would have been ideal if, after a day of exploring, you could return to the hotel for an evening meal and a drink.

Absolutly fantastic!
The room was large, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was as good as any we have ever stayed at and better than most. The food was indeed fine dining. Just the right amount, but the flavours and use of ingredients was exquisite.
Staff were all very friendly, chatty and helpful and although not fine dining, the breakfast was a full full English.
Would highly recommend the Saracen's Head, they deserve success.

A Gem of a Find

We loved it - the food was absolutely first class and the service and hospitality we received could not be faulted. The inn is situated in the heart of the Norfolk countryside and set in peaceful and calm surroundings. Far away from the \"madding crowd\" but still close enough to drive to the delightful villages and seaside towns that North Norfolk has to offer. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to return in the future. A gem of a find.

Liked the little touches like the flannel for removing your make up! We found the whole experience welcoming and cosy. The food was great, the choice at breakfast was amazing especially for such a small hotel. You could tell it was locally sourced
