The location of the Inn and the friendly staff. So kind of Rob for helping us with phone calls and letting my relatives use his phone to contact me. I had Cell phone issues. The Inn had a local feel to it and provided walkable and enjoyable outings. Especially the Memorial Gardens across the street. The breakfasts were large and we enjoyed the traditional English fry up! There are also some nice restaurants near by within walking distance. The courtyard is cute and it was nice to sit out there for a bit when the weather was good.

Located in Amersham's Old Town, the Saracens Inn exudes old-world charm, with its rustic decor and exposed beams creating an inviting ambiance into the pub. Our room boasted a large and incredibly comfortable four-poster bed. The staff were helpful and friendly, explaining us the quirks of the vintage toilet mechanism (no, it's not broken!) Additionally, full English breakfast prepared by the staff was a delicious treat, setting us up for the day ahead. Excellent location to visit old Amersham and hike in the Chilterns.

Firstly, the location is great. Right in the centre of the old town. Full of beautiful, old, charming buildings. The Saracens Head Inn is a wonderful, traditionally British pub, complete with low beam ceilings and classic British pub bar, stools, chairs. We haven't been back to the UK for more than 5 years and we absolutely loved staying in an old Inn, reminiscent of growing up in rural Gloucestershire. The actual pub area brought back memories of working in a pub a few decades ago, cleaning the brass, washing glasses, clearing the beer drip trays. Love that smell. Full of friendly locals having a pint and chatting about their day with staff who were engaging and happy. The room we were in was very spacious, lots of space for a good size double bed, a couple of comfy chairs, full length mirror, place to hand your towel, wardrobe. Coffee machine as well as a kettle. Good size teacups, plenty of supplies and absolutely delicious biscuits. Everything thoughtfully put together.Good size showerroom with full body size towels and complimentary toiletries. We were very late to breakfast, and realised we've probably missed it. However, the chef made us a delicious bacon and sausage sandwich and plenty of tea, coffee and orange juice. Very grateful he still made sure we had a good breakfast. I forgot to ask his name, but he was very friendly, helpful and clearly a hard worker.

A lovely and quaint Inn. The pub was small and cosy, great choice of lagers on tap! Bed was comfortable and the place had a lot of history to it. Our room was on a slant due to how hold the infrastructure of the building is, which I thought was amusing and added a lot of character! Breakfast was also great and staff were friendly and welcoming.

The location was within all local attractions. I read some reviews before booking with such remarks as there was no vegetarian breakfast and heating not working. Well, I had a vegetarian breakfast with no complaints. It was just the best. The heater in my room was self regulated and no problem. It’s an historical hotel with an interesting history.

The accommodation is above possibly the best pub I've been in. Welcoming, well priced food, descent beer, great atmosphere. Just great. The room was clean & tidy. The bed was comfy. The place is a bit quirky so don't expect a standard boring hotel chain. It's full of character, as you might expect in a 500 year old pub. The town/village is delightful too. Well worth a stroll around. There is no car parking onsite but if you ask it is available with a two minute walk

Nice old fashioned pub serving real ales with parking on main road outside. Breakfast available from 7am so good for contractors needing an early start. No Food Monday evenings but a good Indian Restaurant virtually directly opposite. Underground station 0.7miles away with cheap car parking available in multi-story.
