We had a lovely few days at the Saracen’s Head. It’s in a very quiet location and great for access to the North Norfolk coast, with lovely walks all around as well. The bed and room were really comfortable and breakfasts excellent. We enjoyed a great dinner there too. Thank you Tim!

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

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.

Foodies delight!

A flying visit, arriving late and leaving early. Welcoming and comfortable, however the overwhelming standout and the reason that I will definitely return is the food - dinner and breakfast were both exceptional.

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.
