The Saracens Head was a lovely stay. Starting with the pub side it was very lovely and clean. The food was fine dining experience, slightly smaller portions than expected but quality was fabulous. Waitresses were very polite and friendly however i disagree that a service charge is automatically put on the bill and not mentioned. I prefer to tip at my decision and did not want the confrontation to have removed The rooms are lovely and clean, as other views i have seen said with a bit of TLC it could be massively improved with a few tweeks. Our curtain pole was hanging down, mould on our bathroom ceiling and just felt a bit dated with the two keys to get in. Parking oh my goodness! Signage needs to be updated or clear instructions on reservation. We were driving up and down very narrow drives looking for the carpark and it wasnt until we stopped on a bad bed where the hotel is that we saw the sign and small writing of instructions Overall an ideal stay for Stanstead Airport and would definitely go again on our next trip

Good but a few minor changes would take it from good to great. Towel rail in bathroom was permanently on maximum - not great for the hottest day of the year - and also a waste of power.

We liked the plastic duck on the side of the bath which greeted us!! Also the DAB Radio which hotels never have. Both unique to us! Despite being quite small, the bathroom is very well designed. We thought the fitments in the room were very practical with plenty of wardrobe space and sensible size bedside tables. The menu choice was good for us and despite a long wait our meals were excellent - liver and bacon and sea bass. The next morning there was an extremely long wait for coffee and then for our cooked breakfast, but we had been warned that it would be busy due to some wedding guests staying. However, our breakfast was excellent and well worth the wait. On checking out we learnt from the manager that the regular chef was injured with a trapped nerve in his arm, and the agency chef had never cooked breakfast ‘to order’ before, so well done to him/her. We will definitely stay again. If we had been staying longer we would have made use of the courtyard seating area - very nicely done.
