Established in 1825, The Saracens Head Hotel provides 12 en-suite rooms with tea and coffee facilities, TVs, and carpeted floors. The property features two bars, including an oak-panelled lounge with an open fire and an outdoor terrace with space for alfresco dining. Guests can dine on pub food served at lunch and dinner or watch live sports on SKY and BT Sport. The garden includes a covered wood-lined area for candlelit dining and a larger open-air space with tables for groups. A continental breakfast is available for an additional charge at The Saracens Head Hotel. The inn is in Highworth's town center, within 10 minutes of Swindon and the M4 motorway. Nearby landmarks include National Trust Coleshill Mill (3 km) and Shrivenham Park Golf Club (5 km). The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, babysitting services, and an outdoor tennis court. Gloucestershire Airport is 60 km away.

Pros

The historic oak-panelled lounge bar includes an open fire and a selection of over 20 gins.

The garden features a covered dining area with candlelit tables and a spacious outdoor seating area.

The property is centrally located in Highworth, within walking distance of local restaurants and shops.

Free Wi-Fi and self-parking are available for convenience.

Cons

Two third-floor rooms are basic and lack some amenities found in others.

The cooked breakfast requires an additional charge beyond the included continental option.

“The Saracens Head places you squarely in Highworth's Market Square, balancing a vibrant pub atmosphere with exceptionally friendly service. Expect a comfortable, clean room and surprisingly good food, particularly the pub fare. I found it to be a solid value, especially considering the free parking and easy access to the Cotswolds.”
