I stay here every time I go to Stansted. It is the kindest and friendliest place i have ever stayed. The staff are lovely, the rooms are really comfy and the breakfast is extensive. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else.

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

Great Stay
We only stayed for a short time as we were flying out via Stansted Airport but the time we spent in the hotel was lovely and all the staff were really friendly. We were even upgraded to a quieter area because we had such an early start and it was our wedding day.
