Stayed here for a couple of nights what a lovely place it is. Our room was lovely and clean, comfy bed extra pillows if needed, tea coffee and biscuits. No noise whatsoever from the bar downstairs food was absolutely lovely we ate here for breakfast and evening meal all meals were very reasonable. Thanks to Mackenzie for serving us and making sure we were all happy and Thanks to the chef for the best sweet and sour chicken and the lady who cooked our breakfast the best poached eggs. So if your looking for a place to stay give the saxon inn a try you won’t be dissaponted

I stayed in the family room and was very impressed with the high standards throughout. Would highly recommend You can see that the owners take pride in the establishment and it really shows, all the staff are extremely pleasant and cannot do enough to make the stay comfortable. The restaurant area is clean/modern/well kept and the homemade pizza was spot on!!!! 10/10 all round.

Great value for money. Room 4 was lovely with bathrobes, plenty of toiletries, tea, coffee and biscuits. Very comfortable bed and room included a sofa and the full length mirror in the wardrobe a great addition. Breakfast was fantastic and great choice. We ate twice on an evening and both times was delicious. Above all though each and every member of staff we met went above and beyond and were so pleasant and happy and are anabsolute credit. Would definitely stay again.

We received a very warm welcome when we booked in and found other staff extremely friendly too. Our evening meal was delicious and the room we had was comfortable and spacious. We would recommend this friendly inn to anyone who needs a short break. It's in an idyllic location too.

Well worth a visit. 2 lunches for £13! I love the homemade chips. Family friendly pub in a beautiful village. View of the Saxon church from the restaurant. Warm welcome from the staff. Lovely atmosphere. We finished off with a delicious homemade cheesecake.

I have nothing but praise for this wonderful establishment...... we booked the Saxon Inn as our base for the Platinum Jubilee weekend and a visit to the Kynren. We could have not picked a better place to stay, from the moment we arrived to the day we checked out we where made to feel very welcome by both the Management and Staff, even the locals that used the hotel bars made us feel right at home. The hotel has 9 rooms, and our party of 4 stayed in rooms 5 and 7, The Rooms where very comfortable and spotless, the beds gave you a great nights sleep. The hotel food was excellent, and plentiful. What makes this hotel a wee gem is its Staff, The Staff could not do enough for you, nothing was a problem for them, they went about their day making sure you had a wonderful stay. A special thank you has to go to Vicky and Margaret for looking after us so well. The hotel put on events for its guests and locals of the village to celebrate the Jubilee weekend with Live Music, a BBQ, a Jubilee buffet..... that was a great touch by the hotel as we mixed with the locals and had a cracking time. Thank you the Saxon Hotel...... for making our Platinum Jubilee weekend a fantastic one.
