Girlie get together, booked in October, confirmed day before, on our way was called to ask to delay our booking untill later as they had a big party I!! Said no as we had arranged to meet, when we booked we were sent a festive menu we could have got there and menu apparently well out of date and was not available. Lunchtime menu was not very exciting,call booked the pie 5 of us only 3 left. We were offered a complementary drink whilst waiting 35mins for our food, taken into a small table in a cold room, apologies again as heater should have been on a timer. Recieved our food average no offer ofvanither drink, we asked to speak to the manager at bill time, original girl came in usual excuse just been taken over. No mention of that's previously, manager would be 10mins as on a break, came dad she would go and think about the bill offered us Coffees on the house, declined as by this time vee were very disappointed. Disgusting service and attitude won't be returning.

Stayed here for one night on a work trip, beautiful old building. Excited to be upgraded to a really grand room with a four-poster bed, for only the third time in my life! Friendly staff throughout the hotel, also helping with the pronunciation of Southwell when I asked. Breakfast experience like something out of Dickens, in the nicest sense of the phrase. (Silver plate bird-feet sugar tongs). I found it all charming and refreshingly ungentrified: the sort of hotel that we'll all be sorry for when they're gone and there are just chain hotels left. Would recommend. (Do memorise where the four posters are when the lights are still on, or you'll regret it later at night).

Lovely stay. Could not fault it. Parking available and breakfast included in the morning. Value for money. Friendly staff. Responded to emails for any questions. I would definitely stay again. Had the keys a little earlier, so I could attend a function before 3pm. Helpful staff.

Booked last minute to spend the night as we were going to Fleetwood Mac by Candlelight in the evening. Currently Mondays and Tuesdays the bar and restaurant are closed - The room is old as is the building!! But the bed was sooo cosy and we slept well. Breakfast was beautiful fresh fruit selection and full English breakfast which was delicious. Nicely served and the pots of tea were perfect. We were fascinated by things on the wall and reading its hundreds of years of history. The cast were also staying here - so it was a great opportunity to quickly say how much we enjoyed their performance at The Minster. We were fascinated by an old piece of wooden equipment with a clock. We were told it was for clicking into work from a Halifax Mill. Bought for £5!! We’ll definitely come back

Expected more from this hotel . The restaurant was decorated in the style of an old hotel and was pleasant enough but there was no meals availiable in the evening . At breakfast there was not enough staff on making slow service. Basic continental selection , cooked breakfast was basic quality ingredients cooked very averagely and not presented with any appealing look . Twin room was spacious enough but the lighting throughout the hotel is extremely stark and white casting shadows in all the wrong places making the mirrors difficult to see in . No central heating but a very rusty electric heater left in the room - no PAT testing lable on it. I am not a fan of net curtains which were throughout the hotel and not very white. Toiletries had been refilled with the incorrect item - shower gel or hand wash was in the body lotion container, again poor quality. Car park at rear good once you found it and very good location in Southwell . While understanding the need to keep costs down to run a hotel of this size, penny pinching by using low quality light bulbs and basic quality food does not give any appeal to the hotel and would discourage me from going again . Keys given for room and front door as no staff on reception overnight .

We stayed one night at The Saracens Head. I was a little reticent having read sime of the reviews calling it "dated". What an amazing building, a 14th century inn possibly the oldest in the UK. Lots of beams and low doorways. The owners have made great use of the higgldey piggldey space available. The rooms may be on the small size but full of character. The owner whilst a little eccentric could not be any more obliging, in fact all the staff are lovely. Great breakfast too. All in all a wonderul, gem of a hotel.

When you book a premium rate room with four poster bed you might expect amenities such as bottled water & facial tissues - but not here. You certainly would expect toothbrush glasses in the bathroom - but not here. You definitely would expect a wardrobe to hang your clothes but here you do not even get a coat hangar! The nearest we got to that was an old fashioned hat stand. The lack of amenity in this room was mind boggling. And be prepared for a treasure hunt trying to find their car park - the satnav gave up. If you miss the tiny dilapidated sign, buried in a mix of other signs, then you are due another lap of the town. Definitely a hotel to avoid.
