• Andrina (10/5): - We had a lovely few days at the Saracen’s Head. It’s in a very quiet location and great for access to the North Norfolk coast, with lovely walks all around as well. The bed and room were really comfortable and breakfasts excellent. We enjoyed a great dinner there too. Thank you Tim!

• Richard (10/5): Fabulous place to stay. - Anyone visiting Norfolk must consider staying at this hotel. The food is excellent and the breakfasts quite amazing. The Host and his Staff are just the very best.
• Norman (10/5): Fabulous Norfolk Inn just peace and quiet - Located as the Pub says in the "Middle of Nowhere" "In the middle of everywhere". A fabulous location in Norfolk about 15 minutes drive from Holt and the North Norfolk Railway by a maze of little country roads. No traffic noise just peace and quiet. The food is very good and the suppliers to the pub are listed on a large blackboard in the bar, all are very local, worth mentioning are the Smoked Salmon, Sausages, Bacon and Black Pudding all top notch, Large garden to sit in on sunny days with access to the bar of course.
• John (10/5): - excellent customer service fabulous breakfast thanks :)
• Mrs L J (10/5): Lovely hotel - Lovely hotel and a friendly welcome. Room spacious and well-appointed. Sadly I did not find out until I had booked, that the restaurant and bar weren't open. Would have been ideal if, after a day of exploring, you could return to the hotel for an evening meal and a drink.
• david (10/5): - Calm and peaceful. Great countryside for cycling. Friendly ,helpful staff. We will definitely be back.

• Antony (10/5): 5***** Excellent - Absolutly fantastic! The room was large, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was as good as any we have ever stayed at and better than most. The food was indeed fine dining. Just the right amount, but the flavours and use of ingredients was exquisite. Staff were all very friendly, chatty and helpful and although not fine dining, the breakfast was a full full English. Would highly recommend the Saracen's Head, they deserve success.
• Alice (10/5): A Gem of a Find - We loved it - the food was absolutely first class and the service and hospitality we received could not be faulted. The inn is situated in the heart of the Norfolk countryside and set in peaceful and calm surroundings. Far away from the "madding crowd" but still close enough to drive to the delightful villages and seaside towns that North Norfolk has to offer. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to return in the future. A gem of a find.
• Peter (10/5): - Very friendly staff and excellent breakfast
• Verified traveler (8/5): In the middle of nowhere. - Good food & service. Very out of the way, you'll need good navigation skills to find it. Hard bed.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Would go again! - We loved it here, the staff were so friendly, we felt at home and nothing was too much trouble. The room was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. Liked the little touches like the flannel for removing your make up! We found the whole experience welcoming and cosy. The food was great, the choice at breakfast was amazing especially for such a small hotel. You could tell it was locally sourced

• Andrew (10/5): Perfect location - Perfect location “in the middle of nowhere - in the centre of everything!” Great for cycling along country lanes including to Blickling. Friendly staff and thorough, consistent COVID measures in place. Recommended.
• Stuart (10/5): - Over casual attitude from management when given an unclean pair of ladies knickers which were found in our room. No apologies given or statement of more future attention will be given by cleaning staff. I felt like they could/would not attend to any problem found.

• Helen (10/5): - It was a little piece of heaven - quiet, great food, lovely surroundings
