Just returned from a trip into the Forest of Dean and very pleased to be recommended the Saracens Head Inn right on the banks of the Wye in Symonds Yat. 16 of us had dinner there and we all loved the great food and friendly atmosphere. We returned a few days later to "play" on the old hand pulled ferry... More

I'm new to Trip Advisor so this is my first review of the Saracens even though we've been going there regularly for 16 years. It is our favourite place in the UK due to the lovely riverside location, great food, nice rooms and friendly staff. There are few better places to be than sitting by the river outside the Saracens... More

You drive down a narrow lane to the water's edge and wow...... Lovely location and comfortable Hotel which serves great food and provides excellent service. The room was a little cramped but extremely clean and the shower a bit sensitive, but this was more than compensated for by the local sourced food, cooked superbly and served with style. Breakfast was... More

Room, food, staff in apperarance and attitude all excellent. Would stay here again. Would avoid eating inside with kids, this is for couples. Outside good for kids in the... More

I visit the Saracens for a week each year, in my capacity leading a teacher training programme on an outdoor education module. In the last three years we have incidents of poor service with the groups that led me to conclude that there was a perception within the Saracen's that they had a captive audience at the road end and...

Another wonderful overnight stay at the Saracens. Lovely room overlooking the river, excellent real ale, deliciously prepared breakfast, and an excellent evening meal, all provided by enthusiastic and attentive staff. A perfect base for our walking break. I have absolutely no doubt that we will be back!

The staff at The Saracens Head are very welcoming and attentive, from the moment we arrived the young lady who checked us in... More
