It is a lovely inn with two bars, the choice of food on the menu is very good, it was served piping hot, and good portions. The hotel is in need of an upgrade the mattress was soft and saggy. The room faced onto the high St and was subject to traffic noise, one of the pull down blinds was broken and did not pull up. But for the price paid it was ok

Nice little place. Nothing fancy at all but the staff were very friendly and the beer was nice. Room was super basic, but was also super cheap so to be expected. Bed was comfortable enough. Would stay again if it I was on my own.

I am an Highworthian, I love the town and love to make visits to see relatives and old friends, and this was the purpose of my recent visit and my reason for booking a weekend at the Saracens Head. I will break my review into two. Firstly, the pub; friendly, enjoyable food, great ale, well appointed with the bars, restaurant, TV / smokers area and gardens, large car park area, as a modern-day pub I would rate it with 4 stars. Secondly as a hotel; we were shown into room 8, a twin room, although I was pretty convinced that I had booked a double, but put that down to me. The bed was comfortable and the bedding nice and crisp and clean, great so far. The furniture in the room consisted of two, 4 drawer cabinets, one with 1 drawer missing, 1 broken, and another with a pull handle missing, the cabinet had been painted but now showed batches of bare wood. The top of the cabinet housed the tea making facility; two random mugs, one spoon and all ingredients stuffed into one bowel. The second cabinet appeared ok, this one housed the TV; but no controller, so. no TV. There was no provision for clothes hanging. There was a single bedside cabinet but no bedside lighting One painted wall was covered in marks and the brown carpet looked quite dirty. Following my complaining I was told that the manager would come in and see me by 5.30, well, he did come in but never came to talk to me, I was passed a message informing me that ‘tomorrow I will move to another room and that I would be reimbur

Overall pretty good but it's out of date and needs to be updated and the mold needs to be cleaned out of the bathrooms they also need to leave a toilet brush for customers

This hotel is amazing!!!! It has so much personality, great staff, a wonderful pub to go to where one can enjoy a great dinner, other great places to go to within walking distance. And it's right next to a bus stop so it is possible to go further off and just come back in the evening. This was such a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to go back to Highworth and The Saracen's Head Hotel!!!!

It's a lovely building. I'm a heavy bloke and really did not get on with the mattress, very 'soft' (old?)... And it was a bit of a squeeze getting past the sink into the shower... But I booked a cheap room!

Old but good.
The Saracens is old but has character, the staff were very good and the food was brilliant (Chardonnay very nice too!) The stairs were a bit steep and beds a bit narrow. Not expensive, don't do breakfast but a few doors away lovely café did! A pleasant stay.
