“pretty port in a storm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

When everyone else was hiding at home waiting for the snow this weekend we decided to head for the Norfolk coast. Snow on a beach was just too much of a temptation for my Aussie husband. The Saracen's Head kept us warm and well fed and we woke to a snowy wilderness. This extraordinary building should be on everyone' route through lanes south of Cromer. Tim and his staff were very kind to us and our two furry friends. They were welcome guests in the bar in front of the log burner. Our meal was delicious, the bed huge and comfortable, the plumbing immaculate and we made it back home along the snowy lanes without a scratch.

“Best Bed and Breakfast I've stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

Having to take a long drive from London to the middle of nowhere in Norfolk having never been there before. Our room was booked for us by a friend and we stayed for one night and had dinner in the restaurant too. We checked into our room and it was of great quality and at £85 per night it was great value for excellent quality. The meal in restaurant was fantastic gastro pub food and the beef Wellington I had was amazing. The breakfast in the morning was amazing to able to choose from any cooked breakfast option and again it was great quality.

“Can't wait to visit again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Three of us were booked in for 2 nights -3 & 4 November. We had two fantastic rooms (5 & 6) on the first floor. They were really good sized rooms with ensuite - good decoration and furnishing with attractive ensuite - immaculately clean. Duvet cover and towels were all quality items Hot drinks facility in room - ranging from fresh coffee to Earl Grey tea along with multi channel tvs!.

We were given a warm welcome and shown our rooms - really helpful staff - helped with bags etc.

Breakfast was excellent - great choices and fresh local produce used - mushrooms were great!

We had dinner in the restaurant - 10 of us in total - on the Friday night - good range of choices - with many items locally sourced. Lovley fresh vegetables provided with the main courses. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Being London based I didnt consider the prices unreasonable - another reviewer commented on the treacle tart being costly- some of our guests had it with ice cream and said how good it was! .I enjoyed the selection of local Ice Cream - delicious!

Allthough a remote setting it was close to Cromer and other attractions and had a lovely sense of calm. It was great to wake on the first morning and look out of the window and see a field full of rabbits and pheasants. We also enjoyed the wood burner in the bar and huge log fire in the restaurant.

Looking forward to a future visit to the Saracen's and to meet Tim and his staff again.

“Refuge in the wilderness”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

person found this review helpful

My wife & I enjoyed a good meal helped down with a nice Prosecco, which was followed by a comfortable nights sleep in a huge bed. This Inn is very isolated, so lots of tranquility at night - and it's also very quirky. Our room was a good size with a lovely bathroom, but at £95 maybe slightly overpriced. However, an enjoyable stay and well worth a visit.

“in the middle of everywhere”

had 3 nights b& b at saracens head this week, a lovely looking place in a very rural and quiet setting.You need a sat nav to find it unless you know the area.The bedroom was immaculately clean ,lovely white duvet covers and lovely fluffy towels in a large and warm bathroom. Tim welcoming and all staff we saw very friendly. One young waitress printed off some details for us about some gardens we wanted to visit which was really helpful.
Breakfasts were everything we hoped for ,plentiful and well cooked fresh food and some wow mushrooms you must try.We had an excellant evening meal one evening at the Saracens which was lovely and the place was busy which was nice to see in the middle of the week in the middle of september in the middle of nowhere. There are many excellant places to visit without having to travel to far.
