Stay in a historic hotel
The Saracens Hotel, Towcester, is centuries old and is brimming with character. In fact, it even features in Charles Dickens’ novel ‘The Pickwick Papers’, meaning it has its own slice of history in this Roman town.
Families, couples, friends and solo travellers are all welcome at the Saracens head, with 21 lovingly kept bedrooms, each awaiting your stay. All of the bedrooms have their own distinct character, are traditionally furnished and feature period touches and nods to the past of the hotel. You’ll find tea and coffee-making facilities in your room for that essential hot drink in the morning, plus a flatscreen TV and free Wi-Fi to keep you connected during your stay. Each bedroom also has an updated private bathroom, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
