About Saracens Head Hotel
The History of the Saracens Head, stretching back more than 400 years, is featured in Charles Dickens' 1st novel, The Pickwick Papers, and now blends into the atmosphere and splendour of this restored hotel. Today, the Saracens Head Hotel is the centrepiece of modern life in Towcester, much as it has been for centuries. The same homely comforts which were enjoyed by Charles Dickens when visiting Towcester have been restored and blended with today's luxuries. The continuing story of this hotel proudly offers excellent standards of comfort and service to the discerning guest. The Residents' Lounge, with its original open fireplace and leaded windows, provides an impressive classic surrounding for guests to meet visitors or to retire with a book. Saracens Head Hotel is one of the closest hotels to the Silverstone motor racing circuit, the home of British motorsport. Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 10 miles. Due to the nature and age of the building, there is not a lift.
