Welcome to the fabulous Saracens -- a beautifully converted, Grade II listed, former Inn and restaurant.

Now a luxurious, and elegantly designed, venue combining historic charm with a modern feel.

Idyllic for family gatherings, birthdays and weddings, reunions, or a special getaway, our stunning 7 super king bedroom home, each with an ensuite bathroom, (plus 2 cloakrooms downstairs) offers everything you need for an unforgettable stay.

A great house for all ages and tastes.

Pack your swimwear for the best feature of the house - the superb indoor heated swimming pool (with inflatable toys for all ages). We have water polo, rings, floats and all sorts, to keep everyone smiling!

Throw on your complimentary fluffy robe between swims.

Fancy a sauna? We have that covered too. Just next to the pool for that added wow factor.

Exhausted the aquatic fun for one day?.....have a quick shower, dry off, pop on your complimentary robe and walk through to the bar - with 2 wine / drinks fridges - for pre-dinner drinks.

Later, make your dining special and pre-book a private chef (ask for details) to completely indulge; or for the chefs amongst you, make use of the abundant kitchen amenities to rustle up a meal for your friends and family.

Why not regroup back at the BAR for a few cocktails and watch TV and chat, or plonk down in the cosy lounge with another large smart TV, (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky - movies, Disney) to play games and chat.

Finally after it all becomes too much...head to your super comfy bedroom to recharge for the following day.

We've even named your rooms to reflect the character of the house and its former elegant restaurant and Inn heritage.

Choose from the beautiful 'Chambord' (the primary bedroom), 'Jamesons' or 'Malfy' on the first floor. These are the largest rooms.

And 'Haig','Bombay', 'Smirnoff' and 'Disaronno' on the second floor.

*** BEDS ***
With at least 14 days notice before your stay, we can, on request split any of the Super-king beds into 2 singles, giving you more flexibility for family members or friends.

For each bed split and reconnect after your stay, there is an additional fee of £20 per bed. So if you require all 7 beds changing to singles, there will be a fee of £140 for extended cleaning time.

Please advise if you need this service as early as possible. Thank you.
