"The hotel is located just over the road from the main train station but doesn’t suffer from any noise or crowds. Perfectly placed to walk straight into the heart of Oxford within 10mins. The staff were very nice and polite. If you’re after a basic hotel with free WiFi, breakfast, in a good location, this is it."

"Great country space. Loved the location but would suggest trying to get there before dark to make it easier to find. Comfortable bed, quiet location, great access to walking trails and not too far into the town. Easy commute to Oxford, either park and ride or bus. Great facilities in the cottage."

"The bed was ok, it was a single, lots of storage, kettle with tea bags, tv and a safe. Bathroom light was automatic so goes off if you're in the shower, where there was no shower gel or soap. The internal stairs are fine but getting out the fire escape for out of hours access is where it's tricky. There's a balcony out there with seating. Fine for short stays and there's a bus stop outside for when it runs."

"This place was amazing. It was on the third floor and there is not an elevator, but we had no problem with it Very clean, very, very pretty, Provided tea and kettle and condiments. Really nice place. Would absolutely stay again."

"I liked everything, from the delicious breakfasts, to the quaintness and lovely private patio in the back. It is right in the middle of everything going on in Stow; yet you can have a relaxed glass of wine in the back and get away from it all. And the staff are friendly and genuinely interested in you enjoying your stay!"

"It was a really nice setting (it would have been great if it had been warm and sunny, sat out in the courtyard). The room we stayed in was very small, but clean and functional for a one or two night stay. We would definitely recommend it and will stay here again."

Love this place. The village is beautiful and full of Cotswolds charm, whilst the pub is an absolute delight for foodies. Tremendous value given the quality of the accommodation and the food. Our room was luxurious and spacious. Loved the 100 Acres toiletries, the farmhouse-style breakfast and the super-comfortable bed. This is a great base from which to explore the Cotswolds.

The only thing I would say is that the Expedia page says they have parking but they don't although there is a lot of free parking around it's not guaranteed. Otherwise a really nice place and nice to get money off for breakfast too.

Great hotel for a stopover during the last 2 stages of the Thames Path. Central and well placed for local restaurants. Nice bar and comfortable room. A+++

Just got back from a 2 night stay. Absolutely charming place to stay staff were so friendly and helpful. So close to the Center just a brief stroll down the lane would definitely come back to stay again. The dog loved it too

Costa was very welcoming with information before arrival then when arriving early with check in and letting us drop our bags in our rooms when we arrived early and more than helpful with our parking. Rooms were lovely, big and modern with all amenities, would definately return if visiting Oxford again. Thank you Costa

If you want a boutique, luxury hotel The Saracens Head is not for you and you are not for the Saracens Head. If you want an authentic 'staying at an inn' experience with good food, a wide selection of ales and ciders and friendly courteous staff then you won't find better.

One of the few places that offered parking included at a reasonable price, so off to a good start. The room was small but didn't feel too cramped, though the bed did feel smaller than a standard double which was a bit of an adjustment for my wife and I. Even the bathroom which was barely 1x2 metres just avoided feeling claustrophobic. Good enough for the one night we spent - might not hold up if you're planning on staying longer. No staff, all self-service but no issues getting into the building...
