The Saracen’s Head Hotel
Review
The Saracen’s Head in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, is a historic gem that dates back centuries, steeped in fascinating stories and charm. Owned by the passionate David Donegan, a retired, yet esteemed solicitor, who has an enduring love for Georgian architecture, this hotel offers a unique blend of history and hospitality. Despite its origins long before the Georgian era, David fell in love with the building, especially its storied past. One of its most notable features is the bedroom where King Charles I spent his final night in freedom in 1646 before surrendering to the Scottish forces in Newark. This romantic and historic setting is complemented by a dedicated team of staff who strive to make every guest's stay unforgettable. With a fantastic on-site restaurant, there’s no need to venture far for a meal. Dining at the Saracen’s Head offers a chance to experience history in one of Southwell's most iconic buildings.
