Saracens Head Hotel  

On Great Dunmow’s historic High Street, opposite the old market place. A stone’s throw from Stansted Airport (about 7 miles) and within easy reach of Cambridge, Flitch Way Country Park, Hatfield Forest and Thaxted — a pet-friendly, family-friendly coaching inn in the town centre.

Built in 1600, this traditional coaching inn blends period character with modern comfort. Thirty-one individually styled rooms sit across a four-storey main house and annexe, each with en suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, desks, coffee/tea makers, premium linens and luxury toiletries.

A la carte restaurant, bar/lounge and coffee shop/cafe on site, plus a terrace for people-watching. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking and a reception desk keep things easy. Expect a lively bar with premium wines, handmade cocktails, spirits and non-alcoholic options.

Event facilities include a conference centre and two function/meeting rooms, plus complimentary wireless internet and on-site parking for delegates.

Chef-designed menus feature fresh, local produce in a full table-service restaurant (highchairs available). Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served on weekdays and weekends for a fee, and the bar serves snacks alongside a premium wine list and cocktails.
