“The Saracens Head, a historic pub dating back to the 16th century, emphasizes a traditional experience, complete with classic pub fare and live sports. Welcoming service and comfortable, if somewhat timeworn, rooms offer a practical base in Amersham. I think it's a solid choice for travellers seeking an authentic pub stay with a hearty breakfast included.”
