Our Story
Five Centuries of Hospitality
"A place of rest, warmth, and honest hospitality on the road through Buckinghamshire."
Built in 1530 using timbers salvaged from old ships, The Saracen's Head Inn began life as a travellers' coaching inn — a place of rest, warmth, and honest hospitality on the road through Buckinghamshire.
The building wraps around a central courtyard where carriages once clattered to a halt, horses were watered, and weary travellers found comfort after long journeys. Number 38 Whielden Street — once known as Union Street — has worn many names, but its character has never wavered.
…and rumour has it, two ghosts still roam these rooms. One is said to be a young serving wench from the 17th century. The other remains a mystery.
