About Saracens Head Inn
The Saracens Head has stood on the east bank of the River Wye at Symonds Yat for centuries, in a position that early Wye Tour visitors would still recognise, with the gorge rising steeply behind and the water passing directly below the terrace.
Nine bed and breakfast rooms sit above the pub and restaurant, most looking out over the river, and the kitchen serves a seasonal menu alongside a well-kept range of real ales. The inn draws a strong mix of walkers, canoeists and cyclists using the gorge's trail network, and it has featured in national coverage from The Guardian to Countryfile over the years.
A small hand-ferry connects the east bank directly to Symonds Yat West, making it easy to reach the Rock viewpoint and the shops and cafés on the opposite side without a long drive round.
