A characterful hotel with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are unobtrusive but always there to help. Communal areas are clean, comfortable and relaxed. The breakfast menu offers something for everyone from "big boy fry up" to delicate salmon and eggs.
This was a second visit and we continue to be impressed Read less

"Noisy smokers in Courtyard"
On arrival we found we'd be in Room 19. We've stayed there before & don't like it as the bathroom is down a flight of stairs.
The staff were very helpful in finding us an alternative room (Room 22).
Unfortunateluy, on the 2nd night, until 3:30am smokers came out from the New Year's party (held in the Function Room) into the courtyard directly below Room 22 (& Room 21). Afteer that the coutyard was used until 4:30pm by staff workers who smoked.
Consequently we had a very bad nights sleep. Read less
Likes:
The position and the overall services
Dislikes:
As mentioned above, the noise from the smokers using the courtyard until 4:30am on our 2nd night.

The Saffron Hotel in Saffron Walden offers 16 individually decorated en suite rooms, all comfortably furnished. All rooms are well equipped with a television with freeview, a hair dryer, ironing facilities and tea/coffee making equipment. We also offer room service.

At the Saffron Hotel, the restaurant provides an excellent menu with a choice of mouth-watering food that is sure to delight. We also offer a children's menu.

Saffron Walden takes the second part of its name from the threatening fortification of Walden Castle, erected by the Normans after the Conquest, and the first from the rare and precious saffron crocus, for which the town became famous, used in medicine, cooking and as the source of a rich yellow dye.

Appropriately, therefore, Saffron Hotel lives up to its name by the warm, rich, cheerful yellow of its frontage. Dating back to the 16th century, the hotel is at the centre of this quintessentially English market town.

Saffron Walden itself is an unspoilt country town, with narrow streets and old buildings, many of them 'pargeted'. The town's specialist shops are well worth exploring. Audley End, England's largest Jacobean mansion, is on the doorstep, and the beautiful university town of Cambridge is just 12 miles away. The Imperial War Museum at Duxford is also within driving distance.
