Saracens Head Hotel

Saracen's Head Hotel, Beddgelert

The Saracen’s Head Hotel is built on a site with a long history known in part for over 800 years. From the 1500s until the 1800s it was a farm called Glasdraean. A new farmhouse was built around the late 1500s, and an internal post and panel walls survives. By the 1790s the farmhouse was also an Inn. It is first recorded as “The Saracen’s Head” in 1827; the origin of the name is not known.
