Beautiful building . Accommodation was clean and warm. The food was delicious and well presented. BREAKFAST WAS OUTSTANDING. Our host that morning could not do enough for us, unable to remember his name . His name begins with a B. Sounds like Birken. He is a human dynamo. Brilliant person. Well done, Kenny. He greeted us and made us welcome. Good luck with your new job.

Quiet, out of the way but near the university we were visiting. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and they an accommodated us for dinner when well booked for valentines. Dinner and breakfast menus had amazing choice. Really helpful staff who helped advise on public transport routes. Lovely country village inn style place tucked away not far from all amenities of busy high street. Perfect place to stay away from the “no car” city, but have access to visit by nearby park and ride or bus services. Very good value. Decor of room and bathroom was lovely. I’d visit again.

We loved this hotel it’s beautiful. Tastefully decorated in relaxing colours and with respect to its history , classy yet comfy. That’s a nice balance. Katie the owner is great I wish her all the success she deserves. The restaurant is superb our meal was delicious. Truly great chefs and all the staff seemed happy. A lovely garden with acers and a magnificent mature ash so good to see it thriving. Altogether a lovely stay a real pleasure. Not too many rooms so lovely and quiet. Gorgeous fittings and oak doors so lovely and quiet. We will definitely be back if we have the opportunity to visit Oxford again or stop on route to the West Country for a rest.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with taxis. The room was clean and comfortable. The Black Boy is an easy bus ride from the centre of Oxford from the bus stop on the main road costing just £2. Don’t miss the Malmaison Hotel converted prison where you can see what the cells were like. Open to the public without staying at the hotel (as in the photo)

Our time at the Black Boy was the perfect overnight stay at a traditional inn. Our room was very warm and comfortable, with a modern en suite bathroom. We also enjoyed drinks and dinner in the bar downstairs in the evening, plus breakfast the following morning - both of which were very good. The neighborhood of the inn is pleasant, and it is also very easy to reach the city of Oxford by bus. Would recommend of a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

When we arrived it was very busy in the restaurant but the staff still booked a taxi (and recommended the bus to return) into Oxford which was a great help. The room was a great size and lovely and warm after the cold weather. The bed was very comfy and the room had everything we needed. The bathroom was large and the shower was one of the best we've ever used at a hotel. We only stayed one night and ate in the restaurant. The bar is very comfy and cosy with an open fire. The restaurant was brilliant with great choices to eat. We both had 3 courses as we were celebrating. The food was served quickly and was all very tasty. There was also a great selection of wine and drinks at the bar. We'd told them that I was celebrating ending my chemotherapy treatment and they knocked the price of a bottle of wine off the bill which was a lovely touch and really made me feel special. Breakfast was also very good. Lots of choice and cooked fresh, to order. All of the staff that we came into contact with were welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return.

Breakfast options were very good. The pub also does evening meals which was great after a full day out! Staff are very friendly and helpful. An issue with the room was speedily rectified The Pub is well situated for a short break to Oxford

We liked that The Black Boy was in a residential area, with a shirt bus ride into Oxford. We prefer somewhere quieter than a busy city. The Staff were great. Both friendly & helpful. We dined in the restaurant one night & the food was delicious. The rooms are clean & comfy with a good shower.

Comfortable room with bath and shower. Tea/coffee/bottled water and biscuits provided every day. Very nice breakfast; we chose to eat in the pub every night which we enjoyed. Very helpful, cheerful staff. We left the car at the Black Boy and went by bus to Oxford which was very quick and easy so great for sightseeing. A lovely stay!

All very tasteful. Nice atmosphere pub below. Not rowdy during the weekday. Food was excellent. Extremely well presented and flavored and locally sourced. Room was clean and everything that you could possibly want. From own nespresso machines. Super clean and comfortable bed. Quiet nights sleep. Organic and responsibly sourced shampoos etc
