The Black Boy

We had the pleasure of spending one night at this property, and from the very moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and smiling owner, which immediately created a pleasant atmosphere. Both the room and the bathroom were spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated in soft, neutral tones. The house is small and intimate, which contributes to a peaceful and private stay. The guest rooms are located on the upper floor, while the ground floor houses a pub where breakfast is served in the morning. We stayed from Sunday to Monday and, despite the presence of the pub, experienced no disturbances whatsoever. In fact, the bar was closed from 6:00 PM, yet the owner kindly prepared drinks for us, demonstrating a level of personal attention rarely found in larger hotels. Breakfast was offered in five or six different options; the one we chose was delicious and thoughtfully presented. We can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who values hospitality, cleanliness, and a cozy, intimate atmosphere.

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.

Lovely stay at very friendly pub well located for local amenities and only short cab/bus ride from oxford centre. Rooms clean, spacious and well thought out. Breakfast was great, variety of options. Staff really friendly.

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)
