The Black Boy was a lovely stay in an original pub. The staff were lovely, as well as helpful, the pub was a short walk from shops and cafes. And the staff graciously called us a taxi into Oxford. We stayed here for a wedding in Oxford and it was the perfect stay. The room was very clean, well stocked with tea and coffee, and the local soaps were nice in the clean and modern bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was great, too, with a proper full English breakfast.

Walked in and great friendly staff , lovely room , great food in restaurant can’t fault the place

They were so kind to us opening breakfast early so we could get to LHR at a time they also helped us determine. The room was great, I would recommend this to anyone. Oxford is a bit of a mess right now with all the road work so staying on the outskirts was a benefit.

Food was exceptionally good and staff were so friendly

Has character. Staff excellent.

A bed & breakfast that far exceeded our expectations. Will stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay. No issues. Comfortable room great food and drink

Super friendly host; made the whole stay so pleasurable and relaxing! Thanks!

As our son lives nearby my wife and i have stayed before and also been in regularly for drinks and found every experience a good one. Staff are aways so polite and helpful. Rooms are excellent and breakfast also excellent. My wife very impressed with the vegetarian breakfast as few places get this right. We have already booked to stsy again

Friendly and helpful staff, especially Sarah. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Parking is available but arrive early-limited. Smallish room but was fine for one night. Public transportation to Oxford nearby.

A lovely place to stay in Oxford. Easy to get into town, and a nice neighbourhood around the pub (pictured, and easy walking distance to the famous shark house!). Good food and numerous choices. Room was clean and comfortable

Lovely staff, excellent breakfast.

Lovely pub stay. The room was very comfortable, forecourt parking, public transport short walk away. Breakfast included.

What a great find. We were going back & forth to JR from Reading but decided to stay over as it saves time and The Black Boy was excellent- staff so helpful and friendly, food was amazing and our room lovely - we will be going back.

Brilliant, great location, easy to get to, really homely and friendly. Will stay again, discovered late on a park around the corner and the house with a shark in the roof, 200 yards away. Highly recommend

A very relaxing stay, staff very friendly with excellent breakfast

Could not fault the friendly welcome, helpful advice on local services, breakfast and dinner options/menu and comfort/cleanliness of the Black Boy Inn. It is located within 5 minutes walk of regular bus services into Central Oxford (about 15 minutes away). It has off-street on-site parking which is important in the narrow, busy streets. Can highly recommend the Black Boy Inn for its accommodation and meals and I would not hesitate to stay there again.

We stayed at The Black Boy, Headington, hidden away on the outskirts of Oxford and a cheap taxi ride into town. From the moment we arrived the manager and her staff were so welcoming and really helpful. Atmosphere was great, room comfy and breakfast lovely. Would recommend!

Limited on-site parking. No street parking available nearby.

The room was fantastic. Loved the little touches like the high end toiletries and the linen and the bed was very comfortable. The downstairs areas look a bit tired in comparison and the food was not as exciting as expected. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay and eat near to the Churchill Hospital where I was working for a couple of days. Very friendly welcome when I arrived and the room was comfortable and well furnished. If I have a small complaint it's a bit dark so reading wasn't that easy. I ate there both nights and by and large the food was VERY good. Shower was hot and breakfast choice was good although some fruit would have been good. All the staff were very personable so I have no hesitation in recommending the Black Boy to anyone.

We stayed here for one night and had a really lovely stay. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, the room was lovely and had everything we needed; really comfy bed, tv, bottled water, kettle, plenty of tea-bags, coffee machine and hairdryer. Breakfast was delicious and we had a great meal in the pub in the evening. Would love to return.

Amazing service, very happy

Having a pub/restaurant downstairs was fantastic! Both nights I took my travel journal downstairs and sat and enjoyed a drink or dessert and wrote and enjoyed the fireplace. The room was quiet, with a comfy bed. The staff was warm and very helpful. The included breakfast was the best I had on my trip. I wasn't driving, so having the bus into city center just a few blocks down the street was helpful. The area around the inn was quiet and felt safe.

Lovely short stay at this hotel. Very friendly staff. Room is a good size with a comfortable bed. The hotel is nicely decorated. Parking is easy and it's a short walk to the bus to get into town which makes it easy to access the town, which is not easy to drive to. We also ate at the restaurant which was a good experience.

Really great place to stop overnight. Lovely restaurant with delicious range of food on the menu. Greeted by friendly staff who were helpful. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Rooms were lovely.

Lovely room to stay in. It had everything we needed. Staff were excellent, very friendly and happy to provide us with early breakfast which we ordered the night before. There was a bit of noise from pub customers sitting outside below our window but we expected this on a nice warm evening. Would thoroughly recommend staying at the Black Boy.

Loved it. Perfect location, charming building, and amenities. Room was comfortable and food was great.

I was booked in for an outpatient procedure at the John Radcliffe, so decided to make a 2 day "minibreak" of it. Lovely clean room and bath/shower. Good early spring weather, so I walked both to and from the JR (15 min to West Wing). Good varied lunch and supper menus. Breakfasts (included in my tariff) were superb. Staff and landlord very helpful and welcoming. I now need an excuse to revisit!

Lovely place, friendly, helpful. Breakfast was fantastic as was the evening meal. Great spot if you need to visit the hospital, just 15 minutes walk. Lovely cocktails too

It was a beautiful stay, very comfortable, great food snd good service.
