Lovely place to stay in Oxford
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

Oxford short stay great find
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

Very high standard of comfortable accommodation
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.

Hidden Gem
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!
