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

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

Lovely pub inn stay
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.

Lovely stay
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.
