The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful and artfully presented (both breakfast and dinner in the dining room). We thought our accommodations were very nice.
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
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.
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.
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

Nice place deep in Oxford neighbourhood. Not much around to walk to. Food was good and parking easy. Recommend if you have business in neighborhood. 1 to 1.4 hrs to LHR
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.
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.
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!
Handy location for John Radcliffe Hospital. Very friendly and hospitable hosts. Let me work in the bar whilst I was waiting for my partner to have his procedure. Thank you
