Fresh, individually cooked breakfast
I do not check rooms like they do on Four in A Bed! Room fine, though an easy chair in there would make it more comfortable.

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.

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.

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
