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.

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

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.
