Hotel and staff were great. Very warm welcome at check-in, room was clean but quite warm and stuffy. Sadly the food in the restaurant whilst only pub food was quite expensive and extremely poor quality. We would definitely stay at the hotel again but would eat elsewhere.

This was our first visit to The Black Boy Inn and we absolutely loved it! We chose the 4 poster room, which was stunning, the bed was super comfy, the bed was huge and bedding soft and fresh. The bathroom was clean and fresh with lovely soft towels. The staff were so polite and helpful, the restaurant served lovely food, great portion sizes, arrived promptly and was very reasonably priced. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order and the range of cereal and fruits was brilliant. Lots of little bars and restaurants locally, supermarket was a walkable distance for anything needed. I wouldn’t stay any where else if we ever return to this part of Wales. Absolutely brilliant all round.

The hotel infrastructure and staff were excellent. Clearly much thought was given to the history of the ancient establishment and the artwork in the various public areas was impressive. The only let-down was the catering. The food was adequate but hardly memorable and the pre-paid breakfast - £15 - wasn’t really up to much. The promise of a tasty Egg Royale didn’t deliver. However, I would stay there again and the hotel deserves its good reputation; hopefully we were just unlucky with the catering during our visit. All credit to the staff though.
