Hotel Description
The Black Boy is a 16th-century inn within Caernarfon's historic town walls. It serves hearty gastro Welsh food and real craft beers in front of roaring log fires and is an easy walk from the town center and 13th-century castle. The Black Boy Inn dates back to 1522 and is one of the oldest inns in North Wales. While updating the rooms to a high standard the property has retained their unique character and atmosphere by using local traditional building materials with handmade furniture and quality fittings. Some of its walls are 1.2 to 4.9 feet thick. The wood paneling creaking floorboards low ceilings narrow staircases and thick wooden beams create a cozy atmosphere. Black Jack's is a separate part of the inn and is located in a courtyard to the rear. Eight of these 10 spacious rooms have mini kitchens and a small seating area. The Black Tower is a listed Edwardian building locate towards the rear of the inn in a separate building. It is a few minutes' walk from Caernarfon Castle.

Warm, comfortable and friendly. Food...

Liked: The room and bed were excellent. Plenty of space. However, I'm fit and could climb the stairs to the 2nd floor. I didn't spot a lift, but then I didn't look for one. So that would need to be checked. The breakfast was very tasty and lots of it.
Disliked: Nothing really

Beautiful place and premises. We...

Liked: Caernarfon is absolutely beautiful as is the Black Boy Inn itself. The staff were lovely.
Disliked: For meat eaters without allergies, the food looked and smelled excellent. As a vegetarian coeliac, the options were very limited and a little bland. I fully accept that I’m the awkward one here, but if might be worth looking at those options. The 5 bean chilli was very bland. The breakfast was ok, but not remarkable.
