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.

Great place !

Liked: The Black Boy is an exceptional property, from its town centre location to its most comfortable beds, it is excellent. Then, on top of all that, its staff are all superb, could not be more helpful and cheerful !
Disliked: Unfortunately, there’s no lift but that’s a minor inconvenience for a great pub/ restaurant/ accommodation.

Cozy Inn along the coast...

Liked: Location to the castle was perfect. We felt like we were within the castle walls and living part of history. The restaurant was fantastic English Pub food for dinner and the staff were friendly and helpful. What a great surprise in an out of way location as part of our trip to Wales.
Disliked: Parking was down the street away from the hotel but they helped us find the free parking.

Liked: Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent! It was fun staying in the middle of such a busy, bustling town.
