We stayed in the Black Boy (the hotel part...come on, even I wouldn't sleep IN the pub!) whilest in the area for a wedding. It was within walking distance of the train station, in the middle of town and overall was a lovely experience!
The pictures on the website don't do it justice. It's no Hilton but the rooms are clean and quite nice. We had a shared bathroom and were hesitatn, only to find out it was a large and really clean bathroom that we only had to wait for once (5 minutes). We left the window open and there was minimal noise at all. The breakfasts (included) are your traditional fry ups, with the chef being super nice when I picked at my breakfast (the wedding was a bit too epic, I was waaaay too hungover).
For the pub part, it was a typical pub...the people and staff were super nice and joked around wtih us all night as well all watched the Olympics Opening ceremony together.
I'd definitely stay here again, it was my first time staying at a pub B&B with a shared bathroom and it was a great experience! read more
