We loved that the house was inside the town walls and so close to the castle

We had expected parking at the inn, however the car park was very small and nearly full when we arrived. I may have misread or misunderstood the detail on this subject on the website. We spoke to reception staff about our inability to secure parking on site. The lady who dealt with this was very helpful and we were given a voucher for parking in the town. This apparently was the last free parking voucher available, so if we had arrived later, we would have had unexpected additional expenses during our stay. The time it took to sort out parking was stressful as we had to pull up in a busy area beside the inn's parking area which was barriered off. It was a bit worrying parking away from the inn, especially as our parking permit had a rigid expiry time the next day. Driving away from the off site car park was tricky, because of the orientation of the parking bays and exit that was not obvious to us from the car park signage. This would not discourage us from staying again however, as next time we would know what to expect and the positives of the accommodation certainly outweigh the car parking issues.

The inn was situated within the town and walls, our rooms were superbly appointed.

Nothing!

Lovely old building, full of character. Lovely room under the eaves, quirky. No noise at all from anyone else in the inn - good thick solid wall. All staff were friendly and helpful with any queries. Two meals in the inn, delicious.

Parking isn't easy, free parking just down the road after 16:30 - 10:00 but limited spaces.

Ideally situated, lovely old buildings. Large, clean, comfortable room with everything you need supplied. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Dinner was delicious, plentiful and good value.

The only negatives is that the curtains in the room do not provide a good black out and street lamps are are just outside the room. The free WIFI was working but there was no Internet. Not the hotels fault but getting to sleep was also not helped by somone playing music until the early hours in the room below or next door.

The location is excellent, inside the walled city and 5 minutes walk from the castle and quays. The hotel has a number of buildings and I stayed in the Town House, just round the corner from the main building. The room was spacious and clean and included a kitchen area. I ate in the main building which has various dining options including outside, a bar area and "coach house". I chose the bar which is snug and comfortable. Food can be ordered via an app, and service is efficient. Dinner quality was excellent. Breakfast is the coachhouse and again all excellent. There is no parking on site but the hotel can help with street parking if needed. I paid less than £5 for overnight

The only thing was the parking - limited spaces . But not massively inconvenienced . There is plenty of parking outside the wall .

Everything - could not fault this place one bit , the staff are amazing , especially the young chap who served us breakfast and drinks … he’s an absolute credit to the black boy in . Food was freshly cooked to order . The atmosphere and buzz of the place is incredible.

Great historical pub, great location, delicious food, tasty ale and friendly staff

Was a little difficult to get parked when I arrived but figured out that there are several public car parks close by so I used those. Also a small car park at the hotel that has to be paid for.

Great location inside historic walls of the town. Room was clean and had a nice bathroom and a comfy bed.

Although the parking was free the car park was some distance away from the inn.

Great location and a well equipped , clean room,

We stayed in one of the other buildings which was on the top floor with no lifts, so a little bit of inconvenience lumping too large bags up the stairs.

Excellent location right in the centre of restaurants and bars and 2 minutes from the Castle entrance. Food served in the Black Boy Inn was excellent.

Nothing!

I loved that this was such an old hotel and behind the city walls. The hotel is really amazing to stay in with its history. The restaurant downstairs serves very good food, and the bar has a great drink selection.

My bottle of wine disappeared and my glass when I used the gents!

All went well. Good quality.

Rooms are located above the pub so can be noisy until closing time. The bed was uncomfortable as the foot board makes sleeping difficult if you are over 6foot tall

Excellent location, spacious rooms and well furnished
