The Black Boys Inn is a charming 16th century coaching inn on land once owned by Hurley Abbey. In the 17th century its name became the Black Boy Inn to commemorate the secret visit of Prince Charles, later Charles II, fleeing from the Roundheads after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651; 'Black Boy' because Charles inherited a swarthy complexion from his Medici grandmother; and was always toasted as such by his Royalist supporters for the rest of the Civil War.
In the French style, the Black Boys Inn is a restaurant with rooms. So, after a delicious meal you can prolong the pleasure of our service - with a night in one of our beautiful bedrooms.
In its superbly simple style, each one reflects the nature of our cuisine. Many of them still have beams and other original features; and they all have power-showers or baths - with water from our own well. They also each feature tea and coffee-making facilities, digital television, a hairdryer, high-speed links to the Internet, and sweeping views of the Chilterns.
Remember to bring your trainers as we are a short walk to river for that early morning jog !!
The Telegraph, Jan Moir
"To this end, and with the help of his very talented chef, something special has been created here. The food at Black Boys is terrific in every way; the sourcing is impeccable, the prices are generous, the vibe is relaxed and the bedrooms are nice"
