Cosy

A lovely spot, we stayed one night as we were doing a sponsored walk the next morning, we were kindly offered an earlier breakfast. The room was cosy and just what we needed. The setting was nice, we’d definitely stay again

Perfect cosy place for winter stay.

The Inn, full of character, great breakfast, clean rooms with all ameneties you might expect or need. The Staff were brilluant and the pub customers in tge evening did not made stay unpleasant. Unfortunatelly the room we were given, wasn't in the best location. The windows were facing the court yard, where the first morning we were woken up by beer delivery being received to the celler which to our luck happened to be underneath our room (104) and the following morning by maintenance team powerwashing the pattio of the court yard. Both issues evidence of a good thriving pub. The second improvement could be done on quality of mattress and bedding. As the bed being standard double size and the floor of the room tilting (17th century building), it created perfect storm me and my other half rolling to each others side for most of the night. Also as we were not able to open the windows the room would get very warm. At the end of the stay we noticed a fan tucked in the coupboard, it would have been nice if someone would have shown it on the arrival. The brakfast choice was amazing and the portions very large. We stayed ghe to eat foe dinner. Again portion sizes ment that we both had dishes from from the starter menue. Everything was very delitious. Overall great stay. Would go back there in colder season to enjoy cossines of the place.

We had a lovely double room at the front of the hotel that was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and had a very good shower. The bed was very comfortable and there were extra pillows provided if we needed them. Our evening meal was delicious and excellently cooked. Breakfast was also really good in fact one of the best breakfasts i have had in a hotel for a long time. I had the Greek yoghurt with granola and fruit and honey which had lots of lovely fresh fruit in and my partner had the cooked breakfast, both were generous portions. It is a very old building and could do with a bit of a makeover in places but it was a busy hotel and seemed popular with the locals and the staff were wonderful, very attentive, polite and happy to help.

The hotel is lovely and in a great location (note it is not in Norwich as suggested by Expedia but in Aylsham). Aylsham is a small but vibrant town with plenty of dining and drinking options. The food in the hotel itself is excellent, although the portions are very large. After one dinner and breakfast, we didn't need to eat again for 24 hours, as we were so full. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. However, our choice of room was less good. Room 104 is very noisy, with an air conditioning unit outside the window that ran all night. On the first morning, we were also disturbed early by someone rattling crockery, the window cleaner and a beer delivery. On the second morning, someone was vacuuming outside our room at 6am. The rooms on the next floor probably couldn't hear any of this, so if you ensure you don't get room 104, I would highly recommend The Black Boys.

One night stay

The hotel was as expected and we had a comfortable stay prior to doing the Norfolk Mighty Hike for Macmillan. The room was well furnished, the staff accommodating and the breakfast in the morning was very tasty. The only negative I would comment on was that the provision of one small bottle of water between two people is a little tight for the price of the room
