The hotel room let down this rating as the bathroom underfloor heating did not work (so the room was very cold) and the towels were thin and only 2 v small shower gels provided.
The bedroom was full of cobwebs and the mattress wasn’t of great quality.
That said, the staff were lovely and the pub was nice. The food (breakfast) was great quality.

Very friendly welcome in to a busy pub. Rooms were good but it is a very old building so beware of uneven floors etc. the shower was not very powerful but everything else was good and I had a decent nights sleep.
The breakfast was amazing. One of the best I have ever had. Didn’t have an evening meal but based on breakfast it would probably also be great, if a little expensive.
Would happily stay again.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable and clean, a bit of road noise in the morning, but quiet apart from that. Breakfast was very good and plentiful.

Everyone is very helpful and friendly !!! The food is fantastic can’t wait to go back !!
Staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable with a great shower. The Black Boys Hotel is a good place to stay right in the Market Square with many shops,’church at very close distance
If you struggle with mobility.
They have an extensive menu with very generous portions.
It is also a stone throw from Blicklimg Hall, Wroxham. Holt and other places to visit near by.
We have returned to the Black Boys several times and each time we have found the team to be friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was excellent, as was the included breakfast: a wide range of options with high quality ingredients, generous portions and all cooked to perfection. Thanks again for a fabulous stay.

The staff were all very lovely and welcoming, and the food was amazing! I had dinner and also breakfast - huge portions, freshly cooked, really good menu choices and it was all SO tasty. It felt a little pricey but I think it’s absolutely worth the money.
The building is old and the window is an old fashioned sash style. It was banging constantly through the night due to the wind, and I had to wedge some paper into the frame to try and muffle the sound. There was a loud, repetitive vibrating noise from about 6am
Clean ,comfortable room. Great breakfast included in the price of stay. Enjoyed a lovely dinner in the restaurant. Parking is a bit of an issue as the car parking is very limited. Very welcoming friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely room. Delicious food and very professional staff. Despite being very busy, we did not wait for food, which was so good. We certainly did not leave the restaurant hungry as the portion sizes were very big. We would hope to return again hopefully sometime soon.
Food was fantastic, service was wonderful and so friendly. Dont expect to get parked at busy times tho.
I cannot fault this lovely old character hotel.
I felt so welcome.
