Since the early 16th Century, The Black Boy Inn hotel in Caernarfon has been welcoming weary travellers and visitors to the Town of Caernarfon and region of Snowdonia. Some things don’t change, whether you want to drink, dine or unwind, you will find The Black Boy Inn the perfect base to explore the beautiful Snowdonia Mountains of North Wales and Anglesey. We have forty-seven comfortable guest rooms all with private bathrooms and all individually styled and furnished. Free Wi-Fi is available for all our guests throughout the entire hotel.

Our celebrated restaurant is awarded a Visit Wales Bronze Award and has a menu to suit all tastes. Each dish is devised and perfected by our head chef and is designed to utilise local ingredients from local suppliers. Whether it’s a light lunch or an evening meal, The Black Boy Inn offers a warm welcome and good food to those in search of a relaxed and traditionally Welsh experience and environment. Our Caernarfon B&B, hotel-style stay is handy for Snowdonia and we strive to provide a personal service.

At the Black Boy Inn we have the breathtaking beauty of North Wales on our doorstep, with something to suit every taste.
You don’t need to travel far to take advantage of the numerous attractions Caernarfon and the surrounding area has to offer.

For instance, it is just a minute's walk to reach Wales' most magnificent castle; a looming, fantastical World Heritage Site built by Edward I as a medieval show of English strength. Nine hundred yards further is the starting point of the Welsh Highland Railway, offering a journey on one of the world's most powerful 2' gauge steam locomotives.

A few miles' drive is Snowdonia National Park which plays host to the highest mountain in Wales, and Anglesey, home of Beaumaris Castle, the last and largest of the castles to be built in Wales.
