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.

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.
