Black Boy Inn

Historic hotel situated in the heart of the Royal Borough of Caernarfon, within the town walls dd
(4220)

The Black Boy Inn (or just Black Boy) in the Royal Town of Caernarfon in Gwynedd, Wales is a hotel and public house which is thought to date back to 1522, making it one of the oldest surviving inns in North Wales. It is within the medieval walls of Caernarfon, a few hundred yards from Caernarfon Castle. Our Head Chef Mark Jones has a wealth of experience and excels in international cuisine. He started in the Stables locally here at the tender age of 15. With the recent addition of Ty Dre, there are now 39 high quality rooms whose residents will want to try our cuisine and we continually assess and review our resident’s feedback. Please feel free to send an e-mail with any observations regarding any dish or dishes you have experienced at The Black Boy Inn

⚔️ Caernarfon wasn't always this peaceful.

Behind the castle walls you can see from our windows lies centuries of siege and rebellion - from Madog ap Llywelyn's revolt in 1294 to Owain Glyndŵr's rising over a century later, when 300 Welsh soldiers fell defending their homeland.

We've dug into the full story of Caernarfon's battles, the Iron Ring of castles built to hold Wales, and why the Welsh flag still flies proudly over the castle today. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Pull up a seat at the Black Boy Inn and read the full history 👇

Now the bustling seaside market town and historical wonder clad in ancient bricks with a glorious seaside dockland and forestry to boot, this idyllic ancient settlement is - let’s not forget - a fortress and so purpose-built to defend against invading attackers. So with this in mind - let us delve...
