Further afield, our convenient location means a 20 minute journey will take you to the city of Norwich, the Norfolk Broads or the North Norfolk coast. We were delighted to receive a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence Award again in 2019. The Black Boys Hotel is owned by the Colchester family who also run the Recruiting Sergeant, Horstead near Coltishall and The Buckinghamshire Arms in nearby Blickling. All three establishments display the same quality, friendliness and attention to detail that have made them so successful. The restaurant and bar areas of the Black Boys have been completely refurbished but stylised to keep that 17th Century feel with a modern ambience. Well kept real ales from the bar include Adnams and Woodfordes and a selection of wines are available by the glass or bottle.
