About Black Buoy Inn
Black Buoy Inn occupies a traditional pub building on Black Buoy Hill in Colchester, the kind of place where the bar and restaurant sit at the heart of things rather than being an afterthought. It's a straightforward, welcoming hotel with the feel of a proper local inn, offering family rooms and en-suite accommodation alongside 24 hour reception and free on-site parking.
Rooms come with drinks available and the option of kids meals, making it a practical base for families as well as couples or those travelling for work, with meeting rooms also on hand. Breakfast is served each morning, and the garden and outdoor seating area give guests somewhere to sit outside the main pub rooms. Free WiFi runs throughout, and pets are welcome.
Colchester's surroundings offer plenty to fill the day, with cycling and walking routes nearby, fishing spots within reach, and further pubs, bars and restaurants dotted around the area. Watersports and local entertainment add further options for those wanting to venture beyond the inn itself.
