The King's Arms

Located just 6-8 mins walk from the centre of Boston, this is well-placed for anyone visiting, with the bonus of having a good-sized carpark. There is the added bonus of a view of the Maud Foster Windmill (one of the largest still operating in England) at the front. My single room was spacious, with a good-sized ensuite shower room - and, at last, a sink that was big and useful. The room was spotless with the added amenity of a coffee pod machine as well as the usual kettle etc, an armchair and a decent sized wall-mounted TV . The first thing that struck me was the friendliness of the staff: chatty & energetic Tracey, who greeted me on arrival and who is also the marvel behind the cleaning, with a wealth of experience in hospitality; Nick, who was the engaging barman in the evening, who clearly cares about the guests; and the boss, Paddy, who was the wizard behind the traditional full English breakfast, which included the illusive fried bread I remember from times gone by (you're away, so indulge yourself!). Paddy is a nice, chatty man, but is also un-intrusive enough to let you get on with breakfast between chats. I might also mention the punters who were most helpful in giving me tips and importantly, walking directions to the hospital which I was visiting. I couldn't have stayed in a friendlier environment. It is probably a Georgian building, so expect that the windows have secondary glazing due to regulations. It did not cause me any issues with the little noise coming from passing commuter traffic in the morning. This pales into insignificance when you consider the location, the view, the staff and the proximity to the town. I would definitely stay here again - and not just for the hearty breakfast!!

Fantastic warm welcome by Emily. Room really was lovely, shower fantastic BIG towels. Room was warm but not too hot, bar was welcoming, beer great, local town 5 minutes walk away. Breakfast was top notch, everything was cooked to perfection, tasty with an additional choice of cereal and toast. Just the most perfect stay, slept like a log, perfect location for us for our weekend visit to family. thank you to everyone including the local folks who made us feel welcome. The photo was the view from our room.

Great location with free onsite parking and welcoming hosts. Large spacious room comfortable beds - 3 in mine! Beautifully clean. Lovely crisp bedding and a coffee machine. The shower was hot and the towels white and fluffy. Breakfast was delicious. Horace the on-site security is diligent and keeps everyone safe. (He’s a Shitzu btw)

Absolutely everything! Paddy and staff were so welcoming and friendly. Yes the pub and rooms are dated but that’s what really made it for us! The room was big and the bed so spacious and comfortable. It was our first time away with our cocker spaniel puppy and he was welcomed with open arms and the beer garden was nice and secure that we could let him run around.. The shower was lovely and powerful and hot. Good yea and coffee making facilities, big TV, fabulous view out to the river and Mill. We will be definitely staying here again for sure and look forward to our next stay at this lively, lovely pub. Such a hidden gem

It is a proper pub. Clean, well presented rooms with excellent view of iconic windmill at front. Excellent location. Good value. Large car park. Charismatic and down to earth landlord who was genuinely warm and welcoming. Breakfasts were spot on. Charming pub dogs.
