I stayed in a single en-suite, which was a surprisingly good size, including the shower. The decor was a bit dated, but overall quite clean, all the essentials and complimentary coffee and water which was great. My only thing to riase and of course I knew this when booking was the noise from the pub below. With that said, once the pub closed and everyone had left at 11:30 it quickly became deathly silent and I fell straight to sleep. It was next to a semi busy road that got loud from about 5:30am, but the bed was comfortable and I usually struggle to sleep before a marathon, but I got a solid 6 hours. Considering the room rate, I think this was good value and would stay again.

We only stayed for one night. Room was large with a double bed and 2 single beds and very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location, only a few minutes walk in to the main town and market place. Would definitely recommend.

Back for a second stay. Perfect location. Opposite a windmill. Extremely good value, comfortable, clean accommodation in a friendly pub. Dog friendly too! Sarah who runs the bar and welcomes guests is just lovely and goes out of her way to help, and Paddy the manager served up a delicious breakfast. I'll be back!

Lovely pet friendly place with great hosts
Lovely last minute booking. Customer service was excellent, couldn’t do enough. We choose our accommodation based on it being Pet friendly. Such a welcome for our Reggie. Nice secure outside area to let your beloved dog outside without worry. The only faults were room & bed looking/feeling a bit tired & breakfast appeared mainly fried so a lot of oil. We stayed on a Friday and being a pub were disturbed until quite late.

Super lovely!
Stayed here 25/05. I wasn’t about very much but Amy who checked me in was really friendly and welcoming. I stayed in a single room over-looking the river and a cute little windmill. Room was lovely, clean and warm and had everything you would need. Bed was comfortable, I was asleep as soon as my head in the pillow. Walls are quite thin but wasn’t noisy by any means. Breakfast was really nice, I was greeted by Paddy, who too was friendly. I ordered a Vegetarian Full English and everything was cooked lovely. This is a dog friendly B&B and I had the pleasure of meeting resident dogs Teddy and Oris who were very well behaved! Will definitely stay again if I’m back in the area, highly recommend.

The room was tidy and toasty which was welcoming as the weather was quite chilly.The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. Breakfast was nice, various cereals and full English if required. Pub is 10 minutes walk from Boston centre where there are several eateries...this pub doesn’t serve food. The pub is dog friendly and there is a nice park 4 minutes walk from the pub. A very nice place to stay and good value for money.

Be aware
Be aware, the Hotels.com rating is very misleading. They don't serve evening food, it's just a pub with a few rooms above. I was shown to my room and handed a selection of local take away menus. The room smelled bad, the bathroom was dirty and needed a good clean, it was cold and the wooden window frame was so rotten you could see daylight through it. The beds had not been changed from the previous night, you could clearly see human hair in both beds with the smells that go with this. I had prepaid, so I found an alternative hotel nearby, I couldn't spend another minute in that room, disgusting! Nothing good to say at all.......be aware.

This is a splendid budget hotel, good parking within the hotel grounds and about a mile and a half from the town centre where one may park in the market square from 18:00 to 8:00 for £1. The Kings Arms is exactly as described, friendly, lively but no intrusive noise in the bedroom. Plenty of space in the bedroom, a huge bath and lots of hot water. The latter was much appreciated as I recovered after finishing Boston Marathon. Vey comfortable bed and good, controllable bedroom heating so I had an ideal sleeping temperature. I require a gluten free diet and also, on marathon day, was grateful for the special marathon friendly breakfast cheerfully provided at an early hour by the most excellent gentleman"Paddy" all factors a must for a successful marathon run. Paddy also made me a delicious full English breakfast on Monday morning. If in Boston again I would most definitely stay at the Kings.
