Easter holiday bed and breakast accommodation in Boston Linconshire
Well it’s been a long cold winter so far in the UK and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to the start of spring andsome sunshine and warm weather again.
Hazel and I have been busy over the winter putting the finishing touches to the refurbishments to Boston Lodge and preparing for the first bank holiday of the year, the busy Easter holiday week and also the summer season at our bed and breakfast accomodation in Boston Lincolnshire.
Many people will be heading to the east coast and touring the fens and we look forward to welcoming returning vistitors and many new ones over the easter holidays and summer season.

P.S. The coffee pot is warming for you.

Historic Boston
Historic Boston
Boston has a fascinating history, through the centuries it has been a major port , trading with Europe, a religious centre in the thirteenth century, and continues to the present day as a thriving market town.
Boston is dominated by the beautiful St Botolph’s Church. It is locally, and affectionately known as “the Stump” and for centuries has been used as a navigation aid by seafarers. St Botolph’s is famous for being England’s largest parish church with the highest church tower.
The Guildhall Museum in South Street dates back to 1450, when it was built as a hall for the Guild of St Mary. In 1546, the Guildhall became the Town Hall for the newly formed Corporation of Boston. It housed both the prison and the Courtroom as well as the Council Chambers . Boston’s most famous ‘prisoners’ were the Pilgrim Fathers who were arrested and tried in 1607 before eventually escaping to Holland and then on to Massachusetts, where they became the Governors of the new town of Boston. Visitors can see the very cells in which they were imprisoned and imagine what those Puritan founders of the modern USA must have felt!
Boston not only has the tallest church tower, but also the tallest working windmill! Maud Foster Mill, built in 1819 is still used to ground flour and it is open to the public three days a week (extra day during the summer ). There are remarkable views of Boston from the mill tower. Visitors can enjoy homemade cakes and vegetarian dishes in the mill tea rooms.
