4- and 5-star hotels in Boston
It is for anyone weighing a town-centre hotel against a country house or lakeside cabin on the edge of the Lincolnshire Fens.
Staying in Boston
The most reviewed properties in the town are The Leagate Inn, The White Hart Hotel Boston Lincolnshire and Premier Inn Boston. The shortlist is split between the centre and the surrounding countryside. The White Hart Hotel Boston Lincolnshire and Cattle Market View Apartment sit 0.4 km from the centre, Garfits lodge 2.0 km, Rider Gardens Holiday House 2.4 km and Westwood Lodge B & B Boston 3.1 km. Couples short on time want the centre; families and groups wanting gardens, kitchens and quiet do better with the outlying houses and cabins.
