Boston Lodge

Note on front door to say let yourself in. Picked up key from table inside to room and had to order breakfast night before. Room was clean, bathroom was dated and noise from adjoining rooms doors as they kept coming in and out. Breakfast - had ordered bacon egg and tomato but told no tomato by lady that was looking after place as owners away. I then asked can I have sausage instead then but this was not well received and moaned I will have to get one out of the freezer. Whilst eating my breakfast a couple came down with soya milk and was told oh I have been and bought soya milk especially for you and Linda McCartney sausages. The lady fussed around them so much but couldn't be bothered to buy a tomato. When I left she was so busy talking to the vegan couple didn't even look up to see me never mind say thank you or goodbye. As a single traveller I found the place really unfriendly and very insecure the front door key just left to let anyone in. Very disappointing as I was planning to revisit again area in Sept but will go elsewhere.

Didn't see anybody on check in, you do it yourself. Could get very little water either hot or cold in the room, for washing etc. If you want a cooked breakfast your fine. But otherwise, no fruit, yoghurt, marmalade or honey.

Our overnight stay was very brief. Upon arrival, we were a little late so the keys were left in the breakfast room. It took us a while to find the room but when we did it was fine. It was clean and tidy, good WiFi and quiet. Met the hosts the following day who were really friendly.

This review is in 2 parts,firstly for the area and secondly for the hotel. First the area. We visited on a Monday, the problem on a Monday is that there is nothing open locally if you want to eat unless you are prepared to travel into Boston, or similar, this is of course not the fault of the hotel, but when you are riding a motorcycle, like we were, it is a bit of a pain to have to get all your gear on just to go and eat food, obviously if you are in a car then it's less of an issue. You can order a takeaway, and it will be delivered to the hotel, but the food isn't great. Secondly, the hotel. There will be a big welcome from the friendly owner, and once you are shown to your room you will be left to your own devices, unless you need anything and then the owner is just a button press away. To be fair the decor is a little tired, but it is relatively clean, the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC, and maybe the rest of the hotel would benefit from a bit of modernisation, but honestly, for the price, it is more than acceptable. The breakfast was very good, and there was plenty of it, and as we left we got another big smile. Overall, the hotel was all that we needed and it was at a great price.

Nice place, good breakfast. Home from home. Not an ordinary hotel. Good location. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but a good value business stay....

Good breakfast entrance porch very scruffy inside was very dated shower head gave a very weak spray towel rail broken edge of bath dirty.

Rather dated décor but clean, comfortable bed and very good breakfast. Owner and staff couldn't be more helpful. Plenty of free parking and although it is close to A17 I found no problem with noise. Good value basic B&B

I found that it was a very friendly atmosphere the rooms were clean although a little compact. But overall I enjoyed my stay there

Heating works WiFi works Lots of towels Lots of pillows Quiet night times Good breakfast to start your day

Boston lodge is easy to find just of the A17, easy parking, self check in, rooms are clean and warm, Wi-fi is good if you have work to catch up on, breakfast is first class. I might be only a B&B but is is excellent for the price and the facilities.
