The Old Kings Head in Newark and Sherwood

We were staying for 1 night after a family get together. Checking in was very easy, with a key left outside your room, so you could check in at your leisure. Rooms were gorgeously furnished, with everything you could possibly need and very clean. Really pretty flower borders just outside our bedrooms. All of us slept well in the very comfortable beds. Breakfast was amazing and we felt well catered for as vegetarians. We’re looking for an excuse to come back and stay here, we had such a good stay!

Absolutely stunning place, the room was gorgeous with a beautiful bathroom too. Everything you could need, including white dressing gowns and lovely soft towels. We stayed on our way to Lowestoft and liked it that much booked to stay on our way back ! We got the same room and the owners were good enough to cater for our elderly Labrador too. All home comforts and more , spotlessly clean and super comfy (king) bed. We had breakfast which was delicious, full English and toast, juice and coffee for £10 each, well worth it. Highly recommend x

Recently celebrated my 60th birthday party in the separate function room, known as the Barn, as I wanted somewhere local. The venue was perfect, the food scrummy, and the staff could not do enough, even taking drinks orders when it rained and getting wet themselves rather than the guests. The separate bar is a great idea giving more space in the room; the courtyard area was perfect for energetic children to safely burn off some energy and have fun together when it stopped raining. I have visited many times for lunch and will continue to do so, as now will many of my guests. The Old King's Head is an asset to the village. Thank you for helping make my celebrations special.

Have just been for afternoon tea. The sandwich fillings were generous and the cakes were to die for. Happily they gave us some boxes to take home what we couldn't manage. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back

My husband and myself really enjoyed staying here. Room was big and we also had a large wet room. Food was delicious, we had breakfast and also had lunch in the coffee shop. Staff were efficient and friendly.

We had our wedding reception in the function room at the Old King’s Head and it was simply perfect! From the start Vicky, Nathan and the team provided us with fantastic service and made everything easy and stress free. The whole team were so attentive and they truly cared that we had the best day. The afternoon tea was delicious and went down a treat with our guests. The accomdation was modern, tastefully decorated and so clean. We had the best day! The venue was perfect for us 💕 Thank you so much all, we really apprecaited everything you did for us x P.S - Thanks for sorting the music, I completely forgot about it 😉

I had a super stay at the Old King’s Head. The room was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could need. The self check-in was very easy and well communicated. Breakfast was amazing! Overall great value. Would definitely stay again.

We have done our last couple of meetings here. The outbuilding is perfect to host it in. Just the right size and coffee and tea on tap. Yesterday we made use of the Christmas menu. I have to say it was superb. I went for the crayfish and prawn cocktail, the osso buco and the eggnog tart , all if which were great. The standout was the main. The beef was cooked to perfection, the mash was smooth and creamy and the gravy was lovely. Hats off to you guys, looking forward to the next visit even though I live in Norwich!

Had the most amazing meal for a 90th birthday but had the festive menu so doubled up as an a early family Christmas get together. Food was superb, top quality. Service was amazing, staff so kind and helpful both before and during our experience. Highly recommend. Some of our family were staying over in the B&B rooms, had a peek in one of the the rooms they look such high quality and cozy, great venue all round, thank you to all the staff

Absolutely lovely food and lovely old building staff can’t do enough for you it’s becoming a regular place to eat

Stayed over a weekend. Had a very large and tasty lunch staying in a large and very nice room ( we’ve travelled all over and had some very bad experiences) this is a beautiful place in a gem location ! Breakfast was unbelievably good after a wonderful sleep ! Cannot recommend this place and staff enough ! Will definitely be staying again.

Spent 6 nights here. Room was very comfortable and clean. The food was very good and reasonably priced and the staff were very helpful and friendly. 3 miles from Boston made it a good place for touring. EV charging on site was extremely handy. We had a great stay

Stayed just one night. Very nice room, sparkling clean and comfortable. The floor of my room was a bit sloping but it's an old building so to be expected. Excellent breakfast. Bit of traffic noise in the morning, but would recommend. Very convenient for RSPB Frampton.

Spent a night here on a cycling trip from Lincoln to Peterborough. Very comfortable room with good size bathroom. Good in-room tea/coffee facilities. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff.

Very clean comfortable room Staff lovely breakfast was plentiful just mind your head if your in the Duff room😂 Good parking as well

We looked for a quiet, one night stop-over in a village near to Boston. A revamped pub seemed to be a reliable option. Sociable it was not; instructions for access, though accurate, were full of the advantages of time-saving and lack of paperwork. It worked fine, however, part of the joy of travelling is meeting people. Our room was excellent: did we need the “fluffy dressing gowns, huge bath towels and wonderful huge bed (the equivalent of the much publicised Premier Inn)? Answer - not at this price for overnight - probably my mistake. The location was our main negative. By choosing a village, we hoped for a quiet night but it was not to be; the roads were busy until late and again in the early morning. As mentioned by others, we also question the use of a green nightlight in the ceiling which cannot be turned off - it drove my wife crazy. The stairs to our room, the Read Room, were tight and curving.

A remarkable building renovation with food and friendly staff to match. The atmosphere is relaxed with tables well spaced apart and each located next to examples to true Lincolnshire craftsmanship. Food is cooked to order from a varied menu.

Booked this as my dog had a big operation at the vets in the village. Perfect location room very nice everything you want was there . The only down side was the tv it was impossible to get any channels due to the portable ariel so give up after 30 minutes of trying . Sadly I think £90 a night is a bit steep considering no TV. On the other hand it's a android TV so if you had netflix your laughing .

Stayed for two nights this week. I've stayed here before and will definitely be back soon. Once again, everything was perfect - comfortable room and a great venue, delicious cooked breakfast and fabulous staff. The Old King's Head is a stone's throw from historic Boston, and the fantastic birdwatching at RSPB Frampton Marsh. Thank you Vicky and the team - faultless again!!

Myself & my wife stayed for one night ( booked via Booking.com). We could not have wished to stay in a better place. Great location, very well equipped, lots of nice touches, warm, comfortable beds, great shower etc etc. The flexibility of the team there was very much appreciated. I had to cancel the first date for various reasons, but Jonny & Vicky were kind enough to move the booking to a later date without fuss or additional charges - thank you. The Old Kings Head is pretty unique ( owned by Lincolnshire Heritage Trust) and is run in a unique kind of way. We look forward to staying there again for longer. We recommended them to a business we were dealing with.

This refurbished coaching inn is stunning ❤️ Vicky and the team do a wonderful job we received warm friendly staff upon arrival our room was perfect so clean, fresh ,quiet coffee machine was a plus also the products from white company in the bathroom was a real treat . We choose to eat breakfast the next morning and the food was above average 😋 out server and everyone was friendly and attentive top class place we will certainly return Xx Stephanie

Beautifully restored old building, our room was clean, warm, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Breakfast was great as was the service. Stayed for 3 nights and highly recommend.

We were impressed by Old The Kings. It was our first visit and we would definitely book to stay again if we are in the area. The accommodation is advertised as B&B and was priced accordingly whilst the size of room, facilities and furnishings were...

We stayed in the Cade room and it was lovely. Newly refurbished and decorated to a high standard. It was a spacious room and we loved the fact we could park right outside the door. The self check in system is great - and being...

The Old King's Head at Kirton (near Boston) PE20 1EG Tel. 01205 337770 is a beautifully restored old pub. It has a lovely atmosphere and a nice place to spend time either having a coffee and cake or a hearty lunch. The staff are very...

Stayed at the Old Kings Head in Kirton whilst visiting a relative in hospital in Boston. There is no reception as such, everything is done online via email. The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was everything you could ask for. I asked for something...

We have been visiting this place for lunch/coffee over the past couple of months while house hunting and were looking forward to it being our "go to" place for coffee once we had moved. On our original visits the menu offered a good selection of...

Despite the name, this is not your typical Public House Inn experience. There is no pub and no pub grub and nothing but the name to suggest it is a pub. Instead it is a converted pub made into a kind of self service motel...

We have just returned home from a fabulous 2 night stay. The room was lovely with some really nice touches. The bed, the pillows and the duvet were wonderful and of high quality. We both had great sleep. The shower was nice and powerful to...

I am not sure how to review the rooms as there isn’t a separate category for the excellent community initiative. It’s only been open since the end of last year but they seemed to have a reasonable number of visitors already. I believe you can...

What a beautiful building and fantastic facilities. The staff are friendly, professional and helpful. Superb rooms and the breakfast choices and presentation, exceptional. Comfy immaculate rooms compliment the yummy food. Highly recommended

It was the first time we’ve actually visited The Old Kings Head in Kirton village and we will definitely be going back. What a wonderful experience, good food, especially the stilton, chicken and spinach pie, it was absolutely delicious with a melt in the mouth...

I pop in for a break and coffee while delivering in the area. The staff are always friendly. The facilities are really clean and brilliant. Chloe makes the best coffee in Lincolnshire.

Visited Monday for lunch. Was fantastic all round. Team were great with Vicky leading the way. Always pleasant as greeted with a smile. Food was great and freshly cooked. Absolutely will return as soon as I’m passing.

Visited this place which is lovely inside and good choice of food however the two staff on duty today lacked customer service skills. One carried the glasses by the rim with her fingers inside - not hygienic at all. The other one on the till...

Recently booked for Sunday lunch. The food was home cooked & well presented. Plenty of vegetables and lovely to have different veg aside from the traditional. One of our party had apple pie for dessert, thank goodness I didn't as the portion size was amazing...

Just had Sunday lunch with friends - great choice on the menu. The minted lamb casserole was delicious, topped with a tasty scone. Puddings were excellent. A very talented team.

Visited at the weekend. On entering, the place looks beautiful. Very well designed, lovely furniture and local artwork. Staff were lovely. The place itself was cold so we had to keep jackets on during our visit. The menu prices are too expensive for what they...

popped in for a break and a coffee qhile working in the area. The place os suprerbly set out and decorated. The staff are very attentuve and friendly. Although i only had a coffee the main menu looked very appealing. Hopefully someday Ill be able...

The Old Kings Head has only recently opened after what I believe has been a very extensive refurbishment / rebuild. It is a lovely old building that has been done up to the highest standard. I had a lunch there with some colleagues a few...

Well good and bad first visit. The tour around Kirton led by wonderful volunteers was excellent . The overpriced cake and all items on the menu was a disappointment. Also quality and small portion of cake was very poor. Carrot cake was inedible.

A hidden gem, stumbled across this place and it was amazing, great service from everyone, they couldn’t do more for you and certainly teach the big chains lessons in hospitality. Went for the panini and it was probably the best I’ve ever had.

Popped in here for a spot of lunch as I was passing. What can I say. The food was amazing, service from the team was fantastic and swift and the whole place looked great. Sympathetically restored from what I believe to be an old pub,...

We visited for the first time today, the environment is lovely and inviting and the staff extremely pleasant and accommodating. However, the pricing for food seems a little ‘off’ given what we were presented with, for example, £2.95 for a small tea cake with butter,...
