Something to interest everyone at Elms Farm Cottages

our self catering holiday cottage accommodation in Boston, Lincolnshire:
The local historic market town of Boston is 2 miles away with market
days on Wednesdays and Saturdays. St. Botolph's Church, locally known

top for some breathtaking views. A short BBC history of Boston can be

Visit Boston's Maud Foster windmill, the tallest working windmill in
the country, with a tea room and shop. They also sell a range of
organic flour that has been ground in the mill. Opening times can be
